Become a Voting Member

First and foremost, a Fraternal Benefits Society is comprised of members that share a common bond. In addition to coming together to provide financial protection through our life insurance products, our shared values – and our continued desire to support local communities, families, and each other – has connected Serenia Life Financial to its members over the years.

As a Fraternal Benefits Society, our governance model provides eligible members the opportunity to have their voices heard via voting rights. Out of respect for our history, we’ve maintained this long-standing tradition, providing legacy members and those who meet the eligibility criteria with the right to vote on governance-related matters.

1. Legacy members
2. Members who attest to being at least 18 years of age, are the insured or annuitant under, or holder of, a policy issued by Serenia Life Financial, and who:

• chose to be baptized or confirmed as a Christian in congregations which are affiliated with the Canadian Council of Churches (CCC) or the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC); or
• are practicing Christians in a congregation which is affiliated with the CCC or EFC; or
• identify as Christian and declare their faith is consistent with beliefs of a CCC or EFC denomination; or
• are members of a Christian organization in Canada.

If you currently have a life insurance policy or an annuity with Serenia Life Financial, and are a member that had voting rights prior to February 23, 2021, you are now considered a “legacy member.” All legacy members have voting rights.

You can vote on governance-related issues, such as:

• Proposed changes to our Letters Patent
• The appointment of new directors to the Board of Directors
