CapriCMW Insurance Acquires New Office Location in Whitehorse, Yukon

January 13, 2020 – CapriCMW Insurance Services Ltd., one of Western Canada’s leading independent insurance brokerages, announced today its expansion into the Yukon Territory with the acquisition of a new office located at 201 - 9016 Quartz Road in Whitehorse.

As part of this acquisition from Aon Reed Stenhouse Inc., this longstanding office with its experienced team of insurance professionals will begin operating as CapriCMW effective March 2, 2020. It is CapriCMW’s sixteenth location in Canada and its first outside of BC and Ontario.

“We are thrilled to be welcoming Greg and Dayna Woodford and the Whitehorse team to the CapriCMW family,” said Andrew Kemp, President of CapriCMW. “They bring substantial industry and regional expertise that will help us deliver even more value to our clients, employees, industry partners and communities.”

There will be no change to the day-to-day operations of the Whitehorse office. Clients can expect the same direct, personal service from the same dedicated staff. Service will not be disrupted and existing processes will not change.

This development is another step for CapriCMW towards achieving more scale and capabilities, to better serve their clients' insurance and risk management needs nationwide, and further reinforce their position as one of the largest independent insurance brokerages in Western Canada.
