Western Financial Group Shares Expert Insights During CTV Ottawa's Financial Fitness Week
As the proud sponsor of CTV Morning Live Ottawa’s recent “Financial Fitness Week,” our very own Mark Creelman joined Morning Live host Rosie Edeh for a lively and insightful conversation about how Canadians can better protect what matters most to them, including their financial well-being.
Mark shared expert advice on often-overlooked types of insurance that can make a big difference in times of need:
- Disability Insurance: Many people assume their workplace coverage is enough, but that’s not always the case. Mark emphasized the importance of meeting with an advisor to assess your personal needs — especially since employer plans often don’t cover partial disabilities or higher income earners adequately.
- Critical Illness Insurance: This coverage provides a tax-free lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, heart attack, or stroke. It’s designed to reduce financial stress during recovery, helping with everything from medical costs to time off work.
- Segregated Funds: These investment products offer mutual fund-like growth with added insurance protection. They’re ideal for business owners, retirees, and blended families looking for creditor protection and estate planning benefits.
Mark’s message was clear: understanding your insurance options and speaking with a broker can help ensure you’re covered in a way that truly fits your life.
