Anyone who has been following my Blog, is well aware that I have had a very large out of country coverage claim this spring.  My friend has been home for sometime now and has had 11 surgeries to date and is in a rehabilitation program.  His surgeries aren't even close to being done, but at least…

I would like to start this post by saying how humbled I am by the number of people who have come up to me recently and mentioned that they follow me and how much they enjoy my blogs.  In return, I would like to thank you for giving me one of your most precious commodities,…

The Genetic Non-Discrimination Act (GNDA) — received Royal Assent on May 4, 2017. It prevents employers, insurance companies and anyone else providing goods and services via a contract from asking people to undergo genetic testing or to disclose genetic test results.

Have I mentioned that I love what I do??? The reason I enjoy it so much is because of my amazing clients. I believe that my clients should see me a couple times a year, not just at renewal when we are discussing benefits and money.  This gives us time to discuss their lives and make sure…

Quite a few years back I was driving my Astro Mini Van, yes I drove an Astro Mini Van, and I was hit from behind when I was stopped at a red light.  The car that hit the van was a Honda Civic and it knocked my van out into the middle of the intersection.  She was dealing…

It doesn't happen very often that not only do I get a thank you but have such notoriety on a claim.  The story about my friend and fellow kiteboarder, that I purchased Out-of-Country coverage through Allianz Global Assistance, on the night before he had his accident, has seemed to have gotten around Kelowna. I am thankful…
