“We are excited to announce a partnership with Westland Insurance which is a very real and tangible investment in people and our communities,” said Sandy Hopkins, CEO of Habitat for Humanity-Manitoba. “Westland has grown to become the largest independent, Canadian-owned brokerage in the country, but it’s also one that has maintained a focus on its people, clients and communities it serves, as evidenced by today’s announcement. Westland has made a financial commitment of $50,000 to HFH-Manitoba. We are thrilled to be a part of this cause and it has all been made possible since establishing our Amplifying communities initiative.
