e initially conceptualized a national issue of this mag
when mergers and acquisitions were heating up earlier
this year. It appears we had no idea how hot it would
get-M&A is easily on track for a record-breaking year in Ontario.
And it's only August.
We're seeing a handful of large brokerages acquire smaller,
more local businesses, which parallels what's happening across
other industries, countries and microcosms of society. It's
progress at a price.

For Ontario Brokerages, it means the expansion to sell in other
provinces, work with other carriers and offer clients more
solutions. It also means a diminishing number of locally owned
and operated brokerages. For Brokerage of the Year, McFarlan
Rowlands, it meant a partnership with McDougall Insurance,
backed by Definity Financial. While they remain independent
operationally, they've joined the nationalization of this industry.

For those interested in expanding their reach, we've brought
together the leaders and supporters of our provincial broker
associations to share the distinctive features, regulatory changes
and licensing requirements unique to their province. We've
also highlighted the national issues our industry faces, ways to
support Canadian artists, CanCon you shouldn't miss and the best
poutine recipe we've ever tried. Enjoy.
