The New York Times
recently reported that
Bangladesh officials believe
that well water in two-thirds
of the country has been con-
taminated with arsenic and

was dug 25 ys ago to

~ Look what’s happening
to one in three ICBC customers.

We're cutting insurance rates by 20% for over 700,000 of British Columbia's best
drivers. Which means a savings of $40 to $70 on their optional coverage insurance,
including extended third party liability, collision and comprehensive.

Our road safety programs have lead to 19,000 fewer ICBC claims this year,
compared to the same period last year. And now, we're able to take three years of
rate stability one step further. It’s called the RoadStar Gold program, and it rewards
people who've been driving for over 15 years without an at-fault claim. A savings

we're happy to pass along.
And now that we've reduced the number of crashes, cut down on theft and

kept fraud to a minimum, we're well on our way to
saving even more lives and preventing more
injuries. Not to mention, saving a few more dollars.
