The year 2012 has been different to say the least, thus far.

Usually about now, Winnipeggers would be decked out in four layers and turning the temperature in our homes up to 23 degrees just to try to stay warm as we battled temperatures in to the negative 30s.

This year, however, we’re seeing temperatures flirting with that seemingly impossible + sign and are showing no signs of plummeting into the usual Febrrrrary temperatures (we hope!).

Of course, these conditions lead to a number of questions that could be floating in your mind right now, such as:

  • With all the ice building up from melting and freezing, am I liable if someone has an accident on my property?
  • I know we haven’t had much snowfall, but my house may still be at risk for flooding. Am I covered for it?
  • With the small snowfall we’ve decided to go south of the border for our cross-country ski weekend this year. Am I covered in Colorado?

Here’s the good news – answers to all of your questions are just a phone call or mouse click away.

All you have to do is call one of our branches in Winnipeg – 339-2048 or 334-4373 – or click the Live Chat button at the top of this page to be connected to a Team Insurance expert.

And if an emergency ever comes up, remember that we have a 24-hour help line – 339-2048.

Soon, spring will be here, so enjoy the rest of the winter. We look forward to speaking with you soon.

While the 2011-2012 winter has been unseasonably warm (on most days at least), the headline that is been predominant in Winnipeg has instead been focused on garage and house fires.

It is unfortunate but it seems like a week doesn’t go buy that a lead story on the evening news revolves around a fire either for an attached or detached garage, house or appartment. Even today, on one of the coldest days we’ve had so far, a fire on Magnus Ave. engulfed a home.

Naturally, the most important thing is to ensure that, in the event of a fire on your property, your family gets out safe. Having a family escape plan is always essential, but it’s more important than ever to be on the ready should an emergency arise.

It’s also important that you know that you have proper insurance in case of fire or smoke damage. If you are even slightly unsure of what you are covered for or which items in your home are covered by your current plan, please call us at (204) 339-2048, (204) 334-4373 or fill out our contact form here.

As much as we may try to deny it, winter is very much on its way and for many Winnipeggers, it’s time for snowmobiling.

Before you hit the trails, however, you need to purchase your new SnoPass.

Your SnoPass, which can be purchased at Team Insurance Brokers, enables you to ride snowtrails across Manitoba. Your SnoPass package includes both your license as well as the sticker to be affixed to your snowmobile. You will also get a map of all of Manitoba’s trails, four issues of SnoPass West and special offers and discounts available at participating retailers.

Additionally, for those who are looking to bit a travelling this winter, your SnoPass entitles you to ride trails in Saskatchewan.

Your SnoPass, however, does much more than just provide you with snowmobiling opportunities. It also provides necessary funding for SnoMan member clubs, who maintain all of Manitoba’s trails (more than 12,000 km total!).

SnoPasses can either be purchased either as 7-day passes for $60.50 or $125.00 for an annual pass. You can also buy vouchers for annual passes for $125 as gifts for the snowmobiling enthusiast in your life.

To purchase your SnoPass, visit one of Team Insurance Broker’s two locations:

  • McIvor Mall – 1795 Henderson Hwy
    Monday thru Friday 8:30 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
  • Rivergrove Shopping Mall – 2605 Main Street
    Monday thru Friday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 2:00 pm

Thank you for your business.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Garry J.R. Fast, CAIB, CRM
