OTIP

They’re choosing a life — a life dedicated to putting others first. Our initials stand for Ontario Teachers Insurance Plan. What we stand for is putting members of the education community first. Members are our reason for being — helping them protect the things they care about is what gets us out of bed in the morning, and it’s what makes us look forward to tomorrow. Over 45 years ago, a group of like-minded individuals came together to create OTIP. They strongly believed the insurance needs of Ontario’s educational workers would be better served by a not-for-profit insurance advocate that was part of the education community; an insurance advocate with the determination, skill and vision to work with the best insurance companies to shape and innovate products and services specially built for the education community. Today, we proudly offer a full range of group and individual insurance products that all share one thing in common. They were created to specifically address and satisfy the unique needs of our members. Because we believe that insurance built around our members is the best insurance of all. At OTIP, we don’t have a profit motive. We have something more inspiring: a “putting members of the education community first” motive. The proceeds we generate by meeting the needs of our members and going beyond expectations enable us to continually develop new and better ways to protect what matters to them most. OTIP is proudly governed, led and inspired by the four education affiliates and their local leaders who daily champion the employees of Ontario’s education communities. Being affiliate-led means we understand, like no other, the needs and hopes of our members. Every product and service we offer has been shaped and improved by this deep understanding. And that will always be true.
