Western’s CEO Scott Tannas said “We are cautiously optimistic about 2010. While signs of growth have been emerging in many communities, we still see areas of the West that are not yet moving forward. Therefore, we believe that same store sales growth in 2010 will be modest at the Network. We expect a good year ahead for Western Life in top and bottom line growth. At Bank West, we believe that credit quality will steadily improve from levels sustained in the second half of 2009.” Western Financial Group is a leader in providing insurance, financial services and banking services in over 90 communities, to more than 500,000 individuals and businesses in Western Canada through its Network locations, its affiliated insurance brokers, Western Life Assurance Company, Bank West, and The Common Shares of Western Financial Group are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “WES”.
