Insurance Canopy Partners With FirstService Residential to Simplify Event Insurance for Residential Communities

The New Program Streamlines how FirstService Residential Communities Handle Insurance Coverage for Events and Vendor Activities

PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH - August 5, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Insurance Canopy, a national leader in small business and vendor insurance solutions, is pleased to announce expanded access to its event insurance offerings within FirstService Residential managed communities. The partnership gives residents, management teams, and outside vendors a new way to secure coverage for on-site events and activities.

Residents and management teams can now access policies through a portal that directs users to insurance options based on their specific event needs, with coverage that fits the size and scope of each gathering. On-site vendors can also purchase short-term policies suited to their businesses, helping communities meet insurance requirements without added friction. 

"Property managers can often end up acting as the go-between for residents, vendors, and insurers," said Daryle Stafford, CEO at Insurance Canopy. "This program gives residents and associates at FirstService Residential communities access to a single place to find the right coverage and handle it quickly."

Event insurance often creates delays for residential communities, especially when coverage requirements vary by event or vendor. This partnership solves that by giving communities one place to manage those needs - an online process that skips agents and lengthy paperwork.

"Events bring people together, and our teams bring thousands to life each year, enhancing the resident experience across the communities we manage," said Andrew Lester, President of FS Insurance Brokers, an affiliate of FirstService Residential. "Insurance requirements for events can easily turn into a bottleneck for residents and management teams. Partnering with Insurance Canopy gives our communities a practical option that fits how events are organized and implemented on-site."

FS Insurance Brokers formed the partnership with Canopy after seeing steady demand from homeowners' associations and residential communities already using Insurance Canopy individually. Expanding that access through an enterprise program streamlined the quoting process for FirstService communities and shortened the time to purchase coverage.

Insurance Canopy will continue to assist residential communities with online purchasing tools and direct support that keep event planning moving without insurance becoming a roadblock.
