Canadians want to prepare their homes from extreme weather threats, but don't know where to start Français
Intact launches "Keep It Intact" Program with practical tools to empower homeowners to take action and protect their homes TORONTO, July 14, 2025 /CNW/ - As extreme weather events continue to rise, Canadians are increasingly concerned about what a changing climate means for their homes and communities. A recent national survey reveals that 80% of surveyed Canadians 1 believe we can do something to respond to the increasing number and severity of extreme weather events, but a notable gap persists between this belief and meaningful action. While 57% of surveyed Canadians 1 are thinking about or have taken some steps to protect their homes from extreme weather events, only a small fraction, 9%, have implemented several concrete actions. Barriers to acting include uncertainty about what steps to take, cost, and perceived lack of necessity. This perception gap persists despite a record-breaking summer of catastrophic weather events across Canada in 2024, which saw over $7.7 billion in insured losses and a 406% spike in insurance claims compared to the 20-year average 2. This underscores the urgent need for better public understanding of home vulnerability and for practical tools that make the risks and the solutions more tangible. To close the gap between intention and action, Intact Insurance is launching "Keep It Intact," a national, long-term prevention program designed to help Canadians adapt to the growing reality of extreme weather. By leveraging proven and practical actions anyone can take, Intact is empowering Canadians to make informed decisions about protecting their homes from climate threats, before the next flood or wildfire strikes. As Intact continues to collaborate with Canadians to build long-term climate resilience, we will continuously add tools and resources to enhance our support. "Canadians are increasingly concerned about what a changing climate means for their homes, but the path to action isn't always clear," says Carla Smith, Executive Vice President & Chief People, Strategy & Climate Officer, Intact Financial Corporation. "We created the 'Keep It Intact' program to give Canadians the knowledge, confidence and support they need to take control, starting at their front door. It's not waiting for the next flood or wildfire to force a response. It's empowering Canadians to prepare now to protect what matters most." About "Keep It Intact" Grounded in over a decade of climate adaptation research conducted by the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the University of Waterloo, "Keep It Intact" transforms academic findings into actionable guidance tailored to each homeowner's unique regional weather threats. "The strength of the 'Keep It Intact' program lies in its practicality," says Guillaume Lamy, Senior Vice President, Personal Lines, Intact Financial Corporation. "It builds on Intact's long-standing commitment to building resilient communities by providing homeowners with insights, national expertise, and practical guidance, empowering Canadians to take action and protect their homes." Accessible through a free service at the platform equips Canadians with: Expert-based recommendations with engaging content and how-to guides. Education and planning tools including risk-based tips by budget and weather type. Practical home maintenance tasks such as checking sump pumps. Access to trusted professionals offering preventive maintenance including gutter cleaning, and assistance with larger jobs such as roof repairs. Fast Facts Intact has been dedicated to climate adaptation for over a decade, investing more than $30 million since 2010 in over 100 projects. In 2025, Intact increased its investment in its Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants program from $2 million to $3.1 million to support 19 communities across Canada implement projects which address the effects of extreme weather events, such as flooding and wildfire. Intact recently acquired Jiffy Inc., Canada's number one home maintenance app, which connects homeowners with experts who provide home maintenance and repair services to make homes more resilient to severe weather. Jiffy currently operates in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton and is rolling out additional locations across Canada.

Intact Financial Corporation increases investment in its Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants program to $3.1 million Français
The City of Kelowna, along with 18 other municipalities, registered charities, and Indigenous communities awarded funding to support local projects that implement proven solutions to flooding and wildfire TORONTO, June 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Intact Financial Corporation is pleased to announce that it is increasing its investment in its Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants program from $2 million to $3.1 million to support 19 communities across Canada, including the City of Kelowna, address the effects of extreme weather events, such as flooding and wildfire. The projects funded will help protect communities as they adapt to a changing climate, focusing on vulnerable areas and solutions that protect the wider community or mobilize residents to take action. The 19 selected recipients represent municipalities, registered charities and Indigenous communities across the country and were selected from a competitive pool of 172 applicants. Intact will invest up to $200,000 into each of the selected projects, which range from creating wetlands and rain gardens to help reduce flooding, to the implementation of incentive programs for homeowners to make their homes more wildfire resilient. "As the frequency and severity of extreme weather continues to increase, we are accelerating our efforts in helping people and communities adapt to a changing climate," says Carla Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy, Climate and People Officer, Intact Financial Corporation. "Municipalities are on the frontlines of climate adaptation. The work they undertake to protect their communities is essential, and we recognize and appreciate their leadership. We believe equipping them with effective tools is essential to building resilience." Kelowna enhances wildfire protection for its communities As Canada faces another extreme wildfire season, the urgency to protect at-risk communities is critical. Recognizing this pressing need, Intact is announcing the City of Kelowna, British Columbia, as one of the recipients of its 2025 Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants program. Demonstrating leadership and commitment to municipal safety and its residents, Kelowna will invest an additional $500,000 to augment Intact's $100,000 grant. This funding will support a wildfire risk reduction project in priority neighbourhoods that employs prescribed fire (also known as controlled burns) in natural areas, augmenting ongoing FireSmart TM home initiatives. With this strategic investment, Kelowna is stepping up, showcasing how municipalities can act decisively to protect their communities from the increasing threat of wildfires. "Western Canada is experiencing another devastating wildfire season. Our team witnesses firsthand the hardships and challenges people endure during these times and our thoughts are with everyone impacted. As our team is on the ground supporting communities who are experiencing wildfires at this very moment, our focus is on helping Canadians protect what matters the most to them and investing in communities to be more wildfire-ready and resilient," adds Carla Smith. "Thanks to the Municipal Climate Resiliency Grant, Kelowna's prescribed fire project is reducing wildfire risk while restoring ecosystem health. This investment strengthens our community's climate resilience and safeguards our natural environment. We're grateful for this support—it helps protect our residents and ensures a safer, more sustainable future for generations to come," says Tom Dyas, Mayor of Kelowna Intact has been dedicated to climate adaptation for over a decade, investing more than $30 million since 2010 in over 100 projects. The Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants program was launched in 2021 to support municipalities, which own 60 per cent of Canada's infrastructure and serve as frontline responders when disasters strike. Under the program's first round of funding, Intact invested $1 million to fund 10 communities nationwide. In 2024, the organization announced plans to double its commitment from $1 to $2 million for the 2024-2025 program. With the overwhelming demand and urgent need, Intact is increasing its contribution to $3.1 million over the next two years to support 19 communities throughout Canada. The 18 other Municipal Climate Resiliency Grant projects will be announced in the upcoming weeks as agreements are finalized.
