Heather Lebeau
Associate Insurance AdvisorBracebridge heather_lebeau@cooperators.ca
Heather joined us at Cooperators in March of 2020, having previously worked in the banking industry. What a time it was for Heather to start a new career - just as the pandemic hit! But she persevered through the many delays and curveballs the pandemic threw her way. She brings a great deal of dedication and enthusiasm to her role as our social media liaison, as well as servicing our Auto, Home and Business insurance clients. When she isn't working, you can find her outside hiking, biking or kayaking. Heather is also fluently bilingual, so if you prefer French, Heather would be more than happy to converse "en français" with you.
