CAA Club Group - Board of Directors

CAA Club Group of Companies ( CCG ) is comprised of two automobile clubs, CAA South Central Ontario and CAA Manitoba, providing roadside assistance, travel, insurance, advocacy and savings for over 2.

6 million Members. It also includes the CAA Insurance Company, a property and casualty insurance company; Echelon Insurance (which also includes Orion Travel Insurance), a specialty insurer;

and CCG Advisory Services, offering life and living insurance solutions. CAA Insurance and Orion Travel Insurance products are distributed through CAA Clubs and select brokerages while Echelon Insurance products are distributed through an extensive network of more than 465 brokers across the country.

CCG is part of the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), a federation of eight independent Clubs across Canada serving over six million members.

CCG has significantly evolved and expanded over the years. With the merger of CAA South Central Ontario with CAA Manitoba in 2016, they became known as CAA Club Group.

The partnership reflected the successful and growing attributes of the organization. CCG’s property and casualty insurance has extended from serving just Ontario to providing a suite of products in many parts of Canada.

In 2019, Echelon Insurance was welcomed into the CCG family. A key player in the specialty insurance market, Echelon’s addition to CCG’s suite of products and services further expanded CCG’s reach and ability to add value to the day-to-day lives of Canadians no matter their stage of life and to many Canadian small and medium businesses.
