ABOUT US

 

This is an exciting year for McCAM Insurance as we are quickly approaching our centenary. This year represents our 97th year serving the Durham Region. Our firm, McCAM Insurance Brokers Limited was formed in 1971. Its roots began with McMurtry Insurance in 1913. From this beginning, progress has been accomplished through hard work and acquisitions of various agencies, progressions being:
 
Murdoch Insurance Founded in 1927
O.E. Crawford Insurance Agency Founded in 1942
Frank E Turney Insurance Agency Founded in 1946
Murdoch, McMurtry, and Turney Insurance Agency Founded in 1964
Murdoch, McMurtry, Arscott, and Crawford Founded in 1971
McCAM Insurance Brokers Limited Founded in 1980
 
Continued growth in the general insurance field was sustained by the purchase of the following agencies:
E.V. Lander
Frank Evans
Wolfe M. Miller
Donald H. Howe
James Potticary
Stanley F. Everson
Ralph Vickery
Andy Suwala
John Wacko
Ed Disney
L.E. Nelson
Tom Webster
Keith D Barr
Allan Downs
 
This has resulted in our firm becoming a major factor in the marketing of general insurance, and one of the largest general insurance brokerages in the Oshawa area.
 
In 1978 Colin McIntosh joined the firm. In 1991 he became President. In 2010 Colin's son Rorie McIntosh became President.

We believe professionalism and education are an important part of our job, and belonging to these organizations makes insurance brokers more effective at helping clients with their insurance needs.
