Mager said the move will pool resources together, which will help save money and benefit members. He said this is a way to keep membership dues reasonable, and once the merger put this through, there will be a small reduction in fees.

“The merger will enhance roadside assistance, travel and insurance services in both Manitoba and Ontario,” Meger said.

The two companies will continue to operate under their current brands. Merger said there will be no job losses. It’s set to take place Sept. 30, 2016, which is dependent to member and regulatory approvals.
