At Lackner McLennan we are not only committed to the well being of our clients, but to our community as well.
We recognize the importance of our community and therefore give back whenever possible. Lackner McLennan Insurance and our staff are dedicated to helping as many community causes as we can! And not just financially, but getting out there, getting our hands dirty and showing we care. Some of the many charities/special events we take part in helping are:
Lackner McLennan is pleased to announce that for multiple years, we were chosen as the Winner of the Insurance Brokers Challenge for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Waterloo Region Bowl For Kids Sake fundraiser. Kudos to all companies involved!

During April, Society volunteers raise vital funds for the fight against cancer. Money raised during Daffodil Month helps local patients living with cancer and their families. Donations fund life-saving research, support services and other important work that means fewer Canadians will be touched by the disease.”

Packing shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child is a fun-filled and hands-on way for you to change the lives of children living is situations of war, poverty, disease, and natural disaster. Every shoebox you pack tells a hurting child that he or she is loved and not forgotten, but that is not the end. This year, the staff at Lackner McLennan Insurance enthusiastically filled 28 shoeboxes for this great cause!
Pictured above, some of the many shoeboxes we filled and the staff that have been more than excited to be part of it.
