Historically, Waterloo Region was as much built upon the hard work ethic of Mennonite heritage as it was upon an insurance industry with deep roots. Waterloo Region is home to over 12 major insurance operations, employing over 7,000 people.Sun Life Assurance of Canada, Manulife Financial, The Economical Life Insurance, Equitable Life Insurance, Waterloo Lutheran Life and Gore Mutual Insurance are some of the large insurance companies in the area, many of which have been located in Canada’s Technology Triangle for more than a century.

Prominent financial and professional service firms are increasingly choosing the Canada’s Technology Triangle as the location for their Southwestern Ontario headquarters. The Bank of Montreal, Ernst & Young, Deloitte, KPMG, Stantec Engineering, Toronto Dominion Bank and Rogers Wireless oversee regional operations from a Waterloo Region base. Major law firms have awakened to opportunity and made Waterloo part of their national network, including Gowlings, Miller Thomson, Borden Ladner Gervais and Bereskin & Parr.
