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.

May is National Moving Month—and your insurance needs to move with you. 📦🏠

Three things people forget:

➡️ Coverage at your new address starts when you tell your insurer, not when you arrive.

➡️ Most policies cover belongings in transit for around 30–45 days—but scratches, dents, and breakage of fragile items typically aren't included.

➡️ A new postal code can mean new premiums—and new wildfire or flood considerations.

Cancelling your old policy a day too early? That gap can cost you.

Just bought a condo? The Strata Master Policy covers the building—but everything from the walls inward is on you. 🏢🔑

That includes your personal belongings, your unit's interior, and your share of a special assessment if a major loss hits the building. With BC strata deductibles now reaching over six figures, Common Elements Loss Assessment coverage is essential.

Other things worth reviewing: water damage limits, earthquake coverage, and scheduled items like bikes or jewellery.

Own or eyeing a condo in BC? Let's make sure your coverage actually fills the gap.

Renting out your home or vacation property on Airbnb or VRBO? 🏡✨ Whether you host guests for a weekend or all year round, your standard home insurance likely isn't enough to protect you.

Here's what specialized short-term rental insurance can cover:

🛡️ Liability Protection: Legal and medical costs if a guest is injured on your property.
💥 Guest-Caused Damage: Coverage for accidental damage, fires, and theft during a rental period.
💰 Loss of Rental Income: Replaces lost bookings if your property is out of commission for repairs.
🛋️ Contents for Rental Use: Protects furnishings, appliances, and décor used by guests.

⚠️ A common (and costly) mistake? Not telling your insurer you're hosting. Even occasional rentals can void your policy if undisclosed. And remember—platform protections like AirCover are only a secondary layer, not a replacement for real insurance.

📞 Hosting anywhere in BC? Our brokers help homeowners across the province find coverage tailored to how their property is actually used. Connect with us to make sure your income stream doesn't become a liability drain.

Seeing isn’t always believing anymore. 🤖 As AI technology advances, "Deepfakes"—highly realistic but fake video or audio—are being used by scammers to trick people into sharing sensitive data or sending money.

How to spot the signs of a Deepfake:

👁 Unnatural movement: Look for strange blinking patterns or jerky facial movements.
👂 Audio "glitches": Listen for robotic tones, unusual pauses, or a lack of natural breathing.
⚠️ The "Urgency" Trap: Scammers often use a familiar face or voice to create a fake emergency. If a request seems out of character, stop and verify.

While staying vigilant is your first line of defense, Cyber Insurance is your safety net. It can help protect you or your business from the financial fallout of social engineering and identity theft.
