Organization and Aims
Insurance Institutes are the educational
bodies for the property and casualty
business.
The first Institute was started in Toronto
in 1899. Others followed in Montreal,
Winnipeg, and Vancouver. Local Institutes
are now established in all provinces.
In 1952, all Institutes joined in association
with The Insurance Institute of Canada to
establish a uniform standard of insurance
education and examinations.
The Institute sets the syllabus of studies,
produces the appropriate Canadian texts,
conducts distance-learning courses, holds
national examinations, and elects graduates.
The Institute sponsors a competition for
original essays, works of research, papers,
or articles on subjects related to property
and casualty insurance.
supervise arrangements for holding
the examinations; maintain libraries of
insurance textbooks available on loan to
members; support graduates’ societies
and public speaking clubs; promote
seminars, workshops, and research
projects to further efficiency and
progress in general insurance.
Local Institutes provide local facilities
to students; arrange classroom
instruction and study groups;

Chair’s Address to the
62nd Annual General Meeting
October 2015
Neil Morrison, BA (Hons)
It is great to be here and it has been a
great year for the Institute and it has
been a great 3 years to have had a seat
on the Institute’s Executive Committee.
The demand for
web-based learning
as a preferred
learning style is
being met with a
broad offering of
online options both
at the local and
national levels.
I confess to have been somewhat
reluctant to engage with the Institute
when Maurice Tulloch asked that I insert
myself into the executive rotation to Chair
– not because I wasn’t fully supportive of
the Institute (because I do strongly believe
that well-educated, knowledgeable,
credentialed professionals are essential to
the success of any organization – and that
learning and knowledge is an ongoing
investment in oneself and in one’s career)
but rather my reluctance was more about
how I might contribute something to the
Institute’s benefit. And in hindsight…
I was probably right!
The fact is, I feel I have personally
benefitted more from participating
with other senior professionals in the
industry – and certainly with Peter and
his colleagues at the Institute – than
I fear I have been able to impart – on
what is a very well run organization who
without exception provides world-class
stewardship over top notch continuing
education and learning in our industry.
And if you will permit me, I would like
to highlight some of the very full and
active agenda items the institute has
prioritized as it continues to transform
the way it advances the delivery of
10 The Insurance Institute of Canada
professional development to our industry.
I’ll start with two cornerstones: Financial
and I.T.
Most members probably do not
appreciate that the Institute has over
$18 million in assets and a $12 million
annual budget. Where once upon a time
funding for the Institute’s initiatives came
from voluntary “subscription” contributions
from the industry’s insurers (and while
that financial commitment remains very
important) the institute has aggressively
moved towards a user-pay model and has
been able to reduce “subscriptions” by
20% - about $50,000 for your average
$2 billion insurer – and counting!
As to technology, it is a cornerstone
brick to meeting or exceeding
customers’ every changing demands
and expectations (to keeping relevant
and abreast of needs) especially around
how and in what format members want
to consume our products – and for the
institute that has manifested itself in the
form of CBE or “computer-based-exams”.
The CBE platform will permit students
to write more than 40 different exams
in either of Canada’s national languages
in three week exam windows three
times per year. Exam markers will receive
and return their grading assignments
electronically – which reduces the
time to have exams marked (down to a
couple of days rather than weeks) and
eliminates the costs and risks associated
Chair’s Address to the 62nd Annual General Meeting - October 2015
Continued
with physically transporting paper exams
across the country among exam centres,
markers and head office. Leadership
over this game changing initative rests
with Ted Hellyer, our VP Programs; our
Senior Director, Examinations & Registrar,
Neil Toffick; and of course Anthony
Vanniasinkam, Director of I.T. who has
done an exemplary job getting this
project pulled together on time and on
budget – perhaps the only I.T. driven
initiative I have ever witnessed to do that
– well done!
Also on the technology front and
exploiting our ever exponential usage
of hand-held PDA devices – especially
among our younger members – we
have launched a portal for hand-held
devices. The portal allows immediate
access to on-line transactions with
the institute. An insurance dictionary
App – available to members and nonmembers has been introduced – as
well as the ability to purchase practice
questions for principles and practices
students – all at your fingertips! Again
Anthony, thank you for your leadership.
The demand for web-based learning
as a preferred learning style is being
met with a broad offering of online
options both at the local and national
levels. Gamification adds a dynamic
experience to the way our students
engage with our courses. CE credits
for brokers, in both languages, will be
delivered in this fashion. Your institute
is setting a pace in the adoption of
tools and methods that are ahead of
many other service industries.
As to the Institutes products and services,
the Institute has identified and reached
out to segments of the industry that
have not traditionally been served.
New entrants to the industry at the
board and senior management level
can benefit from two dual-purpose
offerings titled Fundamentals of Insurance.
The added benefit for the Institute is an
enhanced awareness of our brand at the
executive levels in our industry.
Also, a new partnership with the risk
management societies in Canada
and the United States, along with the
American institutes means the Institute
can accredit the CRM designation
directly to our membership.
CIP courses develop technical skills
specific to our industry. Once achieved,
we encourage students to continue
towards an FCIP designation. The path
toward FCIP typically entailed an
undergraduate degree which was
problematic for students wishing to
add leadership skills to their learning
ambitions if they entered the industry
without that requisite. In order to assist
this universe of our membership who
wish to continue with their learning
development, the Institute has
introduced a new CIP (Advanced)
stream which consists of 4 courses
(two of which are open to all institute
members: Business Foundations for
Insurance Professionals & Critical
Thinking for Insurance Professionals)
which once completed, satisfies the
university degree requirement for
enrolling in the fellowship program.
Ted Hellyer has been instrumental
here and I can report the demand has
been double initially forecasted in the
most recent fall enrollment – forcing
the Institute to defer additional
students into the next term.
As part of the Institute’s ambition to
stake its rightful claim as the industry’s
premier thought leader and education
provider – we published a demographic
study in 2007 specific to the P&C industry
– and with its success we built on and
added to that research over the following
number of years. This past year we
moved off the human capital question
to address a thought provoking study
on the emergence of cyber risk and its
implications for the insurance industry.
Encouraged by the response to that study,
we have commissioned a new research
paper examining the technical innovation
on autonomous vehicles and how they
may impact our business. Margaret Parent’s
leadership has been very valuable on this
initiative, thank you Margaret.
With respect to other industry organizations
and spheres of influence, the Institute has
reached out to enhance relationships with
them with a view to collaborate on areas
of mutual interest and avoid duplication of
efforts and wasted efficiencies. To those
ends, we have partnered with IBC on a
cross country series of seminars on the
topic of fraud and our CEO has recently
joined the CIAA National Insurance
Industry Advisory Board.
Similarly, we have reached out to the
provincial broker associations and
met with IBAC’s executive director
and president with the ambition of
enhancing relationships and building
bridges. Specifically, there seems to
be an obvious collaboration opportunity
on the content, delivery, and examination
of CAIB courses which as a broker
is acute to me – while I sense that
acknowledgement from the IBAC
leadership, I fear there is a little more
work to do at the Provincial level.
As to what is in the Institute’s pipeline,
the Career Connections team continues
to attract, engage and facilitate the
pursuit of great careers in the insurance
industry through their work in secondary
and post-secondary schools – and
increasingly, predictably, through the use
of social media.
For existing industry and Institute
members, the next initiative is to develop
an industry road map that members can
use to expose, navigate and expand their
careers towards rewarding options.
For CIP graduates, the CIP society’s webbased mentorship program is seeing
strong pick up both from those of our
colleagues seeking advice and guidance
2014 – 2015 Annual Report 11
Chair’s Address to the 62nd Annual General Meeting - October 2015
Continued
and also from employers who see the
initiative as a vehicle to transfer knowledge
from a retiring baby-boom demographic
to our next leaders. Thank you again,
Margaret Parent for championing this
very worth while initiative.
And – If I am on the retirement theme,
I am honored to have been able to
engage with and learn from Mr. Ted
Hellyer, FCIP, CRM, who will be retiring
from the Institute following this AGM.
Ted has been our Vice-President,
Programs and has played a key
leadership role at the Institute in
a variety of capacities. We owe Ted a
great many thank yous for all that he
has contributed to the Institute and
we wish him a long, healthy, and
happy retirement. Thank you Ted!
At the same time, we are pleased to
welcome Lisa Boniface, MBA, B.Ed.,
into the VP Programs role on November
1st succeeding Ted in that capacity.
Lisa joined the Institute approximately
one year ago coming from her role
at McMaster University as the acting
director for the school of continuing
studies. We wish Lisa every success as
she steps into these new responsibilities.
All Institute colleagues play a key role
bringing a plan into reality. Peter Hohman
has attracted and retained the best of
the best and under his leadership our
Institute executes on its mandate to the
highest standards. I have mentioned
a few of the Institute’s colleagues in
my remarks and I would also like to
12 The Insurance Institute of Canada
thank Nora Gubins, Director of Business
Development & Communications who
led much of the work to preach the IIC
message to the industry on all these
initiatives. Also, Peter’s Operations team
has done a terrific job working with
the local Institutes – Mike Divjak, VP
Operations, Dawna Matton, Sr. Director
for Ontario and Margaret Wasserman,
Director, Atlantic and Western Operations
– Thank you all and to your teams also.
I am grateful for the wonderful
opportunity to serve the Institute –
I had the honor of traveling across
the country with Peter attending
convocations and shaking thousands
of happy, proud, new graduate hands
– Bob Tisdale, who succeeds me in
this role – I have enjoyed serving with
you – I wish you the very best and I
know you will get as much out of this
wonderful experience as I have.
Perhaps most importantly, the Institute
actually works because of the volunteers
– our committee and council members,
instructors and tutors, seminar leaders,
exam markers – their selfless and tireless
efforts are appreciated and of much
value, thank you.
Congratulations and thank you for
your leadership.
Effective leadership is essential to the
success of any enterprise, big or small,
for profit or not – and at the Institute
we are fortunate to have a strong
board of governors and an insightful
and challenging Executive Committee
who ensure the Institute is responding
to the needs and expectations of its
stakeholders in a pro-active, effective
and fiscally responsible fashion. I think
we have succeeded so far in that and
to those ends I want to thank Peter
Hohman, Silvy Wright, Karen Barkley,
Bob Tisdale and Jean-François Blais for
your time, energy and commitment.
I had the recurring feeling that after
every Executive meeting together –
I was left better off for the benefit and
privilege of interacting with you all.
Sincerely,
Neil Morrison, BA (Hons)

