The Blue Goose BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE (But hilarious!)
Our History
Historically, the organization came into life in 1906 on the shores of Green Lake, Wisconsin, during the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Fieldmen. It was intended as a lark for those in attendance, but the idea took hold, and from that unpretentious beginning, the Order has grown into the International Order of today. (Don Cook October 1994)
The Honorable Order Of The Blue Goose is a fraternal organization of men and women who work in the property, casualty insurance industry. We meet social and fraternally, and not as part of any insurance company or industrial group. Our mutual link is the career experience we have in our chosen field. We're a community of interest, experience, activity and feeling. This community nature is something larger and yet more intimate than a business association or networking group. We are genuine friends.
The Regina Pond
The Honorable Order of the Blue Goose Regina Pond’s charity of record is the SaskAbilities (previously Saskatchewan Abilities Council). SaskAbilities provides programs and services to people in Saskatchewan experiencing disabilities and helps to build inclusive communities. Since 1958 the Regina Pond has donated over two hundred fifty thousand dollars for capital expenses, office equipment and furniture to the SaskAbilities. Each year we provide a Christmas Chicken Dinner for approximately 120 people from the quality of lift program at SaskAbilities, as well as member of the Blue Goose attend. We have also been involved in the 24-hour Easter Seal Relay for Camp Easter Seal. We help raise money by supplying co-ordination and volunteer manpower to run the various relay points and clean up.
Each year Blue Goose Regina awards one CIP graduate $150.00 upon completion of their studies with the Insurance Institute of Saskatchewan.
In 2005, we won the Charity Fund Award which is given to the Pond that has worked to include as many of their members as possible to raise fund for local charities. No Blue Goose Pond in Canada had ever won this award before.
In 2025, the Regina Pond was awarded the Gordon F. Crowther Award for overall charitable excellence. This award is given to the Pond that "served so graciously in not only charitable donations, but in the dedication of their time in service to others, as well as other charitable activities such as collection of food, clothing, or toys, or the giving of scholarships, etc. to exemplify our precept of charity.
