It’s a bittersweet day for us, as after a 35 year career with Co-operators, Tom Farr is officially retiring. Tom has held various roles within the organization, including Nova Scotia Claims Supervisor, and on April 1, 2008, Tom took the helm as the primary advisor/owner of our Co-operators office as Tom Farr Insurance Services Ltd. We’ll still be business as usual during the transition to our new primary advisor, Jordan Holic.
Please join us in wishing Tom a happy retirement!

Ransomware attacks are expected to rise by up to 40% by 2026, according to a recent article covered by the Insurance Bureau of Canada. You might think your business is too small or too remote to be targeted. It’s not. Small and medium sized businesses are often the focus of cyber fraud.


So what can you do as a small business owner?

✔️ Train your team to spot phishing
✔️ Use multi-factor authentication
✔️ Back up critical data
✔️ Review your business insurance coverage to ensure you’re protected against cyber fraud

is about preparation, and you do not have to navigate it alone. We can help you assess your risks and make sure your business is prepared for whatever comes next. Ask me about Cyber Guard and Cyber Select coverage for your business.
