BROKER OF YEAR FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA
Hatton Insurance Agency won 2019 Broker of Year for British Columbia. The team selected Cowichan District Hospital Foundation as the recipient of their award.
The current hospital facilities for the Cowichan Valley opened in 1967. In the decades since opening, the area population has grown significantly and demand for healthcare with it. In 2015, the Cowichan Valley Regional Hospital District (CVRHD) identified, purchased, and rezoned a site for the new hospital to properly accommodate current and future healthcare needs. Illustrating the community’s commitment to a new hospital, the Foundation allocated 100% of its 2015 annual appeal campaign funds to the new hospital fund in addition to contributing 20% of their annual funds each year.

BROKER OF YEAR FOR THE PRAIRIES
Lakeview Insurance Brokers Ltd. won 2019 Broker of Year for the Prairies. The team has chosen to gift their reward to Reese Ketler. Reese is a young hockey player who was paralyzed in an on–ice collision while playing a hockey game on December 19, 2019. Reese’s family started a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise money for medical support, mobility equipment, and home and vehicle modifications.
