Proline currently has a team of two strata managers and an administrative assistant working out of its mid-Island office and provides accounting and leadership support from its home base in Victoria. Proline now manages over 8.300 units on Vancouver Island with a team of 39 people. The Senior and Junior Spurlings continue to enjoy the challenges of building a successful business together on Vancouver Island.

What CAFE Vancouver Island Members are Saying About CAFE
“I can’t say enough good things about CAFE. There’s a huge advantage in developing a succession plan and CAFE has provided the training and education to do that. I’ve also received significant help from CAFE’s Personal Advisory Group, where I can talk about business issues and family issues with my peers. Of course, there’s the valuable informal networking that goes on there too.”
- James McKenzie, CEO of Monk Office
