A number of Pool & Hot Tub Council of Canada (PHTCC) member companies have qualified for supplementary legal insurance during the first year of the association’s new educational credit program.By participating in the program, which was introduced last August, qualifying builder, dealer and service companies who regularly upgrade their skills have the opportunity to secure supplementary insurance coverage that is not typically included in standard general liability portfolios. Class 5 and 12 PHTCC members that earn 200 educational credits in a given year are eligible to receive this supplemental coverage that has been made available through the PHTCC’s affinity partner RDA Inc., in co-operation with DAS Canada.
