**The Company**

CapriCMW is a uniquely independent, employee-owned insurance and risk management company, recognized as one of Canada’s top commercial insurance brokers.

We provide general insurance services for commercial property, liability, professional and executive liability, construction and contract surety bonding, and auto. Our clients are B.C. based and often with international operations.

**We Are Growing**

CapriCMW has recently merged with Rogers Insurance and will be known as Acera Insurance. The merger combines the strength and stability of two award-winning independent and employee-controlled companies, consolidating a wide range of professional expertise and decades of experience in insurance, risk management and group benefits. With 1,000 employees located in over 50 offices across Alberta, BC, Ontario and the Yukon, along with $1 billion in gross written premium, we’re positioned to be a leading national insurance brokerage with deep roots in the local communities which we continue to serve.
