Western Financial Group announced its acquisition of Orion Insurance Brokers Ltd. in Winnipeg on Sept. 7. Western, based in High River, Alberta, will add Orion’s Transcona office to its existing Winnipeg locations.

Founded in 1993, Orion was purchased in 2008 and joined the P.M.C. group of brokerages. Its Transcona office will now be under the Western Financial Group banner and will retain its current staff.

Western currently has about 380 employees in Winnipeg and expects to hire more for its expanding retail network and back office support teams. The company, a subsidiary of Desjardins Group, has more than 130 office locations and about 1500 employees.
