Western Financial Group, recognized as one of Canada’s best insurance brokers, recently marked an important milestone in Saint John, New Brunswick, celebrating the successful integration of Huestis Insurance. This achievement strengthens Western’s position as a trusted choice for those searching for the best insurance broker in Canada and the best insurance broker in the Maritimes.
The December 2 grand opening event brought together community leaders including Saint John Mayor Donna Reardon, local businesses, and team members from across the region to recognize this milestone and the shared values that unite both organizations.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was more than a business event, it was a celebration of commitment to service excellence and community care. Western Financial Group CEO Grant Ostir reflected on the occasion, noting, “Our goal is simple: to make insurance easier, more caring, and more accessible for Canadians. We’re proud to carry forward the Huestis legacy with the same values: loyalty, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility to the communities we serve.”
David Huestis, Founder of Huestis Insurance Group, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the integration represents a shared purpose. “Western and Huestis have always prioritized doing what’s right for our customers, our communities, and our people,” he said. “This launch reflects our mutual commitment to service excellence, local relationships, and giving back.”
As part of the celebration, the Western Communities Foundation announced a $15,000 donation to IWK Health Centre, the largest pediatric hospital in the Maritimes and a leading trauma center for women, children, and families. This contribution underscores Western’s ongoing dedication to supporting health and well-being in the communities it serves.
The event in Saint John highlighted what makes Western unique: a coast-to-coast presence rooted in local relationships and a culture of care. For Canadians looking for Canada’s best insurance broker, Western Financial Group continues to deliver trusted advice, exceptional service, and a broad range of insurance solutions through its national network.
At Western Financial Group, giving back isn’t just part of our culture, it’s who we are. This celebration was a reminder that when we come together with shared values and a commitment to community, we create something truly meaningful.
