Our Expertise

Bonnie Whipple

As a licensed life insurance broker, I assist individuals and business owners to enhance and protect their lifestyle through the use of health, wealth and life benefits.  I offer personalized service and research the most appropriate options from many different companies to meet your specific needs.   My clients are life-long associates and you can be assured that you will be provided with sufficient detail to ensure that any recommendation is one that you are comfortable with.  

I especially like to provide information to anyone inquiring about insurance that might work for them.  Your first visit is always complementary and I enjoy discussing  possible solutions with you.  From that first visit I take the time to research the best possible solution that is the most appropriate and cost effective in your unique circumstances.  My background has been one based in public service and you can depend on me to provide informative, straight forward, and honest advice.

I specialize in life insurance, mortgage insurance, disability, health and dental, critical illnesss, travel insurance, group insurance, long term care insurance, and other benefits.  My clients are business owners, home owners, and people who understand the importance of protecting themselves and their family.

I was born and raised on Vancouver Island and graduated from the University of Victoria.  Most sunny days you can find me spending some time riding my horse in the local trails, or planning an activity that involves the equestrian community.  It always amazes me how beautiful a place that we live in and that there are so many outdoor activities to pursue...I am working on a few.

Call or email me a question...I'd be happy to discuss your requirements for insurance.

My mission as your Life and Health Insurance Advisor is to enhance your financial we-being through life, health and wealth benefits.  Through my association with the Daystar Financial Group I have access to a variety of products that will provide many comprehensive solutions for your needs.

My Competence

I have been dual licensed for both life and general insurance products since 1985 (offered through Parksville Insurance Ltd.)  During that time aside from taking many insurance courses, I have obtained by BA and MALA in Western Philosophy with a specialty in ethics.

My social commitments

In my spare time I am active in the alumni association of Vancouver Island University.  My hobbies include research into my family tree which has now reached over 900 lives.

How I distinguish myself from my peers as an advisor

My strength as your advisor is my ability to combine your life and general insurance needs so that there is no overlap.  I consider myself a professional student and actually enjoy the research needed to stay on top of the changes in the market.  Why should you do the work when I have already done it?
