Your GNK representative is also here to assist you in the Claims process by working with you, both in explaining coverage provisions and in the presentation of your claim to your Insurance Company.

The GNK Insurance Group had its start in the early 1930s when Locke & Ree Insurance started doing business in downtown Vancouver. In 1962, Gerwing Insurance Agency was established at our present West Broadway location and over time became Gerwing North Kerr. GNK Insurance Services Inc. was formed in 1999 combining the businesses of Locke & Ree, Gerwing North & Kerr, and in 2003, the insurance operations of Spartano Realty. That same year our Burnaby office was opened at 4198 East Hastings Street. Finally, in 2011 the Kitsilano insurance business of Alexander Park Inc. was added to the GNK Insurance family.
