Teen is Going to College


The moment’s come. The bags are unpacked, the bed is made, pictures are on the wall, and the snack-shelf is fully stocked. It’s time to say good-bye. And in your stomach, you feel an odd mixture of pride and joy, anxiety, and…sentimentality. Can this bright young college student who is positively vibrating with excitement REALLY be your little one who just learned to walk?

What does retirement have to do with my auto insurance?


Here you are, counting down the last days before you retire, after what seems like a lifetime of work, "climbing the ladder", and investing into your RRSP and TFSA.   Perhaps changing your investments to a RIF.  

Buying a Car


There you are, out car shopping on a sunny Saturday morning. Whether it’s your first car or your fifth, you can’t help feeling the bubbles of excitement as you stroll across the lot, coffee in hand, looking at all the different cars.

Saskatchewan Plate Insurance Has it's Limits

I am often asked  “Why do I need a package policy on my vehicle when Saskatchewan has no fault insurance?”  It is certainly a good question since the term “No Fault” implies that no one will be held responsible for the accident.   This is simply not the case.

Your Car After The Accident

Repair or Replacement 

The Advantage Of Replacement Cost Insurance

What is replacement cost insurance?  
As soon as you drive your new car off the lot, it looses some of it's value.  The loss is going to vary from vehicle to vehicle.  Within a year, your vehicle could loose as much as 30% of it's value.  Replacement cost will protect you from this loss in value for up to three years from the time you buy the vehicle.

Curbing? - Do You Really Have Insurance?

Curbing - the practice of purchasing a vehicle with the intent to resell it for a profit.

Many insured's do not realize is that there is an exclusion in their personal auto insurance policy that voids coverage on any vehicle that is purchased with the intent to resell the vehicle for a profit.
