Just discovered that MEC pays for a 2-day multi-trip annual travel insurance policy for members, perfect for the Ride to Conquer Cancer participants. Basically that means you have coverage for a whole year on any trips you make outside of BC that are 2 days or less in duration. Whether you make one trip or 20, you have insurance coverage.
Go to http://mec.cooperatorstravelinsurance.ca/index.php?pinLang=1 for a little more info, or just phone 1-800-449-4084. Have your MEC member number with you. It took me just 5 minutes to sign up. Now I don't have to worry about buying a policy.
If you appreciate this money saving tip, perhaps you could donate a couple of dollars - maybe 25% of what you would have paid for a similar insurance policy - to my fundraising effort?
