Ottawa Now - Ontario's pending auto insurance changes create more choice for consumers, but also a hefty risk in a major accident

June 3, 2026

There are big changes coming to Ontario’s auto insurance this Summer. As of Canada Day, 9 out of 12 Standard Auto Accident Insurance Benefits will become optional safety nets.

Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Lorraine Sommerfeld, a Driving.ca columnist, on today's Ottawa Now.
