Forensic Investigations Canada acquires Oliver, Yaskiw & Associates

Forensic Investigations Canada (FIC), a division of SCM Insurance Services, has acquired the Winnipeg-based Oliver, Yaskiw & Associates Inc. (OYA).
OYA specializes in investigation and security consulting and services in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Northwest Ontario. It was also the first firm in Canada to use video surveillance, an FIC release says.
The acquisition adds to FIC’s existing national coverage, “providing its insurance corporate and government clients with access to a wide range of investigative services and litigation support,” FIC president Corey Smith said.
“This new partnership also expands FIC’s product offerings through OYA’s extensive experience in investigative support for labour disruptions and emergency site-service.”
Both OYA principals, David Yaskiw and Gordon Oliver, have backgrounds as insurance claims and corporate investigation professionals, the release adds.
Yaskiw and Oliver will continue to hold management positions within FIC’s operations.