Chair, Academic Council
Demand for virtual
courses continues
to grow. A total of
3,476 students took
virtual classes in the
2014-2015 academic
year, an increase of
5% over last year.
211 virtual classes
were offered during
the same period,
an increase of 17%
over the prior year.
In the interest of keeping the Institutes
products and services vital and responsive
to industry needs, the Academic Council
enthusiastically endorsed and approved
the ongoing projects and the new
initiatives being introduced.
CHARTERED INSURANCE
PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM
The C12 Insurance on Property
(Common Law) current text edition is
2013. The content has been submitted
by SMEs for the new textbook and the
editorial process has begun. We have
determined that there will be one text
that will serve Quebec and the common
law provinces. The new text will focus
primarily on personal lines of property
insurance and will include an introduction
to commercial lines. The tentative
publishing date for the English text
is fall 2016 with the French version
published the following term.
The C14 Automobile Insurance—Part 1
(Atlantic) current text edition is 2014. An
addendum will be delivered in October
2015 to coincide with the date the
regime change in PEI will take effect.
The new edition will be published in
February 2016, which will incorporate
the October 2015 Addendum as well
as revisions to content in Study 3: No
Fault Concepts and Study 5: Third Party
Liability, to reflect adoption of DCPD in
PEI. The French text will be published in
December 2015.
The C32 Bodily Injury Claims current text
edition is 2005. A major revision is under
way and the tentative publishing date is
late 2016.
The Loss Prevention Series: C36
Building Construction, Fire Hazards,
and Basic Hazards; C37 Special Hazards
and Processes; and C38 Liability Loss
Prevention, utilize the 2012 SCM Risk
Management Services texts. A project is
under way to write our own materials to
replace these third party textbooks.
A major revision has been completed of
the C39 Fraud Awareness and Prevention
text and was published in July 2015.
The new curriculum includes the
application of new technologies and
CANATICS. The text was written using a
new format that moves us toward CMS
implementation. One of the features is
a case study which explores an event
cited in the courts, exploring ethical
and other issues that an insurance
professional would need to consider
when reviewing a file.
The C48 Automobile Insurance—Part
2 current text edition is 2003. A course
revision is under way and the publishing
date for the English version is scheduled
for November 2015 with the French
version published in March 2016.
The C66 Financial Service Essentials
Part 1 current text edition is 2003.
2014 – 2015 Annual Report 13
Academic Council Report
Continued
This textbook is in the final stages of a
revision with publishing of the English
version in September 2015 and the
French version in the fall of 2015.
The new Marine Series: C57 Cargo and
Goods in Transit Insurances; C58 Marine
Hull and Associated Liabilities—Part 1;
and C59 Marine Hull and Associated
Liabilities—Part 2 is now complete and
replaces C53, C54 and C55. The series uses
Chartered Insurance Institute textbooks
with Canadian Commentaries developed
by IIC.
We continue to research all aspects
of an effective Content Management
Strategy (CMS). The research points
to an opportunity to develop CIP
textbooks in a way that will allow us
to manage content more effectively
and be able to reuse content. We also
anticipate this new model will improve
the quality of Institute education
materials, which could lead to
improved outcomes for students.
We have completed an eBooks proof
of concept to convert a study to ePUB
format. To help inform future direction
and strategy, we have included related
questions in a recent survey of members
to determine interest in eBooks and
specific formats preferred by students.
The mobile app was launched in
November 2014 and included the
dictionary of terms as a free resource.
In July 2015 we launched Phase II, which
includes packages of multiple-choice
questions for C11, sold for a nominal fee.
Promotion of the app will roll out over the
fall 2015, leading up to the December
2015 exam session. The purpose of the
project is to test student interest in
using mobile technologies.
There continues to be strong interest
in and positive feedback about the
Instructor Certification Program. It is
now past the development phase and
into normal operations.

combined, registrations were down
3.3% (623 students) over the prior year.
The Computer-based Examinations (CBE)
project is proceeding on schedule and
within budget, and continues to advance
along all fronts. Key components of the
project being developed and tested
include: exams creation (database;
forms); exams delivery (software); exams
distribution (centres; proctors); exams
marking and grades calculation; and IT
integration (Yardstick; Aptify; Website).
The timeline for the implementation of
computer-based examinations is a twoyear development period followed by
a two-year roll-out period. The roll out
period begins this coming December
2015 with the first course, C40 Business
Interruption Insurance. This course
will be followed by two courses in
April 2016: C45 Surety Bonds and C72
Introduction to Risk Management and
Commercial Lines Insurance. In July
2016, three courses will be offered
with CBE format: C66 Financial Service
Essentials – Part 1, C112 Practical Issues
in Claims Management and C120
Underwriting Essentials. The full
roll-out schedule over the two-year
transition period is available on
the Institute website.
We are continuing to develop the
foundation of the computer-based
examinations project, an examination
questions database, in conjunction
with our translation team, on a courseby-course basis. When completed,
there will nonetheless be an ongoing
requirement for questions creation to
maintain and refresh the database to
sustain all courses.
The course-by-course development
approach enables proofs of concept to
be run to test the functionality of the
software systems and key elements
of the project, such as the student,
proctor and marker experience, the
equipment and site set-up, and the
delivery of the exams. Ten proofs of
concept have been held to-date in
various centres across the country,
including Montreal using French
keyboards and at a corporate exam
centre, Train Canada.
Extensive quality assurance testing
is being done to ensure each aspect
created is developed as specified
and user acceptance testing is
being undertaken to ensure the
various elements function in the
manner intended.
Exam centres will include Institute
locations, corporate training centre
locations, employer locations, colleges
and universities and other sites. The
physical and electronic requirements
of the sites are being prepared.
The CBE pilot was held for course C66
Financial Service Essentials – Part 1, July
14-24 2015. July 14, 2015 was an historic
date for the Insurance Institute: it was the
first time final exams were offered in
a computer-based format where the
marks were applied towards student’s
course grades. On that day 21 students
wrote computer-based examinations,
and 35 students overall wrote the pilot
computer-based exams. The exams
were held on five dates in eleven exam

Continued
centres, covering 14 sittings. Grades
for students who wrote the computerbased examinations were released
approximately two weeks from the date
the first exam was written, fulfilling the
Institute objective of earlier grades results.
The CBE pilot was successful by all standards.
No major issues arose and the several
minor items which surfaced were quickly
and easily resolved and will be addressed
prior to the roll-out in December 2015.
A survey was sent to the pilot students
for feedback on their experience. The
majority of students strongly agreed
they felt prepared to use the computerbased examination interface after practicing
on the tutorial. The majority of students
also strongly agreed that the computerbased examination interface was easy
to navigate and overall, most students
felt the experience with the computerbased examination process was good.
Following proofs of concept, students
cited the benefits of speed, efficiency,
comfort and the use of special features
such as bookmarking questions for
further review.
A comprehensive communications plan
and timeline to introduce computer-based
examinations to the industry is in place and
continues to be updated. Meetings have
been held and presentations made to
key stakeholders. Articles in the national
and local Institute newsletters inform
the industry, our members and students
of the introduction of computer-based
examinations and the roll-out schedule.
A Web site page devoted to computerbased examinations introduces students
to the change and outlines the benefits
of the new examination format. The full
course roll-out schedule is available on
the site, as is a link to the CBE tutorial.
The tutorial walks students through the
icons and functionality they will see and
use during the examination.
Students who have participated in
the proofs of concept have been
enthusiastic about the experience
and have permitted the use of their
endorsements in information materials
being developed. A CBE toolkit, providing
information and answers to frequently
asked questions, was developed and
distributed to local Institute managers,
instructors and proctors. A video being
developed, promoting the benefits of
CBE, will feature some of the students
who participated in the pilot.
During the December 2014 examination
session, a student had a cell phone sitting
on the table in front of them. In addition,
during the exam, the student was observed
by several proctors looking repeatedly
inside their hoody. When approached
by several proctors, the student was found
to be in possession of another cell phone
inside their clothing. The student’s
examination was disqualified and the
student was suspended for nine consecutive
examination sessions (three years).
During the April 2015 examination session,
a student had a cell phone sitting on their
chair between their legs. The proctors
were alerted by another student leaving
the exam centre. The student’s examination
was disqualified and the student was
suspended for nine consecutive
examination sessions (three years).
During the July 2015 examination session,
a student had a cell phone sitting on the
table under their papers. Upon inspection,
the screen on the cell phone displayed
study notes related to the course material
of the exam they were writing. The
student’s examination was disqualified
and the student was suspended for nine
consecutive examination sessions
(three years).
GENERAL INSURANCE ESSENTIALS
December 2014 had an increase of 40%
in the registration numbers from the
previous year, April 2015 had an increase
of 4% and July 2015 registrations
decreased 24%. For the three exam
sessions, total registrations were up
11% from the previous year.
A Curriculum Advisory Committee
was established in 2014 to review the
content of the GIE courses. New course
outlines were developed and re-writes
of these materials will take place over
the next 18 to 20 months.
LICENSING
This past year, there has been a great
deal of activity across the country with
respect to curriculum for licensing and
leveraging Insurance Institute materials
and courses as equivalencies or to prepare
people to write provincial exams.
In June 2015, the Institute responded
to a request from the Alberta Insurance
Council to review Institute courses as
equivalencies for levels 1, 2 and 3 broker
licensing. We are awaiting the outcome
of this process.
The Institute received notice from the
Insurance Council of Manitoba that
they will now accept Institute courses
as equivalencies for levels 1 and 2
broker licensing. The next step is to
develop an exam for level 1 that can
be offered on demand.
The Insurance Council of Saskatchewan
(ICS) has developed new curriculum
for licensing. The Institute was invited to
comment on the draft for level 1 licensing,
which was done in July 2015. We are
waiting to hear the final outcomes of the
changes to the level 1 curriculum as well
as the impact on course equivalencies.
ICS has also drafted new curriculum
for levels 2 and 3 licensing. We are
waiting to see these documents and
hopefully will have the opportunity
to provide comment.
The Executive Director of the ICS
is also the chairperson of Canadian
Insurance Services Regulatory
Organizations (CISRO). We have heard
that other provinces may adopt the
new curriculum that Saskatchewan
has developed. If so, this presents
an opportunity to align the new GIE

