Insurance Terminology - Collision Coverage Collision coverage may seem self-explanatory, but here's a breakdown of how this coverage works: You’re in an accident. It’s your fault. In this case, Collision is the same as DCPD (Direct Compensation-Property Damage), except you’ll have to absorb the cost of your deductible. ... Deductible is the amount you self-insure. Deductibles also reduce the number of very small but costly claims, which drive up costs for everybody. If someone hits your vehicle but doesn’t stick around, that also goes under Collision. Have questions about your policy or coverage? Feel free to reach out. 905-690-1132 [email protected]

Remember when our parents used to say "Don't touch that thermostat! Just put on a sweater!" Turns out they may have been onto something. Yesterday (January 10th) was Cut Energy Costs Day, and it seemed like an extra-appropriate topic to discuss as Old Man Winter takes hold here in Ontario. Whether you rent or own, making small changes around your home during the winter months can have a big impact on your monthly heating costs, and the environment. ... So, go put on that sweater!

The beginning of a new year often feels like a fresh start and signals a shift in mindset that gets many people thinking about life insurance. The pandemic has impacted us in so many ways, but life insurance is one way you may not have considered. Unlike auto insurance, life insurance isn’t mandated as an all-comers product and it’s entirely possible to have a health change (like a positive COVID diagnosis) that forever prevents you from being able to obtain an adequate amoun...t of life insurance. If you have questions about your existing insurance coverage, or would like to discuss putting coverage in place, feel free to reach out. 905-690-1132 [email protected]

THE MANZER BLOG - Reading As a Resolution One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to read more. I have always been a big reader, even since childhood. In an average year I’ll read anywhere from 25-40 books. Over the years, I’ve learned not just how to read more, but how to become a BETTER reader. So I took some time over the holidays to outline some of the things I’ve learned along the way about becoming a better reader. ... Enjoy! https://bit.ly/3mUGmXq
