The Canadian Diamond Drilling Association is pleased to announce BrokerLink Insurance as our Supplier Member of the Month. We interviewed a member from their company to learn more about their services and what the CDDA membership means to them as a company.
Can you tell us more about your company?
BrokerLink is one of Canada’s largest general insurance brokerages, with over 200 branches and 4,000 employees. This includes locations in Ontario, Alberta, Atlantic Canada, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and increasingly British Columbia as part of our national expansion. BrokerLink is proudly Canadian-owned and operated, offering tailored commercial insurance solutions for over 80,000 commercial customers and manage 100,000 commercial policies.
What Products and Services Do You Offer?
Mining and drilling operations face high-severity, low-frequency risks driven by heavy mobile equipment, subsurface uncertainty, environmental exposure, and complex contractual obligations. BrokerLink delivers structured insurance programs designed to address these realities.
Our mining insurance specialists work closely with operators, contractors, and project owners to assess operational hazards, contractual risk transfer, and regulatory requirements. Coverage solutions may include environmental liability, property and equipment schedules , wrap-ups, project-specific placements, professional liability, business interruption, and complex fleet programs.
BrokerLink supports risk management beyond policy placement, assisting with contract reviews, insurance specification compliance, loss control coordination, and claims advocacy. Backed by national market access and strong insurer relationships, we help ensure your insurance program responds when it matters most.
At the CDDA, we value recognizing employees who are making a difference in the industry. Is there someone from your team you’d like to highlight?
At BrokerLink, we proudly acknowledge the outstanding contributions of David Courchesne, a Senior Account Executive, whose expertise and dedication to his mining and construction cliental set a high standard within the insurance profession. Through a deep understanding of the unique risks faced by mining and construction sectors, Dave has consistently delivered thoughtful, practical insurance solutions tailored to complex operations. By combining industry knowledge with professionalism and integrity, Dave’s commitment to client advocacy, and long-term partnership has earned the trust of clients and insurers for over 30 years.
What do you value being a CDDA Member?
Although BrokerLink Insurance specializes in the mining sector, we are relatively new members to the CDDA. Effective general insurance and risk management services are based on strong technical industry expertise combined with a holistic long-term relationship driven approach. As a member of the association, BrokerLink representatives through the CDDA’s various events and communications are continuously gaining industry knowledge to enhance the service proposition as specialized insurance providers. But more importantly as our membership tenure grows, supporting the CDDA allows us to give back to the mining sector.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to BrokerLink for being a valued member of the CDDA. Your support helps strengthen our industry and contributes to the important work of advancing safety, collaboration, and shared success across Canada’s diamond drilling and exploration industry.