materials with this curriculum and
ultimately provide better preparation

be used in place of two CIP electives.
The program will be delivered online,
in a facilitated, asynchronous model.
Once the program is established and
where demand exists, they can also
be delivered in-class through the local
institutes.
The new harmonization structure for
LLQP, including the change to uniform
curriculum, is scheduled to go into effect
in January 2016. The Institute is continuing
to assess the value in continuing to be a
provider and will be finalizing a decision in
the next several months.
The first course launched in September
2015 in English and will launch in French
in January 2016. The second and third
courses will follow each term until the
program is fully launched. As with
Advanced CIP, registrations have
exceeded expectations and capacity.
Registrations for September were
capped at 85 and we already have more
than 50 people registered for January.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS
The suite of Management Development
courses includes:
The new four course Advanced CIP
Certificate Program is positioned as the
next step to the CIP program and a bridge
to the FCIP program. Learners will develop
business and finance acumen, as well as
critical thinking and communication skills.
The courses, delivered online, in a facilitated,
asynchronous model, include: A300 Critical
Thinking for Insurance Professionals;
A310 Business Foundations for Insurance
Professionals; C112, C122 or C132; plus one
CIP elective.
• Essential Management Skills (3 Days)
• Think on Your Feet (2 Days)
• Attracting and Retaining a MultiGenerational Workforce (1 Day)
• Building Better Work Relationships (1 Day)
A300 and A310 are open to all Institute
members, not only those pursuing
the certificate. A300 English launched
in September 2015 and will launch in
French in January 2016. A310 will
launch in English in January 2016.
Registrations for September have
exceeded expectations and capacity.
Registrations were capped at 75 and
January 2016 registration was opened.
The Institute has been approved to
offer the three courses that qualify
for the Canadian Risk Management
(CRM) designation. These will form
the Institute’s new Risk Management
Certificate Program. If all three courses
are completed through IIC, they may

We have delivered these four courses
to over 1500 participants since 2010.
In 2014, through a combination of inhouse and public offerings, 15 courses
were offered to 233 participants. In 2015,
three courses were delivered, including
one offering of Essential Management
Skills (English) in Montreal. A full schedule
is planned for fall 2015.
The P&C Insurance: Essentials for Board
Members and Directors one-day course
was created to provide general education
on p&c insurance for people coming into
Board or executive level roles, who are new
to the industry. To-date, we have delivered
four custom courses and one public course.
We continue to develop leads for custom
courses and will offer another public course
when demand exists. The program has
received very positive feedback and seems
to be gaining awareness.
In May 2015, the Executive Committee
approved a proposal for a project to
develop a suite of eLearning courses,
designed for licensed insurance
professionals (brokers, agents and
adjusters), to fulfill their annual
continuing education requirements.
We are partnering with Yardstick (the
company that is providing the CBE
platform) to develop high end courses
(pedagogically and using contemporary
learning technologies). Courses will
be one hour long and delivered on
demand and online. The first course
will be piloted in January 2016 and ten
courses will be developed by June 2016.
The objective is to sell subscriptions,
so that people have access to a suite of
courses, for a defined period of time.
We will continue to add and update
courses, including delivery in French.
FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM ORIGINAL TRACK
There are 2,526 students registered in
the original track Fellowship program.
The number of graduates to-date is 160,
up 4% from the prior year.
The number of Fellowship students
enrolled in at least one FCIP course from
mid-October 2014 to mid-October 2015
is 288, down 29% from the prior year.
To ensure all students in the Original
Track FCIP Program are aware of the
pending completion deadline in sufficient
time to complete their courses in order
to graduate, the following message is
sent to all students annually in the fall:
Please note the following two deadlines
for completion of the original track FCIP
program:
• All ten courses required for graduation
must be completed no later than
December 31, 2017.
• All course registrations and grade
results must be received at the
Insurance Institute no later than
April 30, 2018.
• These deadlines are final. Students are
strongly advised to plan to complete

all requirements well ahead of these
deadlines, to allow for contingencies.
FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM –
CURRENT
Admission and Registration
Since program admission first opened
on June 1, 2010, a total of 471 candidates
have been granted admission to the
new program. Some have chosen to
defer the start of their first course.
For the fall 2015 semester, 147 candidates
are registered in the six FCIP courses.
Graduates
The second cohort of 26 candidates
completed the new FCIP program in
spring 2015 and will be recognized at
local convocation ceremonies through
fall 2015 and winter 2016.
The 34 candidates who are beginning
the F560 capstone course this
September are the third cohort to
complete the entire program and
include representation from nine
institutes and chapters.
Feedback and Enhancements
After each term, candidates are invited
to complete an online survey about
their experience in the course. As of
April 2015, 76% of those respondents
had rated their course as either excellent
or good.
All candidate feedback helps to shape
course updates and enhancements,
such as updating selected readings,
changing the weighting or focus
of certain assignments, shifting the
discussion focus in some courses
and building in additional feedback
on discussion contributions, adjusting
grading rubrics for program-wide
consistency and for F560, revising
materials and processes in response
to suggestions from evaluators
and candidates.
Program Entry
The new Advanced CIP qualification,
launched in September 2015, will allow
us to address FCIP feedback about
program entry and the challenges of
advanced business studies. Three of
the four courses in the Advanced CIP
are specifically designed to foster the
business awareness and critical thinking
skills that are needed both for FCIP
studies and for responsible business roles.
For Institute members who do not hold
undergraduate degrees, completion
of the Advanced CIP plus five years of
relevant work experience will provide
access to the FCIP program. In addition,
the Advanced CIP may also provide
useful FCIP preparation for degreeholders with little prior exposure to
business studies.
Communication Activities
The Institute’s Business Development
and Communications team has engaged
in focused conversations with
targeted p&c organizations about their
professional development needs, and
has conducted personal outreach to
potential FCIP registrants.
Two FCIP Q&A webinars were held in
the first week of May and an additional
webinar was held at the end of
September 2015. With the launch of the
Advanced CIP program, which provides
preparation for FCIP study, the webinar
was positioned as being about study
options beyond the CIP. The webinars
give potential candidates a chance to
ask questions of a current or recent
student, a course facilitator and an
Institute representative.
Ongoing communication activities
include:
• A pre-application self-assessment
quiz available online at www.
insuranceinstitute.ca/AreYouReady.
This is designed to enhance retention
by helping potential candidates
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
understand how best to prepare for
the program.
A “virtual tour” video series available
at www.insuranceinstitute.ca/fcip.
The series features candidates from
the first graduating cohort discussing
their experiences in the program and
the benefits they’ve derived from
individual courses.
Two other videos are currently in
use (one in English, one in French)
featuring high-profile industry
executives discussing the FCIP
program as professional development
for the insurance industry.
Institute participation in Learning Council
/ HR VP meetings to promote the
program at the decision-maker level.
Outreach to C16 students through
local institutes/chapters, including
distribution of printed FCIP information
materials and announcements/
messaging by instructors.
Other outreach by local institutes/
chapters. Resources available include
sales brochures, a library of testimonials,
the FCIP videos and an in-house “FCIP
tool kit”. These resources are also made
available for industry HR departments
to post on their company intranets.
Regular advertisements in the
insurance press, including digital ads
linking to the videos and the selfassessment tool.
Media releases issued to highlight
new courses and other developments
which have led to editorial coverage
on several occasions.

