After a busy summer of renovations, most homeowners are focused on enjoying the results, and that's totally understandable! πŸ› οΈπŸ‘

By sheer force of habit, I always ask people this question once their renovations are over: does your coverage reflect the home you have today, or the one you had last year? Trust me, it’s a small conversation that can make a big difference!

Feel free to reach out before, during, and after your renos. I'm not exactly handy, but I can definitely help make sure your home is properly covered! πŸ–οΈ

Students (and parents of students!) β€” moving for school this fall? πŸŽ’ Here's the thing most packing lists miss.

Between the laptop, textbooks, phone, and everything else that fills a dorm or first apartment, a student's belongings add up faster than most families realize. And here's the part that catches people off guard: a landlord's insurance covers the building β€” not what's inside your student's room.

That's where tenant insurance comes in. It helps replace belongings after fire, water damage, or theft, covers extra living costs if the place becomes unlivable, and includes liability protection too.

Parents β€” before move-in day, it's worth a quick call to find out whether your home policy extends to your student, and where the gaps are. Every situation is a little different, and we'll walk you through yours in plain language.

Community first. Always. πŸ’š

Earlier this month, our team had the honour of being part of the 2nd Annual Mel Anaka Tournament β€” a softball weekend unlike any
other, where players, families, volunteers, and sponsors came together to raise funds for cancer research and to support Mel's son, Kade.

Mel was a teacher, a teammate, and a friend to so many in Calgary's softball community for more than 20 years. Losing her left a hole in a lot of hearts β€” but that weekend showed exactly what she built: a village that shows up for each other, celebrates together, and takes care of its own.

A special thank you to our own Mary Bellamy, who was right in the middle of it all. We're so proud to support this community, and so grateful it lets us be part of moments like this.

For Mel. For Kade. Always. πŸ’š

If you knew Mel or were at the tournament, we'd love to hear your favourite memory in the comments.

Thank you, Tewodros, for these kind words about Bereket β€” welcoming a new client and making insurance actually make sense is exactly what he does best. πŸ’š

πŸ’š Thank you for your referrals!

It's one of the things we never take for granted: most of the families we work with found us because someone they trust told them about us. A sister. A coworker. A friend from church. That kind of trust is the greatest compliment our office can receive.

After 13 years in Kensington, our little family-owned team has grown to 14 people speaking 14 languages β€” and honestly, that happened one referral at a time. So to everyone who's ever said "you should call Anita's office" β€” thank you. We see you, and we're so grateful. πŸ™

And we promise: anyone you send our way gets the same care you did. No pressure, no jargon β€” just honest answers, in whichever language feels like home.

Know someone who could use a friendly insurance conversation? Home, auto, life, or business β€” give us a call at (587) 353-7500, or tag them below. πŸ’š

So tell us β€” how did *you* first hear about us? We'd love to know!

πŸ’š Protect who you love. It's really that simple.

Life insurance isn't about you β€” it's about the people who count on you. It helps cover everyday expenses, debts, and future goals for your loved ones if you're no longer there to support them.

Nobody understands that better than our Senior Account Manager Clara β€” life & P&C licensed, and a mom of two. It's one of those conversations everyone puts off, and one of the ones that matters most. No pressure, no jargon β€” Clara will be so happy to help.

Coverage varies by policy β€” reach out and we'll review your situation together.

πŸ’š Protect who you love.

This weekend we hit the road to Edmonton with the family β€” and somewhere on Highway 2 it clicked all over again: *this* is what it's all about. Life insurance isn't about you. It's about them β€” the people in your back seat, at your dinner table, counting on you.

One conversation is all it takes to put that protection in place. No pressure, no jargon β€” just a plan for the people you love.

And yes, that's Cody. He approves this message. πŸ•

πŸ”¨ Did you know? A finished basement or a renovation can change how much home coverage you need.

Here's the thing nobody tells you mid-reno: your home changed, but your policy didn't. That beautiful new basement suite, the kitchen upgrade, the deck β€” they all add value that your coverage should reflect.

The fix is easy: a quick policy review after any big project. Free, no obligation, takes a few minutes. Swipe to meet Matt β€” he's the friendly voice who'll walk you through it. πŸ’š
