Our Team

Elaine Hislop
Elaine Hislop has been the heart and soul of Arcola Agencies Ltd. since 1987, when she boldly purchased the brokerage and made it her own. Raised on a dairy farm, Elaine’s roots run deep in the rich soil of rural Saskatchewan. This unique upbringing cultivated her into an agricultural insurance maven, blending grit, know-how, and a genuine love for the land.
But Elaine’s expertise doesn’t stop at the farm gate. With southeast Saskatchewan riding the waves of oil booms, she seized the opportunity to become an industry leader in commercial trucking and oilfield insurance, proving she’s as adaptable as she is knowledgeable. Elaine’s strengths lie in her ability to forge authentic, lasting relationships—a value that’s earned her a loyal client base spanning multiple generations of families.

He believes that true success lies in fostering enduring, authentic connections, not just in meeting quotas. With a natural gift for vulnerability and trust, Blair has an uncanny ability to make people feel heard and valued. Whether he’s sitting with a client or mentoring a colleague, he gently inspires those around him to live with honesty and courage.
As a broker, he doesn’t just protect assets—he builds bridges, blending his family’s legacy with a personal mission to empower others. Through every relationship he nurtures, he invites others to step into their own potential, proving that business, at its best, is about lifting each other up.

Carrie quickly became our licensing specialist and the reliable administrative backbone of our team.
For Carrie, it’s not just about business—it’s about building community. With her knack for keeping things organized and her genuine care for the wellbeing of our clients, she’s the heartbeat of our operation.
