There are three separate Insurance Councils in Saskatchewan, these are the two industry councils;  General Insurance Council (“GICS”), Life Insurance Council (“LICS”), and the third is the Board, which is the Insurance Council of Saskatchewan.

General Insurance Adjusters, Property & Casualty Agents, Restricted Travel Agents, Crop Hail Agents/Adjusters, Restricted Insurance Agents, Managing General Agents (“MGA’s”), and Third Party Administrators (“TPA’s”) are regulated through the GICS.
