Toronto, May 29, 2023 – The Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC) is pleased to announce that HSB Canada, part of Munich Re, has maintained its support of the Broker Identity Program (BIP) at the Full Partner level.

HSB Canada’s sponsorship will support IBAC’s Broker Identity Program (BIP), a national advertising campaign that raises awareness of the significant value that insurance brokers provide for their clients – choice, advice and advocacy.

In addition, their investment will contribute to important IBAC initiatives including IBAC’s technology leadership, professional development of the broker workforce, and our strong and effective federal advocacy to maintain the separation of banking and insurance, which protects consumers and promotes a fair and competitive marketplace.

“A strong independent broker network is crucial to the health and success of the insurance industry. HSB Canada fully supports IBAC’s endeavours to advocate on behalf of our broker partners to government and the greater community”, said Tammy Parris, AVP Regional Offices and Insurance Operations for HSB Canada.

IBAC Chief Executive Officer Peter Braid added: “We greatly appreciate HSB’s renewed investment and their commitment to the broker channel. Their support underscores the importance of leveraging our collective voice to promote consumer protection and advocate for the best interests of brokers, consumers, and the insurance industry.
