Group Health Benefits
ARE YOU AN EMPLOYER LOOKING FOR
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PACKAGES?
Many employers assume that Canadian group health plans are too expensive, but with the right structure and guidance, comprehensive coverage can be both practical and cost-effective.
Based in British Columbia and serving businesses across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, Shelter Bay Financial Corp. helps employers design group health plans tailored to their team’s needs and budget. We work with leading Canadian insurers to provide competitive options and clear recommendations, ensuring your employees have access to the health coverage they need. From plan design and quoting to implementation, our team manages the process efficiently so your group health plan can be put in place quickly and smoothly.
BOOSTS EMPLOYEE MORALE
Offering group health benefits demonstrates that you value your employees’ wellbeing. Comprehensive health coverage not only supports their physical and mental health, but can also strengthen morale, improve retention, and help your business remain competitive when attracting talent.
DRIVE EMPLOYEES TO YOUR BUSINESS
The fact that you highlight that you offer health and dental insurance coverage in your job postings is enough to attract people to apply for the position. Many Canadians cannot afford to go without, so they’ll feel more comfortable applying for your role and see that you care about their health and helping them in their time of need.
It's Easy
Purchasing a group health plan doesn’t have to be complicated — and it can actually be more cost-effective when done for a group. Working with a benefits consultant gives you access to a variety of coverage options and competitive rates, rather than being limited to a single insurer. We survey the Canadian market and recommend the best solutions for your business, ensuring your employees receive the coverage they need at a price that makes sense.
IT'S CHEAPER THAN YOU THINK
The cost of group benefits can be higher for smaller teams, but there’s a way to provide comprehensive coverage without stretching your budget. Our experienced insurance brokers leverage volume purchasing to secure competitive rates on group health and dental plans, helping you save money while still offering your employees the benefits they value most.
WHICH Health SERVICES
WILL BE COVERED?
While it will largely depend on why type of Canadian health insurance plan you purchase or what type of treatment you want to be covered, plans may cover the following:
- Prescription drug coverage
- Hospital accommodation (semi-private or private room upgrades)
- Paramedical services (physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, naturopath, etc.)
- Mental health services (psychologists, counsellors, social workers)
- Medical equipment and supplies (orthotics, braces, CPAP machines, wheelchairs, etc.)
- Ambulance services
- Out-of-country emergency medical coverage
- Vision care (eye exams, glasses, contact lenses)

My life insurance policy requires the beneficiary to be stated in an exact and unique manner. i researched many policies with several licensed agents throughout Canada. The only person who sincerely listened understandingly to my odd situation is at Shelter Bay. Their agent took the time, and the extra effort, to accommodate my need, and to script the policy in the correct and legal words. He is the only agent who was willing to listen to my story in full, and to completely understand that although my need went beyond the standard normal there was indeed a perfect policy for me.Posted on Andre DaigneaultTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
