What’s New: In Brief (February 04, 2010)

Cunningham Lindsey Canada has expanded its Ontario operation with the opening of a new office in Cornwall.
Diane Lefebvre will serve as branch manager. She was most recently an adjuster in CLC’s Ottawa location.
Lefebvre brings more than a decade of claims experience to the role.
“The Cornwall office is strategically located to provide rapid claims response to losses in Eastern Ontario,” said Lorri Frederick, a senior vice president and executive director at CLC.

The Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO) and the Dalrymple Insurance Brokers Limited donated 50 magenta fleece blankets to the Mennonite Central Committee in support of the Haiti earthquake relief effort.
“The catastrophe that has recently struck Haiti has touched the hearts of local insurance brokers and the community alike,” said Larry Brown, a principal at Dalrymple Insurance Brokers Ltd. “By donating these cozy blankets to the people of Haiti, we are demonstrating how committed insurance brokers are to the citizens of their community and in this case, the world.”
IBAO CEO Randy Carroll added: “The people of Haiti are in dire need if support, and we as insurance brokers are dedicated to assisting the efforts in any way we can.”
