We know this Christmas will be different, and difficult for many of our clients who are used to travelling at this time of year. To help bring up everyone’s spirits this holiday season we want to help shed light on some of the good things happening in the communities we serve.

Today we are sharing this wonderful wildlife sponsorship program being offered by Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue. This rescue operates out of Durham region and takes in sick, injured and orphaned wildlife, providing rehabilitation before releasing the animal back to the wilderness. If you have the means to do so, please consider sponsoring an animal and supporting the excellent work this rescue does. You will get a stuffed animal of your choice as well as additional opportunities for wildlife encounters depending on the sponsorship program you choose. A great gift for the children or grandchildren in your life, whether they be of the fur, or human variety!

ANIMAL SPONSORSHIPS NOW AVAILABLE!

Looking for a unique Christmas gift, birthday present or just to support wildlife?

Are you a snowbird? We read some good news today!

Medical travel insurance is now being offered again by some providers for those who choose to travel. We understand that the decision to travel is intensely personal for each and every person, and we are posting this link merely for informational purposes for our clients who are contemplating traveling in the next 6 months. The article linked covers many viewpoints, but also includes information that we feel could be useful to our clientele.

We wish you all continued good health, and we hope to be of service to you, as safely as possible, whenever you may need us.

Several insurance providers and airlines are lining up to offer travellers COVID-19 medical coverage, despite Canada's advisory to avoid non-essential travel abroad.
