Insurance 

Insurance is a policy, which is purchased to protect your belongings and liability in the case of accidents or unforeseen circumstances.  In some cases, insurance may be mandatory to purchase, such as car insurance or house insurance.  It is also a good idea to have content insurance, which will cover the costs of your belongings in the event of fire or theft.  There are a number of insurance companies in Timmins that will be able to assist you.  Keep in mind that purchasing both home and car insurance from the same company often make you eligible for discounts.  You will need to contact the insurance companies directly to obtain a quote and determine which one offers you the best coverage and price.
