Who we are


The Insurance Councils of Saskatchewan (ICS) operate under the authority delegated by the Superintendent of Insurance to license and regulate insurance agents, brokers, adjusters, and agencies within Saskatchewan.

There are three distinct Insurance Councils in Saskatchewan:

  1. General Insurance Council (GICS): Regulates General Insurance Adjusters, Property & Casualty Agents, Restricted Travel Agents, Crop Hail Agents/Adjusters, Restricted Insurance Agents, Managing General Agents (MGAs), and Third-Party Administrators (TPAs).

  2. Life Insurance Council (LICS): Regulates Life and/or Accident and Sickness Agents, including agencies, MGAs, and TPAs.

  3. Insurance Council of Saskatchewan ( ICS Board): Serves as the overarching board.

The Councils have the authority to license individuals and businesses, impose conditions and/or restrictions on licensees, and conduct compliance audits and investigations into the conduct of insurance licensees in response to complaints. ICS is responsible for determining whether there has been a breach of any provisions of The Insurance Act, The Insurance Regulations, or the Council Bylaws.
