Who We Are

Legacy Bowes is an organizational consultant company with experts who specialize in Human Resources, Executive Search, and leadership training in a wide variety of topics.

The legacy behind the company began with Barbara Bowes and the establishment of the Bowes Leadership Group in 1984. With the mantra of “helping leaders lead”, Barbara quickly became known as a Human Resources guru, bringing forth the growth of the business and its reputation.

Today, we are two partners strong and have continued to build upon our long-standing reputation, extending our reach both locally and globally.

TIPI Insurance Partners Inc. have acquired 75% of Legacy Bowes, allowing us to increase our capacity, services, and investment into Indigenous community development. This partnership was a vision come true.

We are proud to be partnered with TIPI Insurance, a majority Indigenous-owned insurance brokerage that represents 60 First Nation community shareholders across Western Canada. They have evolved their practice in order to prioritize Indigenous communities’ concerns over rising insurance costs, inadequate coverage, poor service, and community engagement.

We are now Indigenous-owned and in addition, are newly offering a Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action 92 Training program. This course trains employees in cultural diversity and Indigenous awareness, as well as encourages an inclusive workforce, develops creative employment initiatives, and embraces social responsibility initiatives.

 

“Through our new partnership with Legacy Bowes, we can offer greater access to human resource development, recruitment services, leadership development and human resource training to all our current and future clients or communities we serve.”

- Nathan Ballantyne
CEO, TIPI Insurance Partners
