"Thanks to the... independent business people who belong to the Insurance Brokers Association..., consumers have access to a wide array of insurance products at competitive prices. In communities large and small, insurance brokers help individuals and businesses get the coverage they need and the support they need when they make a claim. I also know that as respected professionals in your communities, many of you are involved in local business, sports and charitable organizations..."

It's clear that insurance brokers play crucial role in socio-economic fabric of Manitoba. The Insurance Brokers Association of Manitoba has long been proud of the fact that its member brokers have been involved with and have continuously supported their communities and charitable activities for decades.

Whether it is taking care of their clients by providing them with the insurance that best fits their needs, supporting clients by giving them money for their children's various annual fundraisers, prizes for wedding socials or contributing to build the new local recreation centre, insurance brokers play a crucial role in not only the sustainability of their communities, but in the strength the Manitoba economy. From Emerson to Churchill, from Virden to West Hawk, Manitoba's brokers have been putting upwards of $10 million annually back into their communities.

Insurance brokers know what's going on in your neighbourhood and are the best people to advise you on everything from vehicle insurance to home security. Being local and committed to your community, your insurance broker can help you reduce your risk and exposure by providing information about road safety, home security, emergency preparedness, and other issues specific to where you live and work.
