• Petsecure – Take Pride in Your Pet at Pride Toronto

    by Petsecure Pet Heath Insurance | Jun 29, 2012
    New this year, Petsecure is sponsoring Pride Toronto to support the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community, June 30 – July 1. As a LAMBDA member (Manitoba’s LGBT Business Chamber), and a LGBT friendly company, we'll be bringing awareness of responsible pet ownership to this community to benefit pets and pet parents across the board.

    As a sponsor of Pride Toronto, we will have a booth at the Pride Toronto events, where we'll provide helpful information on pet health insurance and responsible pet ownership. Signature ‘Pride’ dog and cat bandanas will also be handed out. 

    “By reaching diverse communities and demonstrating our support, we can ensure that more pet owners are informed on the benefits of pet health insurance,” states Bill Skubovius, Vice President of Business Development at Petsecure. 

    Petsecure supports a diverse workforce and culture with their employees. This opens up opportunities to reach different audiences, gaining a better understanding of what’s important to them.

    “The Board of Winnipeg’s GLBT LAMBDA group is incredibly excited to see Petsecure sponsoring Toronto Pride!  The Board of LAMBDA knows of the commitment to diversity and inclusion as core values of Petsecure as an organization dedicated to working with the GLBTQ community and its allies.  Congratulations and Happy Pride in Toronto!”said Chad Smith who sits on the LAMBDA Board of Directors.

    We were also a sponsor of Pride Winnipeg on June 3, which had a great turn-out and was very successful in reaching many pet parents. There are over 8,000,000 dogs and cats in Canada, and only about 1.5% are covered with pet health insurance.

    If you're at the events, come check out our booth and say hello!!
