Welcome to the Team Keyes Insurance

Here we grow! We are happy to announce that McDougall Insurance has successfully merged with Keyes Insurance in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Keyes is McDougall’s first Atlantic Canadian office, and represents a significant moment for our organization’s national ambitions.

Keyes is a multi-generational family brokerage that has established itself over 45 years as a premier Halifax business and will seamlessly fit into our culture. We are delighted to welcome them to the McDougall family. With a shared commitment to putting customers first, this deal elevates our ability to serve our collective communities, clients and staff.

“We have always grown by partnering with insurance brokerages across Canada that share our core values,” said Ross McDougall, CEO of McDougall Insurance, “Keyes fits that bill perfectly. Their family roots, commitment to exceptional customer service, and dedication to their community align seamlessly with how we operate. They are the perfect partner to bring what we do to Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Atlantic Canada.”
McDougall is also pleased to announce that Shaun Keyes, President of Keyes, will retain his role at his family business while taking on the additional responsibility of growing McDougall in Atlantic Canada.

“This is a proud moment for me and everyone at Keyes,” said Shaun, “This partnership significantly increases our expertise in commercial insurance, specifically construction, real estate, and manufacturing. Adding offerings like these, risk management services, and specialty underwriting, as well as increasing our market access, will help us grow and strengthen what we offer to our clients, our staff, and the region we proudly serve as a premiere Atlantic Canadian commercial and personal insurance brokerage.”
Together, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of professionalism and customer service that Keyes’ clients have come to expect.
