Co-operators marks 50 years In Exeter for 16 years, the company started by changing insurance rules in the 1940s EXETER - One of Exeter's insurance companies took part in a nation-wide 50th anniversary celebra- tion of its parent company. The Exeter office of the Co-operators insurance [narked the event with the cutting of a cake. Town mayor Ben Hoogenboom, MP Paul Steckle, and MPP Paul Klopp were invited to help cel- ebrate the event, but it was Klopp who had perhaps the most per- sonal connection with the an- niversary. Klopp said he could remsmber when his grandfather sold policies for what was then a fledgling com- pany re -writing the rules of the in- surance game. The company got its roots in the 1940s in the rural areas of Sas- katchewan and Ontario. Klopp said it was formed when farmers became concerned about the high cost of insurance on farm vehicles at that time. By the time he could remember his grandfather selling Co-operators Insurance Associa- tions of Guelph policies in the 1960s, Klopp said the company had saved farmers millions of dollars over the years. "It was mainly for farmers," said Klopp. Since that time, however, the company has grown to include 350 offices across Canada, and now sells just about every kind of policy, said agent Glenda Gardner. The co-operative spirit is still alive, however, as all policy holders are also automatically share- holders in the company. Huron MP Paul Klopp cuts a cake in honour of the Co- operators Insurance national 50th anniversary. Klopp's grandfather sold pollicies for the company from its early days.
