Based in the small town of Drayton, Edge Mutual Insurance Company has roots that date back to 1887 when the company was formed by farmers in Peel and Maryborough Townships. Back then, the goal was to provide insurance protection to area farmers from the threat of fire. More importantly, as a mutual company owned and directed by the policyholders, area farmers could acquire the fire insurance at a reasonable price from people they knew and trusted - their own neighbours. Today, the company is still owned and directed by the policyholders and the company still strives to provide the best service possible for area residents. Policyholders enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that, if disaster should happen to strike, they can turn to a local company who knows and understands their needs. Edge Mutual Insurance has grown significantly and now provides HOME, AUTO, FARM, and COMMERCIAL insurance through a wide network of insurance brokers across Ontario. Although Edge Mutual is and independent company, it has the financial backing of 42 other mutual insurance companies. The mutual network is known as ONTARIO MUTUALS and it is among the most financially strong insurance networks anywhere in the world.
