History

Established in 1903.

What began in 1903 as McCallum Hill and Company has grown into Harvard Western Insurance, the largest Saskatchewan-owned insurance brokerage. We have never forgotten our roots. Those early days taught us an important lesson: insurance is not just about policies and premiums. It is about people and keeping promises. Our journey through the decades has been built on meaningful local partnerships and thoughtful growth across the province of Saskatchewan.