Professionals’ Council
Report
Julie Pingree, BA, CIP
Chair, Professionals’ Council
I am pleased to provide this annual
update on the status and activities
of the CIP Society and the Career
Connections Program.
CIP SOCIETY
Since 1998, the CIP Society has been
working to advance the education,
experience, ethics and excellence of
our members – the graduates of the
Institute. This report provides an update
on the activities of the Society this past
year, including: two special projects –
research and mentoring –and the four
main areas of programs and services –
Membership, Professional Development,
Information Resources and Promotion.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
EMERGING ISSUES
RESEARCH SERIES
Second in the Series:
At its May meeting, the Executive
Committee approved the research
and publication of the second in
the Emerging Issues Research Series:
“Autonomous Vehicles: Implications
for the Insurance Industry in Canada.”
Paul Kovacs has once again been
commissioned to write the report. The
literature review and industry interviews
are underway, a benchmarking survey
of Institute members’ awareness of
the issues is proposed for October
distribution, and a first draft of the
report is due at the end of the calendar
year. The final report will be published
and ready for distribution in April 2016.
The recommendation to pursue this
topic was substantiated with the
rationale that: Driverless cars and trucks
– “autonomous vehicles on our roads
and highways” – (and the evolution
that will take us from full driver to no
driver and various alternatives) will
have significant risk implications for
the industry and consumers in Canada.
Critical mass may seem like a long
time away, but impactful change is
happening very quickly and in the
short term. The AV movement is being
accelerated by technological capabilities
(car manufacturers are testing current
capacity and anticipate fully functioning
driverless cars by 2020 or sooner), nontraditional interested parties (Google,
for example), testing and trials already
underway (US, UK). These forces are
prodding regulators and insurance
organizations to be in a position
to respond.
Six months after approval, this rationale
is even more significant: The volume
on this topic has certainly risen since
May with nearly daily news stories
and increased conversations and
conferences. The timing for the release
of our research paper should allow us
to successfully add informed content
to the discussion.
First in the Series | Update:
The CIP Society is very proud to
have published the first Emerging
Issues Research Report: “Cyber Risks:
Implications for the Insurance Industry in
Canada” released in May 2015 in English
and French. We are pleased that we
have received a number of requests for
copies of the report for distribution at
national conferences and stakeholder
meetings this Fall, requiring additional
print runs. The report is also available
for download from our website;
to date over 1,400 copies have
been downloaded.
We are confident that the report
provides the foundational and formative
research on the implications of cyber
risks and threats to the Canadian p&c
insurance industry – both in terms of
insurance organizations protecting
themselves and insurance professionals
protecting Canadian organizations.
Mentoring ADVANTAGE | Update:
The CIP Society was very proud to launch
Mentoring ADVANTAGE, a microsite
found at: www.insuranceinstitute.ca/
mentoring, in January 2015. Featured
on the site is a wealth of information
and education, resources and tools
for mentors and mentees to form
effective mentoring relationships and for
organizations to implement mentoring
programs internally. Promotion of the
program is ongoing through newsletter
2014 – 2015 Annual Report 25
Professionals’ Council Report
Continued
articles, webinars, and presentations and
communications to HR representatives.
Since January 1, 2015, we have had
9,642 page views on our mentoring
ADVANTAGE website.
Society provides nationally and locally.
As with each survey, data relevant to
the local Chapters / Institutes is passed
along to local managers for their
information and action.
Overall Satisfaction
93% of the 2014 respondents rated their
level of satisfaction with the CIP Society
as ‘Good’, ‘Very Good’ or ‘Excellent.’ This
has been relatively stable since 2008.
UPDATES ON OUR PROGRAMS
AND SERVICES:
The November 2014 survey had a response
rate of 15% with a total of 2,320 respondents.
Highlights of the findings include:
Planning for the November
2015 survey
At its September 2015 meeting, the
CIP Society National Council discussed
the questions to be asked in this year’s
survey. As part of the discussion, the
council reviewed the changes to the
survey over the last few years. Namely,
we have looked to the survey to
benchmark topical issues facing the CIP
Society and to inform the development
and/or delivery of new programs
and services. For example, we have
asked questions related to: readership/
communication vehicles (2010), social
media and devices (2011), professional
ethics (2013) and mentoring (2014).
Membership
This year, the Society’s membership
for the membership year June 1st,
2014 to May 31st, 2015 grew to 17,515,
an increase of 109 members over the
previous membership year. This total
includes 14,104 CIPs and 3,411 FCIPs.
Member Perks Program
The Society’s MemberPerks program
continues to enjoy year over year
growth – both in terms of new
accounts and members who have
opted-in to receive the MemberPerks
e-newsletter. The program is promoted
with continuous reminders through
ADVANTAGE Quarterly and Daily and,
member engagement continues to be
solid with between 33% and 40% of
the member base enrolling, opting-in
to receive e-newsletters and/or
accessing the site.
In 2011, we signed onto a four year
agreement, at a fee, with Venngo the
provider of this service, to ensure the
program continued to be offered
to our members as a value-added
service. With the contract expiring in
September, Council considered the
popularity of the program, the cost of
going forward, and the value-add to
our members. Council recommended
renewing the contract in order to
continue to provide this benefit to our
members. The contract with Venngo
was renewed for another three years
and will expire August 31, 2018.
Annual Membership Survey
Each year we benchmark our members’
perceptions and interest in the
programs and services that the CIP
26 The Insurance Institute of Canada
Advanced CIP
There were two new topics added to
the survey in 2014, the first of which was
the Advanced CIP program. The results
show that nearly half of all respondents
(47% of English and 48% of Frenchspeaking respondents) think that the
new Advanced CIP program will be
‘valuable’ or ‘very valuable’ to them
personally, and about three quarters of
respondents (72% of English and 78%
of French-speaking respondents) think
that the new Advanced CIP program
will be ‘valuable’ to the industry.
Mentoring
The second new topic of questions
added to the survey in 2014 was about
mentoring. Before the launch of the
new ‘mentoring ADVANTAGE’ site, our
members were asked about mentoring
to establish a benchmark for measuring
the success of the new resource.
Members were asked questions about
the value of mentoring, their experiences
with mentoring, and their willingness
to enter into mentoring relationships
in the future.
Open-ended comments about
what our respondents attribute to
their levels of dissatisfaction with their
mentoring relationships correlate with
the materials developed by the CIP
Society. In other words, dissatisfaction
levels were attributed to aspects
such as “lack of organization” and
“poor selection of mentor,” and
these have been addressed on
the site with resources to help
improve goal-setting and matching.
The Council decided that for the
upcoming survey of members, we
would remove the questions on
mentoring, having established a
good benchmark on that topic, but
would include questions on our
communications vehicles (namely
Advantage Quarterly), in order to
benchmark members’ readership
of the publication as the Council
evaluates the effectiveness of
moving the newsletter from
print to digital delivery.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Continuous Learning for Graduates
Advanced CIP
The Council is pleased to see the
launch of this new program – and
especially excited to see the number of
registrations for the first course.
ADVANTAGE LIVE Webinars
The 2015 ADVANTAGE LIVE webinar
series features a number of changes
from the previous (inaugural 15th
anniversary) year:
Professionals’ Council Report
Continued
(1) with the Winter/Spring series, we
increased the price of the webinar to
match local pricing (from the special
anniversary pricing of $15 to the
comparable price of $65) with a revenue
sharing agreement between the CIP
Society and local Institutes (which
encourages/supports promotional
efforts at the local level). However,
with the realization that the soft skills/
personal development webinars are not
well attended at the $65 price point, we
priced the first two webinars of the Fall
series at $15; and (2) we coordinated CE
credits nationally where applicable.
The Winter/Spring (March to June) 2015
period featured four webinars:
• Future of Auto Insurance: From semiautonomous to driverless (38 registrants)
• Future of Claims: New technologies,
social media and claims management
(51 registrants)
• Urban Flooding: Cities reducing the
risk (43 registrants) and
• Networking: Being social online
(originally scheduled for June 2,
was postponed to the Fall, due to
lack of registrants)
The Fall (September to December) 2015
series is featuring four webinars:
• Leadership in mentoring: Seven steps
to being a great mentor, September
22 > (59 registrants)
• Social media: Five ways to network
online (postponed from June),
October 22
• Uber and Airbnb: Insurance in the
sharing economy, November 3
• Rise of the Drones: Insurance products
and claims investigations, week of
November 30 TBC
National Leadership Awards
The CIP Society’s National Leadership
Awards Selection Committee is pleased
to announce this year’s recipient is
Emerging Leader, Bryan Bedford,
FCIP, Manager Strategic Projects and
Privacy Office at Peel Mutual Insurance
Company, Brampton, ON. Bryan will be
presented with his award at the IIOGTA convocation in January 2016. This
year’s recipient brings the number of
leaders inducted into the CIP Society
Leadership Circle to 32 (14 Established
and 18 Emerging).
Professional Ethics
The CIP Society hosts an annual
workshop on ethics in January,
during which members and industry
representatives come together to discuss
ethics in the industry and develop an
editorial lineup for the year’s ethics
columns in Canadian Underwriter. The CIP
Society has been coordinating this ethics
column since 2007, positioning the CIP
Society as actively engaged in evolving
the ethical thinking and practice
of our members and the insurance
community. The columns are available
online (without a password) to the
industry’s benefit.
In addition to the self-study provided
by the columns, the Society’s ethics
program now includes an in-class
learning opportunity. A three-hour
in-person seminar has been developed
to give insurance professionals a good
foundation to discuss the complexities
of ethical decision-making, and to
provide them with a framework to
work confidently through an ethical
dilemma. The promotion of this seminar
will focus on “ethics is good business”
and that understanding how to identify
and resolve ethical dilemmas is a
professional skill that should
be practiced.
The CIP Society is happy to report
that a general seminar will be hosted
by the Insurance Institute of Manitoba
in November.
As well, based on the success of a
series of in-house presentations to the
employees of an Ontario brokerage,
the CIP Society is focusing its efforts
on packaging the ethics seminar for
brokerages and HR departments. This
approach reflects our initial thoughts
about promoting the seminar, as we
anticipated that individuals would have
a hard time self-identifying as requiring/
wanting ethics training. The success of
this seminar within the industry will be
better served by organizations adopting
a top-down approach or organizationalwide learning opportunity. We will be
working closely with local managers to
help promote the seminar in this way.
Rhind Scholarships
Since the first Rhind Scholarship was
awarded in 2004, and including this
year’s four recipients, the Society has
awarded 31 $1,000 scholarships to
members and/or their dependents.
Scholarships are awarded based on
need in three cascading tiers:
• CIP Society members pursuing
their FCIP designation which is not
otherwise supported by employer;
• CIP Society members enrolled
in insurance-related professional
development which is not otherwise
supported by employer (and to be
added to the application form going
forward: including Advanced CIP and
Risk Management Certificate programs);
(and, if scholarships still remain:)
• Dependents of CIP Society members
who are pursuing post-secondary
education in a field that focuses
directly on, or that would impact
significantly on, the property and
casualty insurance industry and/or
related financial services.
The 2015 Rhind Scholarship Selection
Committee awarded four $1,000
scholarships for the 2015-2016
academic year to:
• Alayham Hammami (CIP Society
member pursuing continuing
professional development; from
London, ON);
• Natalee Sinclair (CIP Society member
pursuing continuing professional
2014 – 2015 Annual Report 27
Professionals’ Council Report
Continued
development; from Vancouver, BC);
• Ryan McKenna (son of CIP Society
member Stephen E. McKenna;
from Sydenham, ON); and
• Dylan Boilard (son of CIP Society
member Blair Boilard; from
Elliot Lake, ON).
INFORMATION RESOURCES
The ADVANTAGE of membership is the
availability of Information Services for
members AT ALL HOURS (website) and
on a DAILY, MONTHLY and QUARTERLY
basis. And as the membership survey
confirms, these are valued benefits
of membership.
www.insuranceinstitute.ca/
cipsociety
The CIP Society section of the Insurance
Institute website continues to gain
traction as members seek or get
connected to our programs and
services and access to exclusive
member content.
ADVANTAGE Daily: the news in
brief/ AVANTAGE Hebdomadaire:
les nouvelles en bref
Consistently, ADVANTAGE Daily has
an open rate that hovers around 30%,
and a click rate that similarly hovers
around 30%.
ADVANTAGE Monthly:
emerging trends and issues
The CIP Society has been producing
a monthly trends paper on hot topics
in the industry, with the help of three
experienced writers, since 2007. To date,
we have 80+ papers on topics ranging
from natural disasters and catastrophes,
to fraud, to legal issues and liability, to
pandemics, to specialty lines. The online
library features categorization by topic
making the papers searchable by year
and topic; and that is in addition to the
search function on the website, itself.
Recently, as a pilot, we posted two of
our trends papers (on Uber and Airbnb)
28 The Insurance Institute of Canada
as online web articles and linked to
them from our ADVANTAGE Daily
e-newsletter, without hiding them
behind member login. These papers
generated a significant amount of
traffic – over 1000 individual hits for
Uber and 500 hits for Airbnb, with an
average time on page of over 6 minutes,
and retweets and posting on LinkedIn
– which is immensely more than our
other PDF papers have received in the
ADVANTAGE Monthly library.
At its September meeting, the CIP
Society National Council discussed and
agreed that the ADVANTAGE Monthly
trends papers would better serve
Society members and the industry at
large by being moved out from behind
the Member Login and made available
to all. The Council is confident that
by increasing access and information
sharing to this robust online resource,
that our membership will recognize the
value to themselves and to the industry.
A council task force will review the
current library of papers and provide
recommendations for selections to be
made available publicly. As well, with
the new process, the trends papers
will be authored in a consistent style
and they will be available in both
English and French. This change will be
introduced in early 2016.
ADVANTAGE Quarterly: the pulse of
the industry
ADVANTAGE Quarterly is the last of
the Institute publications to still be
printed and mailed to members.
When we surveyed members in 2010,
respondents were somewhat divided
in their support of electronic vs. printed
newsletters. Society Council maintains
a similar division of support between
methods of delivery as per discussion
at the September meeting. To help
inform a decision regarding the value
of moving ADVANTAGE Quarterly to
a digital format, Council approved
replicating the questions from 2010 in
this year’s membership survey in order
to benchmark members’ preferences
with the publication.
PROMOTION
Promoting the Society
With a proposed change in membership
benefits, like the trends papers becoming
available to all, it warranted a review of
our positioning going forward. Since
2008, our positioning has been how
‘Members Benefit’ by being individual
members of the Society, by taking
advantage of all the programs and
services offered.
At its September meeting, Council
agreed that it seems fitting to shift
the perspective a little away from
“how I benefit” as an individual
member to “how we all benefit”
from a CIP Society that is advancing
professionals in the industry.
Proposed shift in positioning the
CIP Society:
CIP Society, as your professional
association, is continuously working
on your behalf and on behalf of the
industry, to advance the education,
experience, ethics and excellence
of our members.
Here’s how your membership in
the Society benefits you >
Members benefit:
• Industry news from Canada and
around the world, delivered to your
inbox daily in our e-newsletter,
ADVANTAGE Daily
• Continuous learning through our
new Advanced CIP program, the Risk
Management Certificate program, the
ADVANTAGE Live webinar series, the
PROedge seminar series, professional
development courses, and the
prestigious FCIP program.
• Savings on everyday buys, special
purchases and trips through
our member savings program,
MemberPerks
Professionals’ Council Report
Continued
Here’s how your membership in the
Society contributes to enhancing
the profession and advancing the
industry > Strength in numbers:
• Generating awareness of the
designations to consumers through
our nation-wide advertising and
promotion campaigns
• Raising the bar for professionalism
and excellence in the industry
through our National Leadership
Awards program

