Who We Are

The IBAWR is the Waterloo Region affiliate of the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO) – a non-profit professional business association for independent insurance brokers representing the province of Ontario.

The IBAWR has been around for over 80 years and we are one of the largest and most active affiliates in Ontario. In addition to our monthly member meetings, we support our community through a number of initiatives. Our charitable contributions include: funding 2 sponsorships every year for students in various insurance programs, food drive and hat/glove donations to local charities, an annual golf tournament and community awareness events.

We are fortunate to live in a great community. The IBAWR is run by a board of directors, who volunteer their time to promote the insurance broker channel. Also, we would not be able to run without support from our insurance company sponsors, restoration contractors, autobody shops and car rental companies.
