On July 1, we once again celebrated Canada Day, a statutory holiday across the country that commemorates the unification in 1867 of the colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a single country called the Dominion of Canada.
For typical Canadians, July 1 is a time to get together with friends and family and enjoy all that this country has to offer. It is doubtful many Ontarians gave much thought to their auto insurance policies on that day. And why would they? People typically don’t think about insurance until it is time to renew their policy or if they need to make a claim. However, for those who may not have realized it, Canada Day marked the implementation of a significant change in Ontario’s auto insurance system.
