"CSBT was able to provide all the coverage of our previous provider as well as offering additional services, Life Works and Group critical Illness, for the same cost. Our employees feel this to be a considerable benefit.

We have been with CSBT since April 2013 and we continue to be pleased with their service and competitiveness."

Community Living Centres Inc. - Nova Scotia

"CSBT has a very unique structure as a Trust composed of community service providers.

They understand the needs of support workers and provide not only the typical health insurance but added services such as Life Works, Critical Illness coverage, options for medication purchasing, and tailored overall programs that meet the needs of the employee body as well as the organization.

Many options are included in the program at no additional cost. Continual evaluation and forward thinking are part of the CSBT process."

Our Neighbourhood Living Society - Nova Scotia

"When someone asks me a question I don't know or has a problem I can't solve with respect to pension and benefits, I know Nick and his team at NewGround Financial are just a phone call or email away. 

It's great to have someone reliable to pass the puck to, thanks for all of your help!"

Dartmouth Learning Network - Nova Scotia

"We appreciate having a personal relationship with NewGround where we can reach out and get help when needed. It is refreshing not to work through various prompts on an automated system to get support -  NewGround is responsive & accessible.

The approach to work with NewGround aligns well with the culture of our organization: supporting, learning and relationship-building. They have regularly supported our team, outlining details of our benefits plan: how to use it, answering clarifying questions and increasing our team's confidence with accessing the tools & services in the health benefits system."
