F ounded in 1839 – 28 years before the

founding of modern Canada – Gore
Mutual Insurance is defined by its rich history . The insurer has borne witness to two world wars , having pledged $ 50,000 and $ 100,000 to support the Canadian war effort in WWI and WWII respectively . The Canadian insurance company has also seen the advent of automobiles , offering automobile insurance for the first time in its centennial year , and then went on to help the victims of the catastrophic Grand River Flood . Later , in 2015 , when new legislation offered the chance to demutualize , the firm decided against this , harking back to its long held desire to help communities in their times of need . Rooted in a tradition of courage and cooperation , Gore Mutual may be Canada ’ s oldest property and casualty ( P & C ) insurer but it isn ’ t bound by its historic legacy .
