2025 Emergency Preparedness Week Contest
This contest is now over. Thank you to all who entered IBAS's 2025 Emergency Preparedness Week Contest, presented in partnership with Saskatoon Disaster Services DKI. The winner of The Ultimate Backyard Summer Prize Pack is Joanne Bridgewater of HK Henderson Insurance.
As insurance brokers, you know first-hand that disaster can strike anytime, anywhere — a once-in-a-generation flood, an out-of-control wildfire, or some other emergency that rattles an entire community to its core. Helping others be ready for the unexpected is not only a big part of the job — it’s a collective part of our civic responsibility.
To help mark 2025 Emergency Preparedness Week across Canada, May 4 – 10, IBAS has teamed up with Saskatoon Disaster Services DKI to spark a conversation on the importance of disaster mitigation.
We want to know: What is the best or most underrated advice you’ve given a client to prepare them for a potential disaster?
For each response, we will donate $10 to the Ronald McDonald House in Saskatchewan — up to $5,000! The best submissions will be entered into our grand prize draw for the Ultimate Backyard Summer Prize Pack (valued at more than $5,100) and could even be published in the fall edition of SaskBroker Magazine.
