Based in British Columbia for more than 150 years, Waypoint is a leading insurance and risk management brokerage dedicated to providing expert advice and tailored solutions to businesses in the communities it serves across Canada.
Waypoint has more than 30 locations across Vancouver Island and the lower mainland. In the spirit of Reconciliation, Waypoint acknowledges that its Head Office is situated on the unceded traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation, the traditional keepers of the land.
Waypoint’s extensive and diverse coverage falls under the umbrellas of personal insurance (i.e., home, condo, tenant, travel and life), business insurance (i.e., small business, entrepreneurs; fishing resorts/ lodges; marinas and docks; marine and inland cargo; marine liabilities and marine trades; and of course, vessels), and auto insurance (i.e., private, fleet, motorcycle and ICBC).
Additionally, their dedicated risk advisors collaborate closely with clients, investing time and expertise to understand each client’s unique risk landscape — no matter how complex — empowering them with insights into the risk transfer process and providing a tailored package of solutions to boost their business profitability.
Since 2019, Waypoint has been a member of Navacord, Canada’s third-largest commercial insurance brokerage, which allows them to leverage national strength in the Canadian marketplace to cater to the diverse needs of clientele consistently.
“We invest our time and expertise to understand each client’s unique risk landscape, no matter how complex, which empowers them with insights into the risk transfer process and provides a tailored package of solutions that boosts their business profitability,” says Tony Hayes, CEO, Waypoint, “And, as a Navacord Broker Partner, we leverage exclusive national relationships, breadth of expertise, services, and products to manage clients’ rapidly-changing risks.”
Whether it’s through diverse sponsorships, scholarships or community involvement, Waypoint stands as a beacon of community leadership, commitment, and trust. For example, because Waypoint recognizes the power of education and its potential to shape futures, The Waypoint Insurance Indigenous Scholarship was established in 2021 to support Indigenous people in pursuing post secondary education by reducing financial barriers.
As Dawn Froats, Director of Brand, says, “Waypoint is not just an insurance provider; we are a community-driven partner dedicated to offering comprehensive insurance solutions while actively giving back to our communities.”
