Six areas this team knows inside and out.

These are the segments our four specialists came to the conference to talk about — the risks they write, structure, and place every day. Want a deeper look at any of them?

Natural Resources

Specialized coverage for Canada's resource sector — forestry, mining, and oil & gas operations. Built to handle the risk profiles standard markets walk away from, with the underwriting expertise to write where others won't.

Life Sciences

Specialized professional and product liability for life sciences operators — biotech, pharma, medical devices, and clinical trials. A space where coverage is hard to come by and underwriting expertise matters as much as appetite.

SPG Canada writes specialty risks across an extensive range of commercial and personal lines — from cyber and life sciences to hospitality, marine, transportation, and beyond. If your risk isn't on this page, it doesn't mean we don't write it.
