Summer 2025: Keep Calm and Carry On!

Who welcomes the arrival of the lazy, hazy days of summer more than Canadians? With idyllic visions of weekends at the cottage, campfires or backyard BBQ’s we look forward to leisurely days and warm evenings; time with family and friends; or quiet time alone with a book. Like summer holidays, our “golden years” of retirement are frequently depicted as a worry-free reward for all our hard work. Yet, while the rigours of managing a challenging career, or juggling responsibilities as we raised families are behind us, it’s not unusual to find we face new challenges and new stresses as we enjoy this time in our lives. This issue’s SuperAging article explores ways to develop strategies to manage the stress levels in our lives, an interesting read to help you live a stress-free life. Welcome to Summer!

Reducing
Stress

An unwelcome surge of unexpected political disruption and economic uncertainty has characterized our news this year so far and many of us may have experienced higher levels of anxiety than usual as a result. Chronic stress can take a toll on the mind, body and behavior but, by identifying the stressors in your life and distinguishing stress from distress, you can develop strategies to help.

Destination

A cursory web search of life’s most stressful events will soon reveal numerous lists for various sources, most of which have several similarities Within the top 10 of most of these lists are “Moving to a New Home “and Retirement” - no wonder the prospect of selling the family home and moving to a new location at this stage of life can prove daunting as we embrace our retirement years!

CASSIDY & YOUNG & CAA INTRODUCE CCA MyPace®

A Unique, Stress-Free Option to
Keep You in the Driver’s Seat

Retirement is the start of a new kind of freedom — one where you set the pace. For many active adults, that includes more local travel, fewer commutes, and the choice to spend time how and where they want. So why pay full-price auto insurance if your mileage doesn’t reflect that lifestyle?

Drive Less, Save More:
A Smarter Insurance Option for Active Retirees

At Cassidy & Young Insurance Brokers, we understand that many retirees are driving less than ever — and we’ve partnered with CAA Insurance to offer a solution that matches your needs: CAA MyPace®, Canada’s only pay-as-you-drive auto insurance payment program.

What is CAA MyPace®?

CAA MyPace® is designed for low-mileage drivers. Instead of paying a traditional flat premium, you pay a base rate and then purchase distance in 1,000 km increments. This means you only pay for the distance you actually drive — rather than the distance your old policy assumes you might. And with the new annual threshold raised to 12,000 km, there’s even more room to save while staying protected on the road.

Why Retirees Love It

  • You’re in control – MyPace® gives you the freedom to pay based on how much you drive. No more paying for unnecessary mileage.
  • It’s easy to use – A simple device is installed in your car to track your kilometres. You can monitor your usage anytime through the CAA app.
  • It fits your lifestyle – Whether you’re running local errands, visiting family nearby, or heading out on a weekend road trip, MyPace® adapts to your habits.

Perfect for Snowbirds,
Downsizers & Local Explorers

If you’ve recently downsized, stopped commuting, or spend part of the year travelling outside of Canada, CAA MyPace® may be the most cost-effective coverage you’ve had in years.

Let’s Talk About Your Driving Needs

At Cassidy & Young Insurance Brokers, we believe insurance should support your lifestyle, not hold it back. Contact us today to see if CAA MyPace® is the right fit for you — and let us help you keep more money in your pocket for the things that matter most.
