Wawanesa Insurance: One of the largest property and casualty insurers in Canada
by Heather Ferguson
Wawanesa Insurance Company is a Canadian company that is owned exclusively by its policyholders. Founded in 1896 in the then small village of Wawanesa, Manitoba, this is a company that has stood the test of time in the quality of its service to its customers. Today, it is one of the largest property and casualty insurers in Canada with a roster of insurance products distributed by over 1,300 independent brokers nationwide. Showing a steady and consistent growth for over a century, Wawanesa Insurance Company can lay claim to an A+ rating from the A. M. Best Co. which is the oldest insurance company in the world. An insurance industry leader for all of North America, Wawanesa Insurance Company has parlayed its strength into making successful inroads into the competitive U.S. market under the Wawanesa General (USA) Subsidiary Company. With a commitment to developing innovative and efficient responses to client needs, Wawanesa Insurance Company displays an outstanding claims and underwriting service with a stellar reputation for putting its policyholders first.
Founded in the humble beginnings of the Canadian prairies, Wawanesa Insurance Company was created a a wedge against the natural disasters, equipment failures and high transportation costs facing local farmers in Manitoba in the 1800's. The formation of a mutual company to keep insurance premiums to a minimum for the local farmer grew over time to diversity into coverage of other public buildings such as schools, churches, and homes by the end of the century, and life insurance which was ushered in in 1950. By then, Wawanesa Insurance Company had begun to spread into other provinces with increased branches, staff, and a team of travelling salesmen. A company that thrived and survived the depression and war years, Wawanesa Insurance Company has greeted the new millennium as one of the leaders in the insurance industry.
Locally, Wawanesa Insurance Company has a number of outlets in the Southeastern New Brunswick region responsible for presenting a range of comprehensive coverage in property, personal, automobile, and life insurance.
