The Best of Both Worlds

Teachers Life is an established Canadian life, disability, and sickness insurer, and is one of the largest insurance companies for education workers in Canada. Building on Teachers Life’s signature strengths, we decided to launch a new, purpose-driven, digital-first brand for all Canadians: nowly. nowly is owned and operated by Teachers Life.

nowly’s values of excellent Member service, world-class Member healthy living benefits, and giving back (in a bold, new way) are inspired by our parent brand who, for more than 80 years, have made these values a priority. nowly is about doing the right thing, right now. From instant and affordable online coverage, to instant, complimentary healthy living benefits, to bold, new ways to social give back and make the world a better place. Welcome to nowly.

This is the nowly story.

We were born from our parent brand, Teachers Life, who, since 1939 has made our values a priority. Excellent Member service, world-class Member healthy living benefits, and giving back are at the heart and soul of Teachers Life, one of the largest not-for-profit insurance providers in Canada for the education community.

nowly is about getting it right…now. We offer affordable and accessible products, instant value-add benefits and new ways to give back to make Canada a better place.

We’ve partnered with a global leader in virtual health and wellness (Virgin Pulse) to help our Members (and our employees) live healthy now. Plus, we’re innovating giving back with our bold, new social good give back program: Press Start. Press Start provides business support and education to established and new social-preneurs so they can take their ideas or businesses to new levels to help solve some of Canada’s most challenging issues. That’s living nowly!
