Message from Jim Brownlee, Vice-President, Managing General Agency Partnerships | | Welcome to 2020 and the new Canada Life™! Just days ago, Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life amalgamated. We are now The Canada Life Assurance Company. This is the last step in our journey to become one company. But, our journey as Canada Life is just beginning. The year has started off strong, with some great product enhancements, including our new par products – and there are more great things to come! We look forward to what lies ahead; working in partnership with you, leading to future growth, innovation and continuing to deliver value to Canadians. |
