The company said it is aware of the challenges its clients are grappling with due to the severe weather event and has committed to providing the necessary support and assistance.

To address the situation, iA Financial mobilized all available teams and resources. Pierre Miron, executive vice president and chief growth officer of Canadian operations, emphasized the firm’s dedication to its clients during this difficult period.

“Our priority is to provide our clients the support they need in these trying times,” Miron said. “All our teams at iA Auto and Home are working tirelessly to meet our clients’ needs as quickly as possible, given the high call volumes.