• Providing an online library of
emerging trends papers (ADVANTAGE
Monthly); providing research papers
on hot topics and legal issues
• Publishing research on the
demographics of the industry’s
workforce and most recently,
on Cyber Risks as the first in our
Emerging Issues Research Series;
helping the industry make informed
decisions about critical issues
• Supporting Career Connections
outreach promoting careers in
insurance to meet the recruitment
needs of the industry; and
coming soon,
• Developing career pathing resources
promoting career opportunities for
those in the industry.
We hope you are proud to be a
member of the CIP Society given
these many membership benefits
and industry contributions.
Promoting the Designations
to Consumers
At its September meeting, Council was
pleased to learn about additional activities
and new directions for promoting the CIP
designation to consumers; in particular:
1.the matte stories and audio news
release results for local newspapers
and radio stations across the country;
2.the Value of CIP study and the new
www.BeAssured.ca website and
campaign; and
3.the new advertisements and
placements for the coming year:
PROMOTING CAREERS
IN INSURANCE – CAREER
CONNECTIONS
This report provides a summary of the
activities of the Career Connections
program including the:
1.Four Point Strategic Plan that
continues to define our programming
each year:
• Increase awareness of careers in
insurance > through our messaging
• Put a face to the industry > through
our messengers/ambassadors
• Provide a gateway to careers in
insurance > through our extensive,
national outreach
• Work together to attract the
employees of the future > through
our network within the industry
and hosting of career fairs and
other insurance-specific activities.
2.Update on the project to refresh and
augment our resources, as approved
at the Executive Committee meeting
in May, 2014.
Four Point Strategic Plan
Messaging:
• Focus groups and roundtables
with industry recruiters keep our
messaging relevant and our strategic
direction on track.
• Promoting careers in insurance
through our most prominent
positioning statements is working:
“Insurance has a workforce of over
120,000 strong and careers as
diverse as its people.”
“Whatever your background, there’s
a place for you in insurance.”
“Your interests and experience may
add up to a great career in insurance.”
“You may be surprised to find that
insurance isn’t what you think.
It’s a whole lot more.”
• Career Connections receives many
compliments, particularly from career
centres and career advisers, about the
wealth of information and resources
available through our brochures,
postcards, and particularly our
website with videos, online quizzes,
links to employers, links to education,
credentialing and licensing, as well
as job postings.
Messengers:
• A large roster of ambassadors > 328
• These are industry professionals
who have stepped forward with
an enthusiasm to promote careers
in insurance. Some have been part
of corporate initiatives; others have
made individual commitments to
give back to the industry in this way.
Thankfully, Career Connections has
many messengers to promote careers
in insurance as broadly as possible.
EXTENSIVE NATIONAL OUTREACH:
High School Outreach:
• Reached 6,500+ high school students
in 258 classroom presentations.
• Reached more than 110,000 high
school students at 31 career fairs
across the country.
• Distributed more than 4,000 teachers’
resources at teacher conferences
across the country – Career Kits, Know
Your Risk, Risk Responsibility Reality,
You’re IN Business, and Forces of Nature
–encouraging teachers to teach about
insurance in the classroom.
Post-Secondary School Outreach:
• Promoted careers in insurance on
52 college and university campuses
across the country.
• Reached 85,000 post-secondary
students at 55 general career fairs
and presentations.
• Reached 6,500 post-secondary
students at the 45 insurance-specific
career fairs and panel presentations
2014 – 2015 Annual Report 29
Professionals’ Council Report
Continued
hosted by Career Connections. Some
of these events netted us our largest
audiences (of those self-selecting to
attend an insurance-specific event)
to date:
o 300+ attendees at a career fair we
hosted in Calgary in September
2014, and
o 530+ participants in an online
‘office hour’ facilitated by Career
Connections’ Trevor Buttrum as
part of Talent Egg’s “Insurance
Week” promotion.
• Participated as hosts and panel
presenters to corporate tours in
Toronto of students from Dalhousie,
UBC, and Thompson River Universities.
• Expanded our outreach in Montreal,
from a panel presentation and speed
networking at Concordia University
last year, to become an information
session and career fair for students
from all 4 universities in Montreal.
The industry employers were
enthusiastic to participate.
• All in, reached more than 90,000
post-secondary students and
grads across the country.
An update on our outreach in
Quebec:
Career Connections had been
increasing our outreach at universities
in Montreal and Quebec City over the
last five years – expanding from first
year coverage of the English speaking
universities’ career fairs to outreach
at the French university career fairs
to insurance specific programming
connecting employers with potential
candidates from the four Montreal
universities this past year.
During this past summer, we have
been informed that La Coalition will
be expanding their mandate beyond
outreach to high school and CEGEP
students to now include outreach
at the university level. Given the
enthusiasm of industry employers
in Montreal to participate in our
30 The Insurance Institute of Canada
career events and get connected
to potential candidates, it is not a
surprise that Quebec organizations
are looking for more outreach at the
university level. Career Connections
and La Coalition agreed to partner on
this Fall’s Quebec university career fair
schedule calling upon both rosters of
ambassadors. Going forward, we will
provide additional information upon
request as La Coalition expands their
university outreach – and anticipate a
proportionate decline in involvement
in Quebec by Career Connections.
Career Changers:
• Reached 6,000 career changers and
internationally trained professionals
(ITPs) by hosting 20 events promoting
careers in insurance. In addition, we
have engaged with career changers
at a variety of community events
like Ontario University Fair, Alberta
Employment Fair, etc.
• Developed a partnership with the
Consortium of Agencies Serving
International-trained Persons (CASIP),
which brought them to our expert
roundtable, provided an opportunity
to present an in-service to their
advisors, hosted a panel presentation
at the Institute, and presentations to
students in their bridging programs.
• Presented on a ‘Careers in Financial
Services’ panel to 180+ delegates
attending the annual Internationally
Educated Professionals (IEP)
conference in Toronto, as part of our
expanding outreach strategy for this
audience (evolving from attending to
exhibiting to presenting).
Social Media:
• Our videos on Youtube and our
website have been viewed more
than 89,000 times.
• Our followers on Twitter have grown
to 254, organically, as we follow and
tweet more with post-secondary
institutions, community career
centres, other partners, and
potential candidates.
• Our social ad campaigns (targeted
google ads at the point when career
seekers are googling related themes)
are contributing greatly to the increase
in website and jobsite traffic.
Website:
• The number of unique visitors to
our website doubled year over year!
Between August 1, 2014 and July 31,
2015, we had 134,219 unique visitors
to our website (compared to 87,000+
for the same period last year); that’s
11,100+ unique users per month.
• Job site in particular is extremely
popular, with 60,177 unique visitors
this year to date; that’s 5,015 unique
users per month.
• Content on the website is engaging
our visitors as they take our quiz
(8,000) and visit our resume and
networking sections (1950).
Working Together:
• Career Connections leverages
partnerships, inside and outside
of the industry, to the fullest.
• We work closely with industry
employers encouraging participation
in our ambassador program, in our
panels and career fairs, in our annual
roundtables, and in promotion
of the program.
• We form strategic networks with
industry associations, industry and
education councils and career services
organizations to promote careers in
insurance as extensively as possible.
• Career Connections receives regular
confirmation from employers
that many have sourced potential
candidates and/or hired from
participating in our career events.
Project to Refresh and Augment
our Resources
Following project approval at the
May 2014 Executive Committee, we
proceeded with our plan to refresh
and augment our resources. Here is
a status report on our progress:
Professionals’ Council Report
Continued
Objectives:
• To leverage the increased number
and engagement of youth in the
industry by incorporating youthful
insurance professionals, such as
graduates of the full-time insurance
programs, into our materials. This
would provide for representation of
the echo cohort (under 32) in our
resources and could also serve as
promotion for the college programs
as an entry point to the industry.
• To enable internationally-trained
professionals (ITPs) to ‘see themselves’
as having a place in the industry
through our materials.
Activities:
Information Gathering: Roundtables and
Focus Groups – Completed
From the roundtable discussions that
Career Connections hosts once or
twice a year in key centres like Toronto,
Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and
Conestoga, we have clear information
that companies are diversifying
their recruitment strategies and, for
some, looking to us to help with that
outreach. General consensus at these
roundtables confirms that with more
targeted materials that speak to these
potential candidates – with more
specific messaging about transferable
skill sets and key roles in the industry
that are difficult to fill – that employers
would make use of these resources.
These roundtable discussions – with
representatives of the industry’s top
20 insurers – continue to inform and
provide insight to Career Connections’
strategic direction and cultivate strong
relationships with the HR recruiters and
hiring managers.
As part of the project plan, we
conducted a roundtable discussion in
October 2014 with experts who provide
career services to Internationallytrained/ Internationally-educated
professionals (ITPs/IEPs). This was
very informative to the process of
determining how best to provide
information and resources to those
who may have transferable skills into
insurance. This group is very enthusiastic
about the links they can make to
insurance and look forward to having
resources at the ready to share with
their clients.
As well, we conducted four focus
groups in November 2014 with
these key audiences:
a.ITPs: thinking about a career in insurance
b.ITPs: in the industry
c.Youth: new to the industry/recent
grads of college programs
d.Youth: new to the industry/recent grads
of non-insurance specific education.
The focus groups helped us understand
how each of these groups felt about
the opportunities and barriers to a
career in insurance. The insights have
helped inform our messaging going
forward and how we are refreshing and
augmenting our materials.
Creative Development
New and Refreshing of Videos – Completed
We identified 5 new ‘spokespeople’ to
be videotaped and to represent our
new ‘marketing representative’ and
‘actuary’ roles, as well as to represent ‘a
college grad,’ ‘a university grad’ and ‘an
ITP’ talking about what they like about
their careers in insurance. We refreshed
the other 7 roles and the full-length
videos. And we created an additional
video providing three themed answers
to the question “Why choose a career in
insurance?” All are uploaded to Youtube
and our website.
We are quite excited about the new
videos. We anticipate the 4-minute
video featuring ‘a college grad talking
about his career in insurance” will be
appealing to the coordinators of the
full-time insurance programs and have
provided links and connection points
for their program websites. We think
the “Why choose a career in insurance?”
becomes a great asset for twitter and
social media.
Revamping Brochures – Completed
Information gathered in the focus
groups has been informing the
revamping of the high school, postsecondary school and career changer
brochures. Final English brochures
were printed and have been put into
circulation for the Fall calendar of
career fairs. The French post-secondary
brochure – featuring our francophone
‘ambassadors’ – was finalized and
printed in time for the Quebec
university circuit this September. The
addition of a promotional post card
promoting the jobsite is already proving
to be an excellent resource.
Banner Stands – Completed and
in Distribution
New banner stands were created for
most of the local Institutes and Chapters
and are being disseminated as events
roll out across the country.
We look forward to continuing the
evolution of Career Connections
messaging and career resources, as we
continue in our mission:
To improve the understanding of insurance,
illustrate its role in society, and encourage
young adults and career seekers to pursue
one of the many skilled professions available
in the insurance industry.
Since 2003, Career Connections has
taken the lead in promoting awareness
about the rewarding and varied careers
available in insurance. We are confident
that our outreach year over year to
200,000 + people (students, graduates,
career changers, internationally trained
professionals, career advisors, teachers,
and partners) increases the pool of
interested, talented and informed
candidates available to meet the growing
recruitment needs of our industry.
The success of Career Connections’
outreach and employers’ hiring is
reflected in:
2014 – 2015 Annual Report 31
Professionals’ Council Report
Continued
(1) the demographic research studies
that demonstrate significant
increases in youth recruitment since
2007; and HR representatives confirm
that our efforts to promote careers
in insurance are contributing to little
difficulty and less urgency when
recruiting for entry-level roles; and
(2) the growth in the full-time
insurance programs, increasing
from 4 in 2007 to the current 12
college programs across Canada.
Providing a pipeline of graduates
who have chosen to study about
insurance in order to work in
the industry.

