Toronto, June 5, 2023 – The Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC) is pleased to announce that The Portage la Prairie Mutual Insurance Company (Portage Mutual) has maintained its support of the Broker Identity Program (BIP) at the Full Partner level.
Portage Mutual’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.
“Portage Mutual is proud of its partnership with IBAC and enthusiastically supports the Broker Identity Program. ” states Portage Mutual President & CEO, Wayne Wyborn.
IBAC Chief Executive Officer Peter Braid adds: “We greatly appreciate Portage Mutual’s long-standing partnership and their strong support for the broker channel. This renewed investment underscores the essential role that insurance brokers play in providing trusted advice and customer service to their clients.”
