Acera Insurance has always proudly been 100% Canadian-owned and independent.
We have no foreign or insurance carrier ownership, making us unique within Canada’s insurance landscape. Here’s why that matters.

3. As a Canadian employer, we have first-hand knowledge to help other Canadian employers succeed.

4. We help our Canadian communities thrive.
Acera Insurance proudly lives and plays in the communities in which we operate.
One of the ways we live our value to “Put People First” is to strengthen the communities we call home. We do this by fundraising, sponsoring, donating to and volunteering for numerous national, provincial and local organizations that make a positive, lasting impact on Canadians.
5. Our Canadian ownership offers stability and economic benefits.
Acera Insurance is a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation. This means we provide stability to our clients, vendors and partners since we are not beholden to some foreign entity’s definition of success or business mandates.
Furthermore, being 100% Canadian-owned means our profits remain in Canada, benefiting our employees, communities and local economies.
Acera Insurance: Canadian-owned, employee-controlled
Acera Insurance is more than a Canadian-owned company. We are a Canadian-owned, employee-controlled company.
We welcome the majority of our employees to become owners in our private company. Currently, we proudly have more than 650 employee owners, encompassing each of our teams — from administration to executive leadership.
As employee owners, our team is empowered to make local decisions and are committed to supporting our Canadian clients in their long-term success.
Acera Insurance’s employee-ownership model also strengthens our commitment to building a strong Canadian brokerage dedicated to the insurance and risk mitigation needs of all Canadians.
We are proud to be Canadians providing expert solutions for Canadians.