2014 – 2015 Annual Report 35
Treasurer’s Report
This report is the formal method of
accepting and approving the audited
financial statements for 2014-2015
prepared by BDO Canada LLP, Chartered
Accountants. The reports have been
examined by the Finance Committee
and subsequently approved by the
Board of Governors for presentation
to this meeting.
The Insurance Institute finished its fiscal
year with a good result turning in an
operating surplus in each of its three
divisions on solid revenues and excellent
expense control by management. Under
the guidance of the Institute’s investment
firm Foyston, Gordon & Payne Inc. and
oversight by the Finance Committee,
the Institute’s investments posted riskappropriate gains during a year that
experienced significant market volatility.
36 The Insurance Institute of Canada
Despite a challenging year for industry
employers and employees, Institute
membership slipped slightly by
only 0.5% to finish the year at 39,097
members, buoyed by a continued focus
on membership renewals and strong
local institute initiatives. CIP Society
membership increased by a modest
0.6% to reach another new high of
17,515 members.
would like to record our thanks to
employers for their ongoing support
of the Institutes through their voluntary
subscriptions, permitting their staff
to participate as resources to the
Institute and as volunteers, and for
the continuing encouragement they
provide to motivate their employees
to complete their professional
qualifications.
The audited financial statements are
self-explanatory and show that our
reserves and operating positions are
strong, and I move for their acceptance
and approval at this time.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of
The Insurance Institute of Canada/
L’Institut d’Assurance du Canada
We have audited the accompanying
financial statements of the The Insurance
Institute of Canada/L'Institut d'Assurance
du Canada which comprise the balance
sheet at July 31, 2015 and the statements
of the Special Projects Reserve Fund,
Funds Invested in Capital Assets,
Contingency Reserve Fund, General
Operations Fund, Career Connections
Fund, Professionals' Society Fund, Revenue
and Expenditures ‑ General Operations,
Revenue and Expenditures ‑ Career
Connections, Revenue and Expenditures
‑ Professionals' Society and cash flows for
the year then ended and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for
the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the
preparation and fair presentation of
these financial statements in accordance
with Canadian accounting standards
for not‑for‑profit organizations, and for
such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we
comply with ethical requirements and
plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures
to obtain audit evidence about the
amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected
depend on the auditor's judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant
to the entity's preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements
in order to design audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity's internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of
the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Institute
as at July 31, 2015 and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the
year then ended in accordance with
Canadian accounting standards for
not‑for‑profit organizations.

1. Significant Accounting Policies
Purpose of Institute
The Institute is a non‑profit organization incorporated under the laws of Canada. The
Institute is dedicated to providing educational courses and resources to the insurance
community. The Institute works in conjunction with the Provincial Institutes to
support their delivery of educational programs through the development of a uniform
standard of insurance education.
The Institute is a non‑profit organization and, as such, is exempt from income tax.
Basis of Accounting
The Institute follows the deferral method of accounting. Revenues and expenses
are recorded on the accrual basis, whereby they are reflected in the accounts in the
period in which they have been earned and incurred, respectively, whether or not
such transactions have been finally settled by the receipt or payment of money.
Revenue Recognition
Membership fee revenue is recognized over the term of the membership period.
Agents licensing, tuition, and examination fees are recognized upon completion
of the course or event. National subscribers revenue is recognized over the term of
the annual subscription. Fellowship program revenue is recognized as the service is
provided. Other revenues are recognized upon provision of the goods or service.
Instructional Materials
Instructional materials are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is
generally determined on a first‑in, first‑out basis.
Capital Assets
Capital assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization based
on the estimated useful life of the asset is charged directly to Funds Invested in Capital
Assets from the date the asset is put in use as follows:
Computer equipment and software‑ 4 years straight line basis
Leasehold improvements‑ 5 years straight line basis
Office equipment‑ 4 years straight line basis
Long term investments consist of term deposits and bond and equity funds which are
capable of reasonably prompt liquidation but are being held long term and are stated
at market value. Investment income includes unrealized gains or losses for investments
held at the balance sheet date.
Long Term Investments
Transfers to/from Provincial
Institutes
The surplus accounts of Provincial Institutes are generally maintained at amounts
agreed upon with The Insurance Institute of Canada. Balances in excess of the agreed
amounts become payable to The Insurance Institute of Canada with the exception of
additional agreed amounts appropriated to reserve accounts. Any operating deficits
are potentially recoverable from The Insurance Institute of Canada subject to review
and approval by the Executive Committee in accordance with the Provincial and/or
Local Institute Financing Guidelines.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue results from the following:
(a) National subscribers revenue recognized on a calendar year basis;
(b) The receipt of distance learning course registration fees for programs administered
after the year end, net of related expenses incurred before year end.
(c) The receipt of Professionals' Society membership fees relating to membership for
the following year.
(d) Other amounts received in advance of the revenue being earned.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting
standards for not‑for‑profit organizations requires management to make estimates
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at that date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional
information becomes available in the future.
Employee Future Benefits
The Institute operates a defined benefit pension plan, available to certain
employees, whose funds are administered independently of the Institute's finances.
Funding is effected in accordance with independent actuarial advice. The Institute
recognizes a liability and an expense for its defined benefit plan in the period in
which employees render services in return for the benefits. The accrued benefit
obligation is determined using the actuarial valuation for funding purposes based on
management's best estimates and other factors. The current service costs and finance
costs are included in income for the period, while remeasurements and other items
are charged directly to net assets as they occur.
The Institute also operates a defined contribution pension plan for certain employees.
The Institute's pension costs are charged to operations as contributions are due.
Contributions are a defined amount based upon a set percentage of salary.
Foreign currency accounts are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
Foreign Currency Translation
46 The Insurance Institute of Canada
At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is translated into
Canadian dollars by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the year end
date, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars by using the
exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses
are included in income in the current period.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments are recorded at fair value when acquired or issued. In subsequent
periods, term deposits and bond and equity funds are reported at fair value, with any
unrealized gains and losses reported in income. All other financial instruments are
reported at cost or amortized cost less impairment, if applicable. Financial assets are
tested for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate the asset could be
impaired. Transaction costs on the acquisition, sale or issue of financial instruments
are expensed for those items remeasured at fair value at each balance sheet date and
charged to the financial instrument for those measured at amortized cost.
Allocation of Expenses
The Institute incurs salaries and benefits expenses and general and administrative
support expenses that are common to the administration of the Institute and to
each program that it operates. Salaries and benefits are allocated based on Executive
Committee approval which approximates the percentage of time spent on that
program. General and administrative support expenses are allocated proportionately
on the basis of the total costs of the programs.
2. Change in Accounting for Employee Future Benefits
Effective August 1, 2014, The Institute has adopted the new CPA Canada accounting standard Section 3463 Reporting
Employee Future Benefits by Not‑for‑Profit Organizations. This section requires the immediate recognition approach to be
used when accounting for employee future benefits for defined benefit plans. The Institute previously had used the deferral
and amortization approach. This change in accounting policy has been made in accordance with the transitional provisions
of the standard, accounted for retrospectively and the comparative statements for the prior year have been restated.
This change in accounting policy had the following effect on the financial statements:
Decrease in General Operations Fund, August 1, 2013
Decrease in pension fund, August 1, 2013

