GUELPH, ON, July 3, 2018 /CNW/ - Today, The Co-operators was awarded the highest ranking of the 2018 J.D. Power Canada Home Insurance study for overall customer satisfaction in Western Canada and was ranked second in the Atlantic/Ontario region.

"Our clients are at the centre of everything we do, and these results show the dedication that our staff and advisors put in to every interaction. We continuously strive to meet and exceed client expectations year after year."

Awarded J.D. Power's highest overall rating in its Power Circle Ratings, The Co-operators is ranked "among the best" in Canada for home insurance. It has seen an increase in its overall satisfaction index score from the previous year, ranking among the top three in each of the five study factors in the Western region and top three in four of the five in the Atlantic/Ontario regions.
