Life and health insurance

When people think of insurance, they tend to think of insuring their home against fire or their car against accidental damage.

We're primarily concerned with:

• Protecting you financially in the event of disability, a critical illness and the loss of independence due to the natural effects of aging
• Protecting your family's lifestyle in the event of your death

Contact a life and health insurance advisor who can help you determine the coverage most appropriate for your needs and your budget.
