Permits & insurance

Prince Lee Acres is 196 acres of private, gated land on a dead-end road. It is the production's responsibility to determine what permits, insurance, and approvals are needed for the specific shoot. Off-property work such as public roads, road closures, or drones over neighbouring land follows Township of Uxbridge and Transport Canada rules.

  • $5M commercial general liability, standard for productions
  • Prince Lee Acres / Next Chapter Ventures named as additional insured
  • Certificate of insurance emailed before load-in
  • Township permits handled by production for any public-road work
  • Drone operators: valid Transport Canada RPAS certification
