Luckily I did not have to file a claim, although the trip did not go as planned.
However, the tour operator, Quark Expeditions, agreed to refund a pro-rated amount for 3 days of the expedition cost and and pay additional reimbursements for three days at $100 per person per day to cover meals expenses for the extra days we had to spend in Calgary waiting for embarkation.
Here is the letter they provided for anyone wanting to file a claim.

Re: Canada’s Remote Arctic aboard Ultramarine – August 19- August 30, 2023 – Trip Interruption
Dear Travel Insurance Provider,
This letter is to inform you of the Trip Interruption to the above voyage due to wildfire activity in Yellowknife which resulted in the cancellation of their charter flight from Calgary to Resolute. Guests remained at the joining hotel Calgary until their return home.
On August 20, 2023 passengers were scheduled to fly on Summit Air charter flights departing Calgary at 9:00AM & 10:00AM and arriving in Resolute Bay at 3:33PM and 5:18PM where they intended to embark Ultramarine. However, on August 18 we were advised by Summit Air flights had been cancelled as their aircraft and crew had been redirected to assist in the wildfire efforts.
With Summit Airlines unable to operate charter flights Resolute was no longer a viable embarkation point, which resulted the embarkation point of Ultramarine changing to Iqaluit. Guests remained in Calgary until August 22. Flights were scheduled with Canada Jet Lines to operate on August 22 departing Calgary at 11:45 AM and arriving in Iqaluit at 6:10PM. Upon arrival in Iqaluit guest embarked upon Ultramarine and continued their expedition.
As per our terms and conditions, no compensation has been provided to travelers for flights outside our program or other expenses incurred due to the interruption.
Should you have any questions regarding this voyage interruption please contact Quark Expeditions via [email protected] with “Canada’s Remote Arctic August 19 departure Trip Interruption”, in the subject line.
Very Sincerely,
The Quark Expeditions Client Experience Team

FIrst time I had to use my travel insurance I had two canceled flights and had to stay overnight. I used this insurance to cover part of my costs. Air Canada refused to cover my entire hotel cost after having to stay overnight. It was easy to submit a claim. Not a long wait and I received an email for additional documentation (just my original boarding passes). Wasn't a long wait after that, I received a check for the amount I requested.

I submitted a claim for a visit to the medical unit by phone and was told I would get an email with instructions and was given a claim number. I waited about 2 weeks and never received an email. I tried calling back customer service 4 to 5 times over the next week waiting on hold for hours. Finally I reached an agent after hours on wait and gave her the claim number. She said no such number existed in their system. She was very polite and said she would take the information again and file a new claim. She waited on the phone while I checked to see if the email she sent me came through and gave me her direct number if I had a problem. I submitted all of the necessary paperwork the following day. I received a check 4 months later the day I was leaving for another cruise that I had insured through a different company.

The plan gave us peace of mind and was a reasonable cost. Thank goodness we didn’t have to use it!
It was easy to research and choose a plan that worked for us.

Easy to check and compare different plans. Fortunately, we did not need any of the coverage provided, but in these crazy times that we live in, it was good to have the insurance if it were needed.

Response time and processing for claim was slow. We had to contact them twice to ask about status and then they would take action.However, claim was finally paid and payment was fair.
