Our history

Our Quebec City, Lévis, Trois-Rivières and Saint-Georges SFL Wealth Management offices been growing, innovating and building unrivaled expertise for over 65 years.

 

Antoine Parent takes the helm of Union du Commerce, which will merge with Laurentian Life in 1970. Parent sets the vision for the Québec-Montcalm agency, our present-day Quebec City office.

It wins Agency of the Year in its first year under Parent and goes on to win it another 28 times, becoming one of the most prestigious agencies in the network and the insurance industry at large.

Yvan Boisvert and René Moisan are appointed co-managers of Québec-Montcalm. Their goal is to incorporate financial planning into the service offer, which will become the agency’s calling card. Meanwhile Richard Pépin is running the Québec Laurier agency, which isn’t directly owned by Laurentian but has an exclusive agreement to distribute its products.

Desjardins Life Assurance becomes Desjardins-Laurentian Life Assurance, and the SFL centre business model is established. Québec-Montcalm on Boulevard Hamel merges with Québec la Cité on Saint-Amable and becomes Cité de Montcalm.

Cité de Montcalm becomes an independent centre and acquires one centre in Quebec City and two in Trois-Rivières. The Québec Laurier agency is bought by the De La Capitale centre. Michel Landry, Charles-Étienne Giguère and Jean-Pierre Durand are appointed to lead Cité de Montcalm.

The De La Capitale centre merges with the Lévis-Appalaches centre and becomes SFL Des Deux Rives.

Durand retires, leaving Yvan Boisvert, Michel Landry and Maxime Boucher in charge of Cité de Montcalm.

Cité de Montcalm, which has a history of bringing in fresh talent, names four new assistant managers: Jimmy Bouchard, Stéphanie Caron, Thomas Jolin and Philippe Vézina.
