Life Insurance
Life insurance provides whomever you choose with a one-time, tax-free payment when you die. It has evolved over the years and can accommodate virtually everyone’s needs, whether it is for a specific period of time, or to create intergenerational wealth or retirement income, and some even provide benefits such as gym memberships and apple watches.
Few questions to ask yourself when thinking about life insurance:
- Do you need insurance to protect your family or do you need it to protect your business?
- Do you need it for a set period of time or do you need it to cover you for your entire life?
- Do you have any medical conditions or have you been declined for insurance in the past?
We explore all the different types of insurance including term, participating, universal life, and guaranteed life insurance as well as the various companies who offer it.
Disability Insurance
Most of us don’t think of our income as our single biggest asset — but it is. Disability insurance is designed to protect your income; it works when you can’t. It replaces a portion of your income if you become disabled and are unable to earn an income due to an accident or illness.
Disability insurance isn’t just for the self employed – it is an important aspect of a buy-sell agreement or to protect your business if a key person were unable to work.
We work with you to tailor a policy, considering potential risks you face at work and any health concerns.
Critical Illness Insurance
Medical advances have dramatically improved the survival rates of people who suffer critical illnesses such as cancer, stroke, and heart attacks. Recovery may come with a significant financial cost that impacts both you and the people close to you. A critical illness policy would provide you with a tax-free lump sum cash payment where you choose how to spend the money, such as reducing debt, replacing lost income while you take time off work to cope with your illness, hiring additional help at home, pay for new medical treatments not covered under the provincial health plans. We will help you find the right coverage for you.
Health & Dental Insurance

- physiotherapy to help with injury recovery, and
- medical equipment to help with your mobility.

How much does insurance cost?
Your age, sex, smoking status and overall health come into play and have an impact on your premiums. While it’s important that your premium fits within your budget, there are other things you should consider as well:
- how long do you need coverage for?
- how much coverage do you actually need?
- what are the additional options that are available and which are best for you?
We are here to help.
Women tend to live longer than men, so life insurance may cost less.
Generally, insurance is less expensive when you’re younger.
Family history, chronic diseases and lifestyle can increase costs.
If you have a dangerous job or participate in high risk activities, your insurance costs can be higher.
The type of policy you select will impact the premium you will be required to pay.
