Westland Insurance (Westland), one of Canada’s largest insurance
brokers, has acquired F.A. Smith Insurance Service Ltd. (Smith
Insurance Service), effective August 1. Acquiring Smith Insurance
Service, an Alberta-based brokerage, grows Westland’s presence in
the province and expands its ability to serve more clients in Fort
