WINNIPEG, MB — A new chapter in community-focused insurance has begun. ONE Insurance Group has officially acquired Patill / St. James Insurance, a trusted brokerage located at 2649 Portage Avenue in Winnipeg. With this acquisition, ONE Insurance proudly marks its 29th location across Manitoba.
This expansion brings together two organizations with shared values and a long-standing commitment to personalized service. Built on trust, integrity, and a client-first approach, both ONE Insurance and Patill / St. James have grown by staying true to their roots and the communities they serve.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Patill / St. James to our team,” said Nicholas Rawluk, President & CEO of ONE Insurance. “Their reputation for personalized service and community involvement aligns perfectly with our mission to be the broker of choice for Manitobans.”
The St. James neighbourhood, known for its vibrant history and strong community spirit, will now benefit from expanded access to tailored insurance solutions, trusted advice, and local support.
Letter to clients:
Dear Valued Client,
We are writing to you today with a deep sense of gratitude, responsibility, and excitement!
As of August 1st, 2025, ONE Insurance Group is honoured to welcome Patill / St. James Insurance into the ONE team. This transition marks more than just a change in name—it’s the continuation of a legacy that began 57 years ago with Pat and Bill Coleman and was carried forward with care and dedication by Jeff and Penny.
When Jeff and Penny began considering the future of their brokerage, they were thoughtful in choosing a partner who would uphold the values that have defined Patill / St. James Insurance for decades: trust, integrity, and a genuine commitment to the people of St. James and throughout the City.
Throughout this process, Jeff and Penny’s thoughtful leadership and commitment to their clients and friends has been evident every step of the way and ONE Insurance is honoured to be chosen to continue their legacy.
At ONE Insurance, we understand what it means to start small and grow with the communities we serve. Like Patill / St. James, our roots are here in Manitoba. We know the people, the places, and the values that make this province special. And we believe that insurance should always be personal, local, and built on relationships.
As you see branding changes over the next few months, you can still expect the same friendly faces, the same trusted advice, and the same commitment to service you’ve always known—now backed by the strength and resources of a larger team and 29 locations across Manitoba.
Timelines for this transition are still being finalized. Clients and community members are encouraged to contact their local advisor with any questions or to follow ONE Insurance on social media for the latest updates.
