Johnston Group is a full-service Third Party Administrator and Payer with over $600 million in premiums currently under administration. We provide employee benefit solutions to 30,000 Canadian businesses and 250,000 plan members. We know our service is what separates us from the competition, so as we innovate and offer new programs to clients, we’re going to continue to listen first, stay flexible and put in the extra effort to make sure they feel like part of our family. We see a future where good businesses are not passed around between insurers, but instead have a partner with a “chair in their office” – someone they can count on to help take care of their employees in the best way possible.

Community

Insurance is a community at its core: a group comes together to pool resources, so that
if any one member needs help, the group’s resources are available to them. We are a philanthropic organization and give generously to people and organizations – not for fame or accolades, but because we can afford to be generous in a community that we love.
