Western Financial launches benefits program with RAIC

Western Financial Group  partnered with the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada to launch the RAIC Group Benefits Program for architectural firms across Canada.

The program offers group benefits coverage tailored for RAIC member firms, with a focus on affordability, flexibility, and administrative simplicity. According to the announcement, eligible firms will have access to a pooled benefits model designed to help manage costs and reduce exposure to rate volatility over time.

The offering was developed to address workforce and cost pressures facing architectural practices, many of which operate as small businesses competing for talent.

“This partnership represents our shared focus on supporting a national professional community. Architectural firms face unique workforce and cost pressures, and this program is designed to deliver immediate value while providing the predictability and flexibility businesses need to plan for the future, without compromising on coverage or care.” – Grant Ostir, CEO of Western Financial Group.
