Foresters Life, our History

Foresters Life’s legacy of care began in 1898 with the founding of the Insurance Department of the Subsidiary High Court of the Ancient Order of Foresters. The Ancient Order of Foresters was incorporated in 1934 and subsequently changed its name to Toronto Mutual Life Insurance Company. It was renamed Unity Life of Canada in 2002, when it amalgamated with its subsidiary, The Western Life Assurance Company.
 
On April 2, 2008, Unity Life was converted from a mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company owned by Foresters.
 
Unity Life officially changed its name to Foresters Life Insurance Company on January 23, 2012.
