Intact Public Entities is a leader in providing specialized insurance programs, including risk management and claims services to municipal, public administration and community service organizations across Canada. Proven industry knowledge, gained through over nine decades of partnering with insurance companies and independent brokers, gives Intact Public Entities the ability to effectively manage the necessary risk, advisory and claims services for both standard and complex issues. Our history dates back to 1927 with our first municipal client - the Village of Ayr, Ontario. From then, other municipalities came calling and the company established the strong foundation and sterling reputation that continues today. Interestingly, our product offering was expanded beyond municipal business based on reputation. Other municipal-related organizations started to be asked to be placed with us because of our knowledge in the specialty insurance space. The trend continued and it became common for the municipality, hospital, Childrens Aid Society and conservation authority to all be placed wtih Intact Public Entities. Intact Public Entities is a Managing General Agent (MGA) with the authority to write and service business on behalf of strategic partners who share our commitment and dedication to protecting specialized organizations. Because our partners are long-term participants on our program, they understand the nature of fluctuating market conditions and complex claims and are prepared to stay the course. Intact Public Entities is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intact Financial Corporation.
