On April 28, 1887 a number of farmers from Peel and Maryborough Townships met in the Temperance Hall in Drayton. The purpose of the meeting was to arrange for insuring their farm properties against losses due to fire and lightning.

Out of this meeting, the Peel and Maryborough Mutual Fire Insurance Company was formed. The head office was established in Drayton with a fifteen member board of directors. Initially, the company only insured properties in the named townships. At the first annual meeting the board was reduced to twelve and a decision was made to insure properties in areas adjacent to Peel and Maryborough.

Over the years the company has greatly expanded its geographical area, coverages written and risks assumed. Loss experience has varied from year to year but the Peel Maryborough Mutual Insurance Company has always been financially secure and able to meet its obligations to its owners, the policyholders.

In the initial years, the company conducted business from a rented premises. A building was purchased in 1902 and eventually a more modern office was built in 1979. The current, modern building was constructed in 1991 and despite a minor fire in 2001, has served the company well.

Facility Association guarantees the availability of automobile insurance through the Residual Market Mechanism and through Risk Sharing Pools as well. The Residual Market Mechanism (FARM) is an arrangement between Facility Association and select member automobile insurance companies who act as "Servicing Carriers.” Servicing Carriers issue and endorse policies, receive premiums and adjust claims on behalf of the member companies of Facility Association. All policies written through the FARM are subject to the rules, rates and classification of the Facility Association. All Rules and Rates require regulatory approval for all jurisdictions the Residual Market serves.

Risk Sharing Pools operate in Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador and only apply to private passenger vehicles. The Risk Sharing Pools are administered by the Facility Association and accept risks underwritten by members at their own approved premium levels or at a regulated maximum level where applicable. Insurers issue policies on their own book, and then have the option of keeping such business or transferring it to the Risk Sharing Pool where eligible. Each Risk Sharing Pool has its own eligibility guidelines for risk submission.

Facility Association also administers the Uninsured Automobile Funds in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Individuals who may claim from the Fund include those who cannot obtain satisfaction for damages under a contract of automobile insurance; those who do not have other insurance; and those who do have other insurance, but it is inadequate. The respective provincial Insurance Acts govern payment of these claims. The Facility Association monitors the investigation, defense and final settlement of these claims through the assistance of designated law firms and an insurance company.

Facility Association is responsible for the provision and administration of the Underwriting Information Plan (UIP). The UIP enables the identification, collection and transformation of policy and claims data from members into information to assist the valid and appropriate risk assessment and underwriting by members. Every member is required to participate in the UIP and to report the data designates as UIP Data to or in accordance with the direction of the Facility Association.
