History and Growth

It was to satisfy the need for personalized insurance service within their community that a few locals with an entrepreneurial spirit started Westland Insurance in 1980 in Langley, British Columbia. From that small, regional insurance brokerage has grown a national powerhouse: Westland. Years of strategic acquisitions and organic growth have seen the establishment of more than 190 Westland locations across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Nova Scotia.

This growth strategy has been fueled by its commitment to outstanding service and building long-term relationships with its clients. Westland achieves this expanded outreach through the acquisition of smaller, community-based brokerages of insurance.