10. Fund Balances
The Institute's policies relating to the fund balances are as follows:
The Institute has determined that it requires five categories of funds.
The Special Projects Reserve Fund is maintained to provide for designated projects. Contributions initially placed in the
Operating Funds will be transferred to the Special Projects Reserve Fund as required to meet financial costs of special projects
approved by the Executive Committee or Board.
The Funds Invested in Capital Assets are internally restricted amounts that represent the net investment in capital assets.
The Contingency Reserve Fund is to be maintained at a level no less than $1,600,000 and no greater than $2,600,000 plus
investment income earned. The reserve is maintained to fund six to nine months of the basic infrastructure costs of the
Institute. The balance to be maintained in the fund will be revisited every three to five years to ensure adjustment of the
minimum and maximum amounts as required.
The Pension Reserve Fund is maintained to provide for pension plan funding deficits.
The Operating Funds are comprised of the General Operations Fund, Career Connections Fund and Professionals' Society
Fund. They are maintained to provide for ongoing operations, as required, and to fund special projects.

12. Financial Instrument Risk
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes
in market interest rates. The Institute is exposed to interest rate risk arising from the possibility that changes in interest rates
will affect the value of fixed income denominated long term investments. The Institute manages its investments based on its
cash flow needs and with a view to optimize its investment income.
Other Price Risk
Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices,
other than those arising from interest rate risk or currency risk, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to
the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in a market. The
Institute manages market risk by diversifying its investments.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign exchange rates. The Institute has the Canadian equivalent of $2,143,249 (2014 ‑ $1,788,169) in foreign
equities investments denominated in US dollars.
The risks have not changed from the prior year.
13. Comparative Figures
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year's method of presentation.

as those outside the larger metropolitan
areas. The largest opportunity for growth
in membership remains with the broker
force across the Western Provinces.
CIP Program (See figure B)
Overall the Western Institutes exceeded
target by 1.7%. The Saskatchewan
Institute achieved the largest variance
over target due to the following strategies
undertaken: implementation of company
bill payment process with SGI, a new
orientation seminar given by IISK to all
new employees highlighting the CIP
courses as part of the delivery, and the
offering of more virtual and combined
classes to reach out to rural students.
The Insurance Institutes of Manitoba
and Southern Alberta exceeded their
targets for both number of classes and
students. Northern Alberta reached
target for CIP students due to a number
of strategies including company visits
and in house registration booths. IIBC
also held company visits and in house
registration booths at ICBC. There is
continued support from ICBC with an
overall growth of 20% from the insurer.
The plan is to market to licensing
students and other underrepresented
markets to increase CIP uptake.
Our Institutes continue to expand
delivery methods for the program,
using web-based, “weekend warrior”,
“fast track” compressed and localized
in-house employer formats. Most of
the Institutes set up registration tables
at the major employers to provide
assistance for potential students to
register at the start of each semester.
Institutes are also focusing on instructor
recruitment and development and
continue involvement in the new

Manitoba experienced success with a
strong variety of topics including one
very popular seminar on condominium
insurance. IISK experienced significant
increased seminar attendance as a
result of monthly SGI 101 Insurance
New Employee Essentials seminars
as well as a popular condominium
insurance seminar.
In BC, the GIE licensing program
continues to be offered in Vancouver,
New Westminster, Victoria and Nanaimo
as well as through a home study program.
This year, they also introduced a week
long fast track course that has resulted
in 21 registrants. The Insurance Institute

Convocation Attendance (See figure F)
The total number of FCIP and GIE
graduates for convocations in the
Western Institutes was up over prior
year but CIP graduates were down
from prior year. Attendance was
slightly behind last year due to
less graduates overall.
This past year IISA held their popular
Mimosa Reception & Industry Trade
Show that was well received again.
Saskatchewan council president and
manager hand delivered certificates
to those individuals not in attendance
at the convocation taking the time to
recognize graduates that could not
attend the convocation. In Manitoba,
the convocation luncheon, had a
powerpoint presentation which
featured stories, quotes and inspirations
from the graduation class.
CIP Society
As reported earlier, many of the
industry events profile the CIP Society
and the value it provides to our
institute members. This includes
the CIP Society golf tournaments
that take place in most of the western
Institutes, expansion of the Battle
of the Band events, and the wine
tasting events in Vancouver.
Promotion of the CIP Society remains at
the forefront for the Western Institutes.
Some highlights from the past year
include:
•
Full page graduate ad and licensing
ad in the Broker Magazine, other
industry publications, and/or
local newspapers
•
Sponsoring industry events
Career Connections
As in prior years, the Western Institutes
continue to expand the ambassador
program with attendance at a number
of career fairs and school presentations.
These continue to be supplemented
with programs such as:
•
Feed the Minds of Youth annual events
•
Recognition events for our
ambassadors and volunteers
Other
Our Western Institutes have been
impacted or see opportunities to
expand delivery of our programming
as a result of:
•
Ongoing licensing changes in the
various western provinces has
provided new opportunities for some
institutes. In Alberta newly developed
licensing classes and curriculum were
provided to the membership. Strong
results have been reported from
students attending these classes,
Manitoba also was given approval by
the council for expanded use of the
CIP/GIE materials in the various
licensing levels.

•
New Insurance college program
utilizing CIP materials in Manitoba
to start fall 2015 at Red River college.
•
Also a new college program starting
in Calgary through Bow Valley
commencing fall 2016.
•
The Alberta Institutes have been
impacted by downsizing and
consolidation of some insurers
and Northern Alberta has been
particularly impacted. The hope is
that with the additional advertising
and marketing efforts this will
mitigate some of the membership
retention issues.
Conclusion
It has, once again, been a very positive
year for the Western Institutes. The
Institute Councils and staff are to be
commended for their diligence and
focus ensuring the needs of Institute
members are so very well served.
58 The Insurance Institute of Canada
I also must thank Michael and Margaret
for their assistance over the past two
years, aiding me in my role and for the
diligence and dedication they have in
working with the local Institutes. From
the past two Western Regional Meetings,
I know how much value they provide
and how much the local Institutes
appreciate their efforts. Thank you.
As my two years as Regional Vice Chair,
Western Provinces comes to a close, it
has been an honour and my absolute
pleasure to participate on the Board
and work closely with the IIC Executive
Committee. This time has reaffirmed for
me the value of the Insurance Institutes
both nationally and at the local levels.
The dedication to improving the
knowledge and expertise of members
of our industry is a worthy cause.
Everyone here today can be proud of
the many accomplishments, successful
results, and continued focus that is in
place going forward, to advance
the professionalism of those in our
industry that allows us to better
serve our customers.
Thank you for the opportunity and
the privilege to work with you.

