Josslin Insurance Brokers Ltd. and Gore Mutual Insurance Company have joined forces to benefit Strong Start®. The Waglers of Josslin Insurance, working with Cyrus Taghizadah, Brokers Relations Manager at Gore Mutual, proposed a team approach to Kevin McNeil, President and CEO of Gore Mutual. Kevin was immediately supportive. Together, the two firms accomplished a substantial increase in their financial investment in the Strong Start® literacy project.
We were honoured to have Don and Scott Wagler (Josslin Insurance) and Kevin McNeil, Cyrus Tagizadah and Jennifer Crow (Gore Mutual) as guests at the Franklin Public School Strong Start® Celebration in June for the cheque presentation. The two companies create a dynamic duo that will be further recognized for their support at Grandview P.S. and Forest Glen P.S. in New Hamburg, Baden P.S. in Baden, John Mahood P.S. in Elmira and Franklin P.S. in Kitchener. Josslin and Gore truly care about the communities they serve and we thank them for understanding the wisdom of investing in the young child!
