Want A Say In My Own Insurance Protection
Ontario's mutual insurance companies were started by early settlers who believed in working together
to protect themselves against the devastation of fire. Today that principle of neighbour
helping neighbour in times of crisis is still our driving force.
Now we're 45 mutual companies strong, owned and directed
by our policyholders. Still providing the best in protection.
