by Scott A. Sumner
Pat Bushby is the Chair of the Board of Trillium Mutual Insurance Company, a P&C insurer from southwestern Ontario with a focus on farm, agriculture and rural communities. He recently made a presentation of a 25K donation to the RFDA Capital Campaign.
“ Thunder Bay has been on our radar screen for future business development. Trillium Mutual began as farmers who banded together to protect each others assets from loss due to fire. Today the P&C Insurer services large farms and agricultural operations as well as commercial and personal lines. The key in the mutual space is that the Company is owned by the policyholders and we continue to focus on protecting each other. Trillium also has a strong focus on Corporate Social Responsibility through its internal Roots foundation. Roots supports the success of communities and people with a focus on sustainable agricultural, food security health and culture.”said Pat Bushby. “Trillium Mutual wanted to support the RFDA because it is a great fit for us. The ROOTS foundation looks at projects that match our vision supporting rural communities, agriculture and a sustainable food future. We look for these opportunities and review hundreds of applications. The RFDA applied and their proposal was really well received and I was glad to help make the connection.”
The 25K donation will go towards the RFDA capital campaign.
“ The RFDA has built an excellent facility. We especially appreciate the kitchen facilities and the vision of what they are going to do with it. We really need to build food security, and sustainability in the North including teaching people how to prepare and preserve for self sufficiency.”
