Home & Property - Safeguard what is yours

You've already purchased a personal property insurance to protect yourself in the event of a loss. You've made a smart choice! But while insurance coverage can provide peace of mind, it can't prevent loss from occurring. That's why theft and fire prevention - together with your home insurance policy - are the best way to protect your dwelling and your loved ones.

Burglars only need one chance - don't give it to them!

• In Quebec, burglars "visit" one house or apartment every four minutes, and in most cases take just two or three minutes to break in!
• Did you know that...
  • In one in three thefts, the burglar got in through an open or unlocked door.
  • In one in three thefts, the burglar slipped easily through a basement window.
  • In two in three thefts, the burglar didn't even have to break in to commit the crime!

Don't play with fire: think prevention!

• Each year, fires claim many lives and cost thousands of dollars in damage. Many of these tragedies could have been avoided.
• Did you know that...
  • Almost half of installed smoke detectors are not in good operating condition. Even worse, many Quebec homes are still not equipped with smoke detectors!
  • Nearly one in three fires is caused by carelessness or negligent use of a combustible, cooking appliance, or smoking supplies.
  • Mechanical or electrical malfunctions that could have been prevented by simple maintenance are the source of close to one in three fires.

All the more reason to protect yourself well against fire!
