In 1875, early Mennonite newcomers to Manitoba settled on farms in hamlets that didn’t receive financial protection from fires on their operations, leaving them exposed to potential losses. Instead of individually taking on the risks, the community farmers shared funds to provide emergency financial assistance. They became their own mutual aid organization, which eventually became an insurance company, Red River Mutual. This year marks Red River Mutual’s 150th year of protecting our prairie communities. “Leading our company through this milestone anniversary is a true privilege,” says Red River Mutual President & CEO, Brenda Gibson CPA, CA, CIP. “This achievement is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and collective spirit of our teams over the past 150 years and our ability to remain adaptable and agile through change.” Not unlike 150 years ago, there are newcomers joining our established communities, setting down their own roots, and sharing their stories with us. For our 150th anniversary, we are celebrating these connections, through initiatives focused on acknowledging our well-established roots in the insurance industry and continuing the support of growth and resilience within our prairie communities. Keep an eye out on our social media and www.redrivermutual.com for more information on how you can join us throughout the year!
