Hey there, time traveller!

Johnston Group Inc. has two new leaders.
Matt Johnston and Will Johnston have been appointed co-presidents at the group benefit plan administrator, which is headquartered in Winnipeg.
The two men, who are the sons of founder David Johnston, previously served in senior management roles at the company. They succeed former president Dave Angus, who retired at the end of September after nine years in the role.
Started in 1983, the Johnston Group has become one of the largest group benefit plan third-party administrators in the country.
As of September 2024, it served 35,000 businesses across Canada, with $850 million in premiums under its administration.
In an interview with the Free Press that month, Angus praised Matt and Will Johnston for their contributions to the company.
“They’re brilliant,” Angus said. “They come from the Johnston family culture, so it’s nice to have that grounding in terms of the future.”
The company employs more than 400 people.
