NEW for 2024, we’ve introduced the Business Breakthrough Blueprint! This is a 12-month program for women who have been in their business for at least 3 years and want to grow. This supportive, cohort-based learning opportunity is for a maximum of 10 people to ensure that everyone truly has a personalized, collaborative experience. The program will be led by Ingrid Vaughan of My Smart HR, whose Smart Leadership Academy has led to transformational change for managers, leaders, and whole organizations. Both members and nonmembers are invited to take part. This in-person experience will be held from 3-6 pm on the second Tuesday of every month starting September 10 and running to August 2025. Registration is open now, and only 10 spaces are available! And coming up before that, we’re delighted to be holding our signature event Viva La WestShore on April 12 after a five-year hiatus. In partnership with our Title Sponsor Elements Casino Victoria, it will be a night of fundraising fun with casino games, live prize auctions, canapes and conversation. Thanks to our Libations Sponsor Pearlman Lindholm Barristers & Solicitors guests will be greeted on arrival with a complimentary cocktail. Part of the purpose of this event is to support the Vancouver Island Y’s Financial Assistance Program to help send kids to Camp Thunderbird. We’ll do that through our live and silent auctions, and we are therefore seeking delectable donations that event attendees can’t wait to bid on. Interested in donating or purchasing tickets? Please go to westshore.bc.ca to find out more on all of these initiatives and more, or give us a call on 250-478-1130.

purchase real estate with a new style of home to consider.a Rowhomes are homes that share one or more common walls with neighbouring homes, yet provide freehold ownership to purchasers, meaning purchasers will have full and absolute ownership rights of the land and building. The term “freehold” means that the home is fee-simple (the highest form of private land ownership in BC) with no strata fees. Rowhomes are individually serviced; the owner will have their own utility accounts and does not share any of the municipal or utility services. A Party Wall Agreement registered on title at the BC Land Title Office, establishes basic requirements for each cluster of attached rowhomes. Rowhomes at Royal Bay each come with a single-car garage accessed from the rear laneway and two parking pads. All are outfitted with a 1-bedroom secondary suite in the basement, this mortgage helper increases affordability for families and investors.
