Our Origins

In 1920, a group of prairie grain companies - dissatisfied with the premium
being charged for fire insurance on their grain elevators - decided to
charter their own insurance company. They hoped this would pressure their
underwriters to reduce premiums. It didn’t work. But a strong partnership
had been established, a need had been identified - and Grain Insurance &
Guarantee was born.

This beginning became more than just a story we tell - it became the
foundation of our business as we continued to provide insurance products
and services with our clients’ best interests as our priority.
As a company, we’ve never lost sight of that. By combining sound
underwriting principles with an unwavering commitment to customer
service, the company has been profitable ever since our founding in 1920s -
proving to the industry that when you put your clients first, everyone wins.
Over time, we expanded our business serving customers in all provinces
and territories, through a world class broker network. Along the way, we
have maintained our reputation as an innovative insurance company with
an eye on the changing needs of Canadian businesses.
Today, more than 90 years after the company was founded, we are proud to
serve Canadian businesses from coast to coast. We are far from where we
started, and as we enter yet another defining period of growth, we chose a
name that would reflect who we have become - and where we are going.
We Are Wynward.
