ICBC is coming to Kelowna. Join the Chamber as we host ICBC President and CEO Jason McDaniel on Thursday October 8 at the Four Points by Sheraton. Jason has a compelling story to tell about how ICBC touches nearly everyone’s lives in B.C. at some point. Automobiles, trucks, ebikes, scooters, vulnerable road users, school zones, financial and insurance agents, health care; auto mechanics, body repair shops – overseeing the scope of the operations is a mammoth undertaking.
Come hear the stories, and review the data. Jason will be introduced by local business person Rick Wright, the Mitsubishi dealer (Valley Mitsubishi) in Kelowna, who is on the board of directors of the New Car Dealers Association. Jason will also talk about continuous improvement in the services ICBC delivers to the City of Kelowna in order to meet the evolving needs of our rapidly expanding Okanagan community.

This initiative greatly improved affordability and recovery benefits, resulting in better car insurance for everyone in British Columbia.
