BBD’s managing partners, Mike McClenahan, Ron Southward, Troy Southward, and Scott Southward, along with their teams based out of offices in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia and Kingston and Mississauga, Ontario, work with over 1,000 advisors and their clients. BBD’s strong client-centric approach has earned them a stellar reputation, and they have made a positive impact on the employee benefits industry through forums such as the Third Party Administrators Association of Canada (TPAAC), which Mike leads as President. Mike and Scott will continue to run BBD’s operations as part of People Corporation, and its management group and team of employees will all become part of the People Corporation family.

“People Corporation and BBD are both organizations that are committed to improving the lives of working Canadians – including their physical, mental and financial wellbeing – by providing a broad suite of solutions through a vast national network of consulting teams and advisor partners,” commented Laurie Goldberg, CEO of People Corporation. “BBD joining People Corporation brings additional scale and capability by significantly expanding our breadth of distribution and broadening our suite of client solutions. We are thrilled to welcome Mike, Scott, and the rest of the BBD team into the People Corporation family.”