Introduction
Programs (See figure B)
Seminars (See figure C)
It is my pleasure to present this report
on behalf of the six chapters and the
GTA operation that combine to serve
as the Insurance Institute of Ontario.
CIP Program: End of August 2015
These numbers are for the seminar activity
since the last report in May, and reflect
the first quarter April, May and June, of
the local fiscal year, 2015/2016.
As reported in May, after several years
of very strong growth, this year the
IIO experienced a more moderate
participation in our courses, seminars
and events. Despite the numbers that
were lower than last year, the total
participation was within planned
budget expectations.
Membership (See figure A)
The total membership count dropped
by 129 members this year, which is a clear
reflection of the changing industry
landscape. Based on the industry
conditions, it is not unexpected that
there would be less appetite to remain a
member, and the main reason for this is
a reflection of the change of philosophy
in the industry with regard to financial
support. Activity also drives membership
and despite the challenges in this area,
we were able to bring in new members
at a similar pace to last year. (2015 = 2261
compared to 2014 = 2272).
Southwestern and Hamilton/Niagara
have seen a year over year increase,
despite the loss of members to the
Conestoga chapter, which occurred
due to internal restructuring at the
Economical. Ottawa continues to
experience a bit of a downturn, however
considerably less than last year, as the
new manager revitalizes their activities.
GTA is one of the most heavily impacted
by the mergers and acquisition activity
in Ontario, as well as the completion of
certain marketing activity that included
complimentary memberships.
Due to the reduction in class
participation, the local chapters
submitted a more realistic plan
this year and then worked hard to
continue the many initiatives that
they have implemented to build the
student base. As a result the overall
province exceeded both the number
of classes and the number of student
participants, by just short of 10%.
In fact the number of students per class
was planned at an average of 15, but
achieved 16 students per class which
reflects good expense management.
Southwestern and Ottawa Chapters
continue to fall short of their plan,
which could be as a result of inaccurate
planning during the transition of
managers in both locations. The GTA
did much better this year, with
continued strength in virtual classes,
and Conestoga with weekend warriors.
The in-house programs are starting
to show some improvement this year,
and although we have lost some
opportunities through mergers and
acquisitions of the stakeholders, new
opportunities have arisen thanks to
strong relationship building.
OTL
The IIO continues to represent FSCO
as the sole provider of the Other than
Life licensing required by the industries
direct writers. The number of exams
continues to grow and we finished at
1619 exams this year. We meet annually
with the regulator and once again this
year, they are confident in the work we
are doing on their behalf.
As was mentioned in the May report,
seminar participation was a challenge
last year, so we are pleased to see the
first quarter numbers strong for the
Academic Offerings. Last year at this
time, we had offered more seminars
with a small per class participation, 13
people per seminar. This year we are
running at 18 people per seminar
which is the result of better planning
and good expense management.
The CIP Society level seminars are not
doing as well for this quarter; however
there are strong plans in place for Q2.
The first round of the new Fundamentals
Series has been piloted this year, and we
have three more ready to be launched
this fall. The revised and updated format
for the Understanding Serious Injury has
the blessing of the OIAA and is launching
in September. We are also having
preliminary conversations about another
topic for the Understanding Series. The
Member Bonus offerings have been
received well, with one exception, which
we think was a unique combination of
topic, timing and local competition.
As reported earlier we continue to move
the needle with regard to long term
planning for the seminar program.
New seminar committees and volunteers
at the local level, and, significant
training for managers at our annual
National Managers Meeting will serve to
continue the progress made. Changes
are still needed in the face of our strong
competitors and the industry expense
containment challenges.

Since our last report, the local chapters
have offered several fun networking
events. At the Forefront breakfast,
Golf Tournaments, Share your Voice
roundtables and of course all of the
Annual General Meetings in June,
have occurred.
Career Connections
The IIO celebrated a Toast Your Success
appreciation event in two locations
this year. Ambassadors were invited
to the GTA and Conestoga to be
acknowledged for the work they do to
bring new members to our industry.
Summer is quiet, but fall has begun
with retraining and a back to school
events for Ambassadors and career
connections council specialists.
Local Industry Issues affecting
Institutes
Mergers and Acquisitions have joined the
list of industry activity that is impacting
education in Ontario. The introduction
of the Member Bonus Series, and the
inaugural offering of the Symposium
West, is a couple of ways to provide new
opportunities to our members that fit
their needs and their lifestyle.
revenues are sitting right on plan with
33% earned so far, this first four months,
and with expenses being well managed.

Conclusion
Overall the end of the IIC fiscal year
showed stable results for Ontario which
is the local first 4 months. A slight drop
in membership financials is as expected,
and a quieter spring class semester
is reflected in the finances. Overall

Québec Regional Report
Chantal Gagnon, FCIP, MBA
President
Introduction
Although 2015 was more difficult than
previous years, and in spite of the
competition in the Quebec marketplace,
we were able to surpass our financial
objectives, thanks in part to diversified
sources of income.
Membership (See figure A)
Our membership fell by 4.8% despite
visits to 32 employers in Quebec
and several CEGEPs11 to promote the
Insurance Institute. Our reading of the
situation is that our results have been
affected by mergers and acquisitions
of insurance companies and large
brokerages, by demographic changes,
and by employers’ budgetary constraints.
However, with the arrival of the advanced
CIP program and the CRM, we should be
able to offset at least part of the decline
in enrolment.
CIP Program (See figure B)
The reduction is the result of a
lower number of students for the
fall 2014 session, since spring and
winter registrations were unchanged
compared to the previous year. The
Council and staff are keeping a close
watch on these results and on the
factors that may affect them. Worth
noting is our students’ interest in
the courses offered by the Institut
d’Assurance de dommages du Québec
on the internet.
Over 36% of our students take courses
via the web. We expect to surpass the
50% mark within 18 months, as we are
increasing our online course offering.
1 CEGEPs are junior colleges in Quebec, the equivalent of Grade 12
and the first year (or two) of university or college in other provinces.

We sold more than 80 in-house seminars
between April 1 and July 31, 2015.
Seminars
Events (See figure E)
There are two (2) types of seminars
available to Quebec members: public
and ‘’in-house’’. In-house seminars
are delivered at a broker’s or insurer’s
offices, while the public sessions are in
such locations as hotels in Montreal and
Quebec City. We have more than 80
topics available for ‘’in-house’’ sessions
and subject to PDU credits.
Rendez-vous Québec, in May 2015,
attracted more than 748 participants,
while the June 2015 golf tournament
drew more than 214 players.
Public seminars (See figure C)
Between April 1 and July 31, 2015, Public
seminars increased by more than 15%.

IADQ priorities
We continue to work on the 7 main
objectives the IADQ Council has set for
2014-2015:
1. Ongoing work to raise awareness of
the IADQ by conducting activities
attended by people in the industry
and partnering with other industry
organizations (Trends and Issues in
collaboration with LARAQ, Rendezvous Québec [Meet underwriters]
with the RCCAQ, the launch of
our training catalogue with the
RCCAQ, a calendar of activities for
all industry stakeholders, etc).
2. Work on our core business by
continuing to promote our CIP and
FCIP programs and focusing on the
Web as a means of learning.
3. Present and promote stimulating
training courses in public and
industry settings.
4. Remain attentive to the importance
of maintaining or increasing
the number of members and
monitoring members’ satisfaction.
5. Recognize our volunteers by
instituting an award for Volunteer
of the Year.
6. Reduce our dependence on grants,
with a target of 5% reduction per year.
7. Continue to develop our governance
policy by providing training for
the Council and some IADQ staff,
improving rules and practices, and
directing our General Manager
to ensure clear and transparent
communication of objectives to
all IADQ employees in order to
raise their level of engagement.

The IADQ’s General Manager has
received the updated communications
plan, reflecting the Institute’s priorities
as set by the Council. The use of social
media will play an important part
in carrying out this plan, in terms of
maintaining relations with industry
stakeholders as well as raising awareness
of the IADQ and adding value for our
members. It is an ambitious plan, and
we will need to move forward in phases
in terms of the types of social media
and of tracking and monitoring.
this report, every decision, every action
is being carried out for one purpose: to
create added value for our members
and contribute to the growth and
development of the Insurance Institute.

Conclusion
I would like to thank all Council members,
our General Manager François Houle, as
well as the permanent staff, instructors
and, of course, our much appreciated
volunteers for their commitment and
hard work. As you can see throughout

IINB and IINS saw an increase in their
CIP students due to some of the
recruitment activities of the local
managers including: surveying students
and visiting employers to determine
their needs and then fulfilling their
needs through appropriate courses.
IINL had a significant increase in
CIP attendance partly due to some
additional marketing activities to CAIB
and licensing students.

A total of 38 seminars were offered this
year in the Atlantic and thanks to the
great topics that were offered, many
were filled to capacity. Seminars were
up significantly over prior period by
17%. Attendance and participation for
the Events organized by all 4 institutes
was up over prior year with many events
sold out.
Attendance at IINS seminars were up
significantly partly due to “Coffee and
Conversation” seminars, aimed primarily
at brokers and offered on a monthly
basis. IIPE and IINL have also joined into
the coffee and conversations webinars
forming a terrific partnership with the
local broker’s association. IINL has also
Atlantic Regional Report

formed a joint seminar committee with
broker’s association resulting in some
terrific seminar topics. IINB offered a
variety of informative topics for their
members. New this year, IINB included
a broker liaison council member to
advise on seminar topics of interest
to the broker community with the
hope to engage this section of the
membership and increase attendance at
their seminars. IIPE held a very popular
seminar sponsored by a local law firm
on the auto legislation changes in PEI
Each Institute held various events,
ranging from golf, curling, softball,
bowling a pub night, wine and cheese,
meet and greets, spring flings and
soirées. Overall, there was a good mix of
networking and charity events.
Convocation Ceremonies held
throughout the Atlantic recognized a
total of 99 graduates and included 11
FCIP, 75 CIP and 13 GIE graduates.
The total number of graduates for
convocations in the Atlantic Institutes
was up over prior year. IINS and IINB
both celebrated their first new track
FCIP graduates.
Some highlights from the past year
include:
•
Full page graduate ads and
newspaper inserts specifically
in New Brunswick
Together the Institutes celebrated
National Education Week by holding
Daily Trivia contests with an average of
569 entries as well as an Atlantic Essay
Contest that drew 18 entries from within
all four provinces.
•
IINS placed two consumer
newspaper ads in the provincial
edition of the Chronicle Herald
•
Promoting the institute programs in
newsletters for all 4 Atlantic Institutes.
•
Attendance at broker conventions
in PEI by the IINB and IINS Institute
managers and council.
CIP Society
As reported earlier, many of the industry
events profile the CIP Society and
the value it provides to our institute
members. This includes the CIP Society
golf tournaments that take place in
most of the western Institutes, meet and
greet /pub night events, and curling and
soft ball tournaments
Promotion of the CIP Society remains at
the forefront for the Atlantic Institutes.

Career Connections
As in prior years, the Atlantic Institutes
continue to expand the ambassador
program with attendance at a number
of career fairs and school presentations.
Local Industry Issues affecting
Institutes
Our Atlantic Institutes have been impacted
or see opportunities to expand delivery
of our programming as a result of:
•
Auto legislation changes in PEI. In
response to the new legislation and
needs from the industry, IIPE held a
sponsored lunch n’ learn seminar.
•
Licensing needs in Nova Scotia
whereby the local council and
manager are exploring the creation
of an on demand exam for agents
and brokers to become licensed
more quickly.
•
New Insurance college program
utilizing CIP materials in New
Brunswick.
•
New licensing fast track courses
held in Newfoundland allowing
folks to prepare for their level 1
license in a shorter time frame.
