Pierre Arpin of Calgary wins 2018 Toyota RAV4 LE AWD in Select Sweepstakes


November 29, 2017   by Economical Insurance

CALGARY,  Nov. 29, 2017 /insPRESS/ — “It’s going to be great being able to jump in the car and head to the mountains without having to get a rental anymore,” said Pierre Arpin, Director & Chief Executive Officer, Contemporary Calgary. “Since we moved to Calgary from Australia this year and settled in the downtown core, we’ve gone without a car. Now we can explore the city and the wonders of the great outdoors at our leisure.”

Pierre Arpin is now the proud owner of a silver 2018 Toyota RAV4 LE AWD as a vehicle winner in the 2017 Select Sweepstakes, an annual campaign run by one of Canada’s leading providers of group car and home insurance — Economical Select. Along with their broker partners, Economical Select offers eligible group members an opportunity to win great prizes just for calling to get a quote on car or home insurance.[1]

A visual artist and art historian, Arpin returned to Canada in May 2016 after spending seven years in Australia as the Director of the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in Darwin, and General Manager, Collections and Exhibitions Management at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. Prior to that, he directed the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and the Art Gallery of Sudbury, as well as holding leadership positions at the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ottawa Art Gallery.

“We are so proud to be the broker of the Canadian Museums Association (CMA) group home and auto insurance program,” said Carol Buga, Assistant Vice-President, Private Client Services at Marsh Canada. “As a CMA member, who received a preferred rate quote through the program, Pierre’s name was picked as the lucky winner of the latest Select Sweepstakes draw for a new 2018 Toyota RAV4 — and we could not have been more pleased.”

“We are thrilled to give away our second car in the 2017 Select Sweepstakes campaign. This contest continues to be a great platform for us to support our broker partners with their marketing planning and promotional materials. It’s also an exciting way to attract and reward group car and home insurance customers by creating a chance for group members to win great prizes”, said David Fitzpatrick, Division Vice-President, Economical Select. “Entering is as easy as calling for a quote, but it gives group members the chance of a lifetime to drive away in a brand new car. It’s always an exciting time to watch as the winner receives the keys to their new vehicle.”
