CALGARY, Sept. 4, 2012 /CNW/ - Olympia Financial Group Inc. (TSXV: OLY) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary Olympia Trust Company ("Olympia") has been granted a license to operate as a non-deposit taking trust company in the Province of Quebec.  The license was granted by the Autorité des marchés financiers ("AMF") pursuant to An Act Respecting Trust Companies and Savings Companies (Quebec).

Olympia was also granted licenses to operate in Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador on May 31, 2012 and May 29, 2012, respectively.  As such, Olympia is now permitted to operate as a non-deposit taking trust company in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.  Olympia has filed applications for trust licenses in the Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
