No matter the length of your trip, travel insurance is a must. A two-day trip can still come with a five-figure medical bill.

Travel insurance is worth considering for weekend getaways, cross-border trips, and travel within Canada. Depending on the policy, coverage may help with emergency medical care, cancellations, interruptions, baggage issues, and unexpected delays.

Before leaving, check:

✓ Your coverage limits
✓ Policy exclusions
✓ Existing medical-condition requirements
✓ The activities planned for your trip

When did you last check your hot water tank? Taking a minute to look around your hot water tank can help prevent unexpected problems before it’s too late.

Possible warning signs include:

💧 Water around the tank or valves
🟠 Rust-coloured water
🔊 Banging or popping sounds
🌡️ Inconsistent water temperature
📅 A tank approaching 10 years old

Most hot water tanks last approximately 10 to 15 years, but problems can appear sooner. Regular checks and professional inspections may help prevent leaks and unexpected water damage.

Your business may have changed since your insurance policy was written.

New equipment, more employees, renovations, added services, or a different location can all affect your coverage needs. Depending on the business, coverage may include property, liability, business interruption, cyber, or professional liability insurance.

A regular review can help identify gaps before a loss occurs.

Cyberattacks are not limited to large corporations. Small and mid-sized businesses can also face ransomware, data breaches, business email compromise, and costly downtime. 🔐

Cyber insurance may help with recovery expenses and certain claims after a covered incident. It works alongside practical safeguards such as multifactor authentication, regular backups, software updates, and employee training.

WVINS can help you review your digital exposure and explore coverage suited to the way your business operates.

✈️ Heading Somewhere This Summer? Your MSP Card Won't Follow You.

Summer trips are booking up — but many British Columbians don't realize their provincial health plan covers little to none of a medical emergency outside the province. One ER visit abroad can run into the thousands. Before you go, line up:

➖ Emergency medical — the coverage MSP won't provide abroad
➖ Trip cancellation & interruption — recover non-refundable costs
➖ Lost, stolen or delayed baggage — including a delay benefit after 8+ hours

💡 Tip: Even travel within Canada can leave you out of pocket — other provinces may not reimburse at BC rates.

Working Ventures Insurance arranges travel coverage for trips anywhere, from anywhere in BC. 📞 1-800-663-4200

🏠 7 Tenant Insurance Myths That Could Cost You Thousands

Renting in BC? Your landlord's policy covers their building — not your belongings, and definitely not your liability. A few myths worth busting 👇

➖ "My landlord covers me." → Only the structure, never your stuff.
➖ "I don't own enough to insure." → Most renters have $25K–$40K in belongings.
➖ "Liability is just broken windows." → Flood the unit below and you could owe $100K+.
➖ "My roommate's policy covers me." → Not unless your name is on it.

Coverage often runs $20–$35/month. Working Ventures' brokers insure renters across BC. 📞 1-800-663-4200

🏞️ Is Your Cabin Actually Covered — Or Just Assumed to Be?

That lakeside retreat or backcountry getaway usually isn't protected by your primary home policy — and the gaps get expensive. What catches recreational property owners off guard:

➖ Seasonal & secondary properties typically need their own policy
➖ Vacant stretches change how water, freezing & theft claims are handled
➖ Wildfire exposure can affect premiums, deductibles & eligibility
➖ Renting it on Airbnb/VRBO? It has to be disclosed
➖ Coverage is based on rebuilding cost — not resale value

Own a cabin anywhere in BC? Working Ventures' brokers will help you find the gaps before they find you. 📞 1-800-663-4200

Wildfire season in BC isn't an "if"—it's a "when." 🔥

And the way wildfires are insured today looks nothing like it did five years ago. Premiums are climbing in fire-prone zones, deductibles for wildfire claims can be higher, and exclusions kick in when active fires are nearby. Some insurers now require FireSmart standards just for eligibility.

Here's the catch most homeowners learn too late: once an evacuation alert is issued, insurers typically pause new policies and changes.

A free policy review now beats an unfortunate surprise this summer. Our Kelowna brokers work with homeowners across BC.
