TORONTO, August 12, 2026 – BrokerLink continues growing with three new acquisitions in two provinces. The company welcomed CRS/Merrill Insurance Ltd. (CRS Merrill Insurance), Ames’ Insurance & Real Estate Ltd. (Ames Insurance) and Schofield Insurance Limited (Schofield Insurance) August 1, expanding its presence in Alberta and Nova Scotia respectively. These acquisitions strengthen BrokerLink’s network by adding local expertise and strong community relationships, while extending the company’s reach into a new Alberta market.
With roots dating back to 1957, CRS Merrill Insurance has built a strong reputation for personalized service and lasting customer relationships in Calgary and the surrounding areas. The brokerage is deeply involved in the community, supporting charitable organizations and causes. It is also known for its collaborative culture and commitment to helping customers navigate their insurance needs with confidence.

The family-owned brokerage is known for its deep roots in the region, long-standing customer loyalty and decades of support for local organizations and community initiatives.
The acquisition marks BrokerLink’s entry into the Pincher Creek community, creating new opportunities to serve customers in the region while building on the brokerage’s strong legacy of community involvement and customer service.
Founded in 1977, Schofield Insurance has grown into a trusted brokerage serving customers from its Windsor and Halifax offices. Offering home, auto, business and specialty insurance solutions, the brokerage is known for its local expertise, welcoming approach and strong connections to the communities it serves.
“We’re excited to welcome three respected brokerages to BrokerLink and to expand our reach into new and existing markets,” says Michael Stack, BrokerLink’s Vice President of Acquisitions. “Their strong community connections, industry knowledge and commitment to customer service make them an excellent fit for our organization, and we look forward to building on their success together.”
