Designed by Montreal architects Brown and Vallance, the Canada Life Assurance Building projected prosperity, prestige and stability-images desired by the insurance industry at the time of the building's construction in 1914. From 1914 to 1947, the building served as the Saskatchewan headquarters for the Ontario-based Canada Life Assurance Company. In 1946, the Saskatchewan Government Insurance Office (SGIO),the first government-owned insurance company in Canada, established its head office in the building. A year later, SGIO bought the property and remained there until 1979.
Built in the Gothic Revival style with influences from the Chicago School, its white terra-cotta facade continues to make the building one of downtown Regina's most striking historic landmarks.
