THIA 2025 Annual General Meeting

MARK YOUR CALENDAR

In 2025, the Annual General Meeting of members of the Travel Health Insurance Association of Canada will be held on Thursday, September 11 at The National Club in downtown Toronto. A light breakfast will be served at 9AM and the meeting will begin at 9:45AM. Confirmation of the agenda and formal notice of the meeting will be provided closer to the date.

We are delighted to advise that the AGM will include two speakers, one of whom is confirmed:

Ken Fraser, President, Fraser Group

He has designed a wide variety of market research initiatives as well as advising on marketing strategy, pricing, and expense management. Ken will share the findings of the THIA Travel Claims Survey conducted this year.

You will recall that the objectives for our Claims Survey initiative are to:

• Enhance the stature of THIA as an authoritative source of information on travel insurance in the eyes of regulators and the public;
• Provide additional value to THIA members;
• Improve the value proposition of THIA for prospective members;
• Provide benchmarking data to participating insurers.
