TORONTO (February 7, 2023) — Today, The Canadian Football League (CFL) and Securian Canada, a leading insurance provider of innovative, life-ready insurance solutions in Canada, are proud to announce a multi-year partnership. This makes Securian Canada the official life insurance partner of the CFL.
“As we continue accelerating our footprint in Canada, we are honoured to partner with one of the most beloved Canadian-led sports leagues that brings Canadians, and their families, together,” said Nigel Branker, Chief Executive Officer, Securian Canada.
In addition, the CFL and Securian Canada are pleased to launch CFL’s Diversity in Football program on February 10th.

This is the first milestone in the organization’s partnership with Securian Canada.
“Our partnership and the program highlights our shared commitment to fostering change that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion for all. We are thrilled to be presenting the Diversity in Football Program alongside such impactful changemakers and look forward to all that we will accomplish together,” said Nigel Branker.
