Toronto, December 12, 2023 – The Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC) is pleased to announce that Optimum General Insurance (Optimum) has maintained its support of the Broker Identity Program (BIP) at the Full Partner level.
Optimum’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.
