Insurance that gives backWe strive to charge only what we need to, and if our Board of Directors deems that we have collected more than we need for the claims presented to us, we give back! We have mailed refund cheques 6 times in the last 10 years.

Proudly Canadian and owned by youWe are a Canadian company owned and run by our policyholders. Our board of directors are members of your community and are elected by our policyholders at our annual meeting. The board meets once a month to direct and guide the company.

Non-profit philosophyWe operate on a non-profit philosophy. Our sources of income are policy premiums and investment income, and our expenses consist of claims and administration costs. Any surplus remains in the company and benefits our policyholders by reducing their premiums and ensuring the financial stability of the company. This non-profit philosophy means your insurance dollar is working hard for you.
