Avid Insurance Group

At Avid Insurance Group, we are proud to be a Northern Insurance specialist, advocating for fairness and excellence in the insurance industry. With our headquarters in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, and satellite offices in Nunavut and Saskatchewan, we have been dedicated to providing top-notch commercial and personal insurance services to our clients since 2003.

Our commitment to staying up-to-date with market conditions and changes in the Northern market has enabled us to provide our clients with the most current and complete insurance products available. We take pride in being the only Nunavummi Nangminiqaqtunik Ikajuuti (NNI) registered insurance brokerage in Nunavut, which allows us to keep northern business in the North.

Our Services

We offer a wide range of commercial and personal insurance services, including commercial property and casualty, aviation, oilfield, agriculture, marine protection indemnity, well head liability, cargo, trucking, mining, and specialty products. Our team of experienced brokers, led by Todd Douglas Schwindt and Carla Leah Schwindt, has over 30 years of experience in writing business across Western Canada and the Arctic. We understand the unique needs of our clients and tailor our services to meet their specific requirements.

Our Commitment to Community

We believe in giving back to the community and supporting local initiatives. We are proud to host an annual charity golf tournament in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, with proceeds going towards the Northern Breakfast Program in many Arctic communities. We also support community development and youth initiatives, which strengthens our bonds with our clients and helps keep local communities strong.

Our History

Our roots date back to 1946, when Herman and Nettie Silzer opened H Silzer Insurance in Pangman, Saskatchewan. Over the years, we have grown and evolved, but our core values of tradition, service, and professionalism have remained the same. We are now a 4th generation insurance broking office, dedicated to providing exceptional service to our clients while maintaining focus on our growth as a company and as individuals.
