ONTARIO, FEBRUARY 5, 2025/insPRESS/ – Caradoc Townsend Mutual, Grenville Mutual, and Lambton Mutual have signed a pre-amalgamation agreement, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership to enhance their service offerings while preserving strong local ties. This proposed amalgamation brings together mutuals from across Ontario, each with a longstanding dedication to their communities and a commitment to high-quality, personalized insurance solutions.

The proposed amalgamation is subject to approval from each company’s policyholders, regulatory approval by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA), and the consent of the companies’ partners: the Ontario Mutual Insurance Association (OMIA), Farm Mutual Reinsurance Plan Inc. (Farm Mutual Re), and the Trustees of the Fire Mutuals Guarantee Fund.
