And what we’re all about.

Proudly Canadian

For Canadians by Canadians, we’re a company that imagines bigger and better things, which inspires us to think innovatively, evolve, and adapt. Our passion and desire to make a difference is evident in everything we do.

By focusing on our customers first, we’ve become one of this country’s leading and most trusted property and casualty insurance companies.

150 years in the making

Founded in 1871, we’ve been protecting Canadians’ homes, cars, businesses, and farms for a long time now. Because our customers are at the centre of everything we do, we make one simple promise: We'll be there for you when you need us most — at home, at work, and on the road.

We’ll be there when you need us most

We've been doing this for a long time, and we take pride in getting our customers’ lives back to normal as quickly as possible. Here are some of their stories.
