  The Canadian Aboriginal Association Plan

    After years of experience in the employee benefit market primarily dealing with aboriginal organizations in Canada, I found that insurance and pension carriers weren't flexible enough to adequately meet the needs of Status, Inuit, Metis and Non Status employees working together in in a plan. In addition, underwriting smaller plans was extremely frustrating because of restrictive plan design and high cost.In 1995, the Canadian Aboriginal Association Plan (CAAP) was created, a true association employee plan with a twist. First the plan allowed all First Nation organizations, regardless of size, to belong. Second, no shares needed to be bought, no annual membership fee or additional administration fees needed to be paid. And third, each individual employer had the right to choose the benefits they wanted and can afford for their organization. CAAP is internationally trademarked and documentation produced is copy-written. CAAP is celebrating its 23rd year under the slogan "Services do Matter".

  London Life

  • Regina and Saskatoon

  • Sales Representative

    • Jan 1988 - Jan 1992
    • Regina and Saskatoon

    I joined London Life as a career agent in the General Sales Division (GSD) in the Regina Qu'appelle agency. I had the fortune of working a great management team and some of the best sales agents in the country. The Regina Qu'appelle consistently won the coveted "Stevenson Cup" for the top sales in the London Life company. It is my belief that the excellence in sales training and support that London Life provided allowed me to achieve all the top sales awards in the company and the industry. I parted ways because I felt that it was time to provide my clients with more products and services.
