"It is hard for me to make just one comment about Canal Insurance Company. Their stability and longevity in the industry demonstrates that they are in it for the long haul. However, I have to say that the most impressive thing about Canal is their employees. They are very knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with, and have always made me feel like part of a family."

The Canal Way

Since our founding in 1939, Canal Insurance Company has maintained a strong partnership and sense of family among employees, agents, and independent associates.

It goes beyond the business.  There is an aura of warmth and friendship that no executive fiat could create.  Canal’s people are guided by an unwritten spirit of integrity, dependability, trust, loyalty and caring which emanate from its Owners.

Known as “The Canal Way”, we use special knowledge, maintain awareness, and apply good judgement – earning the reputation that Canal will always be there.  We celebrate our history and tradition, yet listen to new ideas and embrace the future.  As we grow and make changes to accommodate the future, our values remain constant; they will not change, for they have been tested.

We will always operate at a high level of trust and provide great value for our insureds, agents, employees and friends.  These are our principles – our way of life.
