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.
