Accessibility
Providing Goods and Services to People with Disabilities
Munich Reinsurance Company of Canada & Temple Insurance Company (“MROC/Temple”) is committed to excellence in serving all of our customers, including individuals with disabilities.
This Accessible Customer Service Plan is intended to meet the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (the “AODA”) and the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07.
Assistive devices
MROC/Temple is committed to serving the needs of individuals who have disabilities and who use assistive devices to obtain, use or benefit from our services. We will use our best efforts to accommodate all assistive devices. However, if necessary, we will use alternate methods to provide service to customers with disabilities in a manner that takes their disability into consideration.
Communication
MROC/Temple will communicate with individuals who have disabilities in ways that take into account their disability-related needs.
Service animals
We welcome individuals with disabilities and their service animals. While MROC/Temple does not have any premises in the Province of Ontario which are generally accessible to the public, we will provide our services to individuals who have service animals in a manner which respects their dignity, independence, integration, and equality of opportunity.
Support persons
An individual who has a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person assist them when accessing our services. Consent will be obtained from the customer to discuss confidential information with the support person present, prior to any conversation where confidential information is discussed.
Notice of temporary disruption
In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to our services, MROC/Temple will notify customers promptly. A clear notice will be circulated including information about the reason for the disruption, its anticipated length of time, and a description of alternative services, if available. The notice will be posted electronically in order to provide an opportunity to make alternate arrangements. Where appropriate e-mail notification will be provided as well.

MROC/Temple will provide training to all employees, volunteers and others who deal with the public or other third parties on our behalf.

An overview of the AODA and the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07;
