Iridium will honor the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation on September 30th

National Day for Truth & Reconciliation

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a new federal holiday in Canada on September 30th, which coincides with Orange Shirt Day. The day is intended to provide an opportunity for Canadians to learn about and reflect on a dark chapter in our country’s history and to commemorate the survivors, their families, and their communities, as called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Indigenous leaders.

Over the course of more than 100 years, some 150,000 Indigenous children were taken from their families and forced to attend church-run residential schools, where many suffered physical and sexual abuse, malnutrition, and neglect. More than 4,000 are believed to have died.

The Iridium Risk Services office will be closed on September 30th to honor this day.

Since partnering with Iridium Risk Services, we have benefited greatly from their knowledge and enthusiasm to build an insurance program that addresses the unique exposures in our industry. The team at Iridium has been incredibly responsive and meticulous in providing advice and reviewing contracts. The attention to detail they have shown through the risk workshop process and on an ongoing basis is exactly what has made them stand out as a risk management partner to Fresnel (Vitruvi). As our company expands, we know we can rely on Iridium to provide continuous support and help our company achieve its goals.

—Allan Schaefer, Director of Finance, Vitruvi Software

Iridium conducted an in-depth review and analysis of our company’s operations and risk management processes. It was an incredible value-add to our business and gave us insights as to how we could make our insurance program more effective, in addition to enhancing our overall risk management process. The team at Iridium was knowledgeable, detail oriented, and timely in responding to all our requests and requirements. There is no doubt in my mind that Iridium’s expertise enabled us to achieve favorable terms on our renewal while also helping to simplify and clarify some of the coverages. Their ability to explain complex coverage considerations and policy wordings provided us with a strong confidence level with their recommendations. Overall, we are very satisfied with Iridium’s service, which we feel is tailored to our business and we are confident our risk management needs are being addressed by the team.

The team at Iridium handled our significant pollution liability claim like the consummate professionals we’ve come to know them as. We felt supported throughout the entire process and knew Iridium always had our back. Whether it be in dealings with insurers, adjusters or third party experts, they advocated for us every step of the way. We are very grateful for their level of involvement and the ultimate settlements along the way.

Iridium took the time to meet with our rail logistics and tidewater terminal operating teams to learn about Sultran’s overall business activities and related risks. The Iridium team’s analysis of our risks was very comprehensive and resulted in the design and placement of an insurance program that vastly improved coverage of our identified risks. Their prompt service, knowledge of managing risks and attention to detail has been impressive and extremely helpful. Not only has Iridium talked the talk, they’ve walked the walk.
