Together with the entire Hubbard team John and Drew Hubbard are thrilled to let you know about the next chapter in our brokerage's growth.
We are merging our operations with Westland Insurance, Canada's leading independently owned insurance brokerage.
Westland and Hubbard are strikingly similar in our cultures, focus and core values, as well as both being 100% Canadian & family founded businesses.
This move is strategic on our part, not only for our client partners but also our entire team. Westland brings scale that greatly expands the 'tool box' available to serve our clients on a truly national and international level. We are thrilled to partner with, and become shareholders of Westland, a company so closely aligned with our own culture.
"We're extremely pleased to have found such fantastic partners in Hubbard Insurance Group," said Jamie Lyons, Westland's President and CEO. "We're excited to welcome this best-in-class brokerage to the Westland family."
We’re not going anywhere and there's also no change to the people you deal with at our office. Not surprisingly, one of our value propositions to Westland is the strength and knowledge of our entire team.
Amongst other benefits, we’ll see an expansion of our insurance company access to a national level and deeper, closer insurance company relationships, both of which will have a positive impact on our client deliverables.
There's more on this to come in future communications of course.
Thank you again for your continued confidence in us, it's not something we take lightly as we know you have a choice for your insurance needs.

About Us
Hubbard Insurance Brokers was founded in January 1987 by Dick Hubbard after having served some 35 years in the insurance brokerage business in Toronto and Montreal. He was joined by his son John in February 1988. John Hubbard has an extensive history in the insurance industry and has been at the helm of our Property and Casualty Division for over 26 years.
Our small, family run brokerage has matured over the years and through the addition of many employees, developed into a very diverse team of insurance professionals. In January 1995, Dick`s eldest son Drew joined as head of the Financial Services Division, using his experience in the health and wellness industry to provide our customers with advice on employee benefits and life insurance.
