Grande Prairie's own brokerfor families and businesses that build.
This is home. Tanya Michel lives, rides, and works in the Peace Country — and brings the kind of insurance strategy usually reserved for downtown towers to the businesses, farms, and families of Grande Prairie and the communities around it.
Advice from someone who knows what you're building.
Grande Prairie earns its living differently: energy services and trades, agriculture and equipment, professionals serving a fast-growing region, and family businesses that carry real weight on personal guarantees. Insurance advice here has to respect that reality — incomes that flex with activity, corporations doing the heavy lifting, and estates where land and iron outweigh cash.
Tanya has spent nine years in the industry — six of them independent — serving exactly this community. Her practice runs from family protection and critical illness coverage through to the advanced file: corporate-owned policies, Capital Dividend Account strategies, buy-sell funding, and estate liquidity for operations that shouldn’t be split to pay a tax bill.
Meetings happen the way the Peace Country prefers: straight, prepared, and flexible — in person around Grande Prairie, or by phone and video across the region from Beaverlodge to High Prairie. And when the plan involves your accountant, she’d rather they were on the call from the start.
Grande Prairie and every road out of it.
City-calibre strategy, Peace Country delivery.
Family protection
Life and critical illness coverage sized to real households — mortgages, kids, and single-point incomes included.
Trades & energy services
Coverage built for incorporated operators whose income and insurability both deserve protecting early.
Farm & ranch transition
Estate liquidity that lets land pass whole and equalizes the kids who left the farm.
Corporate-owned strategies
Corporate-dollar funding and CDA pathways for local businesses and professional corporations.
Buy-sell funding
Partner agreements funded properly — so the business survives its worst day.
Estate & legacy design
From final-expense simplicity to multi-generation wealth transfer — matched to the family, not a template.
The same strategies a Calgary tower would charge downtown rates to design — built here, by a neighbour, with Peace Country practicality.
Local isn't a tagline — it’s underwriting.
She knows the ground
Horses out back, clients up and down Highway 43 — Tanya understands seasonal income, equipment debt, and what a quarter section means to a family, because she lives where those things are true.
Independent for the client
Canada's major insurers, compared side by side; recommendations that follow your numbers — including when the answer is inexpensive term coverage.
