BVC Alumni partners with TD Insurance Meloche Monnex

Alumni Associations across Canada have partnered with TD Insurance Meloche Monnex because of the valuable suite of benefits and services that they offer and their reputation for excellence in the service and delivery of their products. As of July 9, 2008, BVC and AVC alumni will be eligible for a group rate on home, auto, travel and small business insurance through TD Insurance Meloche Monnex.

This is a huge step forward for the alumni program at Bow Valley College, putting us at par with other local post secondary institutions, because it entitles BVC/AVC alumni to the same type of benefits that alumni from other institutions are receiving.

We look forward to working with TD Insurance Meloche Monnex on growing this program and are excited about the opportunity to offer another valuable benefit to BVC/AVC alumni.
