Focus on Benefits: Insurance discounts
Written by Ruth Farrugia RGD, City of Côte Saint-Luc
The RGD Membership has its privileges! As co-chair of the Membership Committee, I want to share some of the amazing resources and benefits that Membership provides and encourage all the RGD Members to take advantage of them. If you’re not an RGD Member yet, now’s the time for you to join!
Even though designers are visionaries, we can’t exactly foresee everything that could happen. This is where insurance comes in. Insurance premiums can be costly. Thankfully, this is where your RGD Membership benefits come in.
Through your RGD Membership, you have access to discounts on multiple types of insurance.
“I always tell people I saved a couple of hundred dollars on insurance through the RGD—and another few hundred on my gym membership. That alone covers the cost of my Membership.”
Eric Forest RGD
On the RGD Member Discounts page, you’ll find discounts for:
- Protecting your nest and your ride with belairdirect’s home and car insurance
- Protecting your smile and your health (physical and mental) with Health Plus’ dental and health insurance—specially designed for freelancers and business owners
- Protecting yourself when you’re enjoying your precious vacation time with Johnson Insurance’s travel insurance. Travel is a huge source of inspiration!
- Protecting your business with Mitchell and Sandham’s liability insurance
And then if you sign up for Perkopolis, you can access discounted rates on a wide range of products and services. And they periodically offer discount rates with various insurers: home and auto, life insurance, travel insurance and even pet insurance for your furry family Members.
Seriously, the amazing team at the RGD is constantly working to improve and keep adding to the benefits we get from our Membership. I find new ones every time I write these articles! Keep an eye out for new discounts and take advantage of everything that your RGD Membership offers.
