Helping people live and grow together
Proline Management Ltd., which was founded in 1985, continues to work to transform the property management industry with a philosophy of helping people live and grow together by creating connections within and amongst the communities they serve. They do this through relentless improvement and the development of educational programs and work product that fosters understanding. This growing and expanding business includes founder Eric Spurling, his son Andy Spurling (President), his wife Marilyn and son-in-law, Brad Felt. The company has grown to over 50 employees in offices in Victoria, Westshore, Nanaimo and, most recently, in Courtenay.
Bringing nourishment to the community
Café Bliss, founded by Heather Cunliffe, opened its doors in Victoria in 2008 and good things have been flowing through them ever since. Heather’s brother, Joe Cunliffe, joined as business partner in 2010 and their father, Ayrie, designed space as they expanded. They opened Be Love in 2013, a second Café Bliss location at Whole Foods in 2016 and a third location in downtown Vancouver during the summer of 2018.
Helping guests make new friends and great memories
Award Winning Lodge
Carolyn & Steve Touhey
Million Dollar View
Two Eagles Lodge is a waterfront bed-and-breakfast and vacation rental in the Comox Valley which started with the purchase of 12 acres of forest. The lodge was designed and built by Carolyn and Steve Touhey in 2007. Together their aim was to ensure guest privacy, plenty of community space, and to showcase the million-dollar view of the coastal mountains, islands, and Salish Sea. Two Eagles Lodge has become an internationally acclaimed and award-winning lodge.
