Barry F. Lorenzetti Speaks On the Importance of Backing Canadian Businesses In The Globe and Mail

‘’Canadian businesses — the ones that are truly built here, owned here, and that recruit here — need more than appreciation and polite applause. They need opportunity. They need a Canadian-first mindset. Simply put, all things being equal, Canadians should be giving Canadians the first shot.’’

Our CEO, Chairman of the Board and Founder, Barry F. Lorenzetti, has written a letter distributed in the Globe and Mail reflecting on BFL CANADA’s journey from our beginnings in 1987 to becoming one of Canada’s largest employee-owned and operated Risk Management, Insurance Brokerage, and Employee Benefits consulting services firms. As you all know, BFL CANADA has always embodied the success of a proudly 100% Canadian company, one that has carved out a strong presence not only across the country, but also on the global stage.

In his letter, Barry F. Lorenzetti reaffirms his vision and conviction, and issues a clear call to action: it’s time to support Canadian businesses, invest in our own economy, and, above all, rethink how we value homegrown talent and innovation.
