Consolidated Insurance Program

The purpose of the NPP Consolidated Insurance Program is to provide adequate insurance coverage to all NPP activities, at minimum cost to NPF, through the purchase of central policies covering property losses and liability claims.

The Non-Public Property Consolidated Insurance Program (NPP CIP), covers all non-public property (NPP) and all non-public fund activities of the Canadian Forces (Regular Force). 

A-FN-105 Chapter 11 explains the coverage provided and other details concerning the NPP CIP. It outlines the procedures for making a claim under the program, provides information for reporting changes in insurable risks, registration of vehicles, and reporting of accidents that may result in a claim.

It is important to note that because of the complexity of insurance coverage and the number of different situations that can arise, it is not possible to cover all circumstances in chapter 11. Units should contact the Senior Analyst Consolidated Insurance Program for clarification of any matter or circumstance where there is doubt about coverage under the NPP CIP. 

  • Activities Covered
    Coverage under the NPF CIP includes all Non-Public Property (NPP), business or economic undertakings of CANEX, messes, Base/Wing/Station Funds, PMQ councils, and the CFCF. 
     
    Unit, Squadron and Branch Funds are covered if they are accounted for in the Base/Wing/Station NPF accounting records and their funds are deposited in the Base/Wing/ Station bank account. Trading activities operated by these funds will be covered if they make central fund contributions. Additionally, all museums operated by units of the Regular Force are covered, and accredited museums of the Reserve Force under CFAO 27-5 may also be covered.

  • Values Insured
    • Furniture and equipment is insured at its current replacement cost less depreciation
    • Merchandise is insured at its cost price
    • NPF owned vehicles are insured for their actual cash value (or fair market value) as at the date of loss or damage
    • Buildings are insured on the basis of replacement cost on the date of loss without deduction for depreciation.  If a building is lost by fire, etc, but is not replaced, settlement of the claim will be on the basis of the actual cash value (ACV). ACV is the current replacement value less depreciation.
