October is a big birthday month at Proline! Twelve members of our team celebrate another trip around the sun, and four share the same special day on October 21 – today!

With 20% of our staff blowing out candles this month, the top cake‑day picks are Black Forest cake, cheesecake, and cinnamon buns. Delicious!

We’re halfway through our October food drive! If you’ve already dropped something off at our Langford office, thank you.

Protein is one of the things food banks need most, so if you can add a jar of peanut butter, a can of tuna or chicken, or some beans to your next grocery run, please do.

You can drop off at 888 Attree Avenue, Monday to Friday, 9:30 to 4:30, until the end of October, and it all goes to the Goldstream Food Bank. Everything needs to be unopened, and they can’t take anything homemade.

Please help us feed people!

The Golden Whisk has been awarded! Last week our SWAG (Social & Wellness Action Group) hosted our annual Goldengiving event, an amalgamation of the Golden Whisk and Thanksgiving lunch. Congratulations to Braonain and Lauren, who tied for the whisk this year with their stew and scalloped potatoes!

We used to have both a cooking competition/potluck event at which the Golden Whisk would be awarded to the person with the winning dish, voted on by their peers, as well as an annual Thanksgiving lunch, but that number of food-based gatherings in one month was a little excessive even for us at Proline.

Thus was born the Goldengiving event. Lots of food, a little competition and an abundance of gratitude for a great tradition that through creativity and a willingness to change has morphed into something even better!

One of the bonuses that come out of the event is the recipes that get shared afterwards.

What would you bring to Goldengiving, and can you please share the recipe? We want to win that whisk!

We’re not bucking the trend. Yes, we know that every feed is filled with posts about gratitude and being thankful, since this is literally the point of this holiday.

And we’re jumping right on that bandwagon, because it feels good to recognize and celebrate all that we are grateful for, even when everyone else is doing it too. It’s a trend we can get behind!

We’re grateful for a team that takes care of each other and themselves, that is open to learning, even when they make mistakes, who are willing to talk about real or difficult things if those are the things that need to be talked about, who show up with compassion, patience, and when necessary, strength and purpose.

And who laugh and play and celebrate together too.

We are grateful for the teachers who help us continually learn and grow (relentless incrementalism on display!)

We are grateful for the clients who trust us and work with us to take care of each of their homes and communities, and for the volunteers who spend hours doing things that will never be celebrated or even seen, but that quietly make each of their communities tick along.

Thank you all. And Happy Thanksgiving!

There’s a great little event happening in Nanaimo tomorrow, and we’re proud to be sponsoring it! The first Downtown Nanaimo Harvest Festival is on Saturday, October 10, from 2 to 6 pm at Maffeo Sutton Park.

The Spirit of Nanaimo Society is hosting it, and we love how they put it: “Community isn’t only about helping one another when something is wrong. It’s also about creating opportunities for people to simply enjoy being together.”

There will be free hot chocolate, a scarecrow contest, fall bracelet making and crafts for all ages, a harvest photo backdrop, a community gratitude wall, and Harvest Trivia, the part we’re sponsoring. If you’re able, bring coats, blankets, or new socks for their Community Warmth Initiative, which collects them for people in need.

You can find all the details on their Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1040393262066610/

It’s free, and everyone’s welcome!

Our team had an amazing day at Uplands Golf Club for the The Digital Commerce Group Open ProAm in September. In their own words:

“It is just such a totally positive experience.”
“This is my FAVOURITE event of the year and I’m grateful to be able to participate.”
“It is one of the highlights of my year.”

Thanks to all the planners, organizers, course personnel, players and volunteers who make this annual event such a success.

Our team member Sam has decided to do a hard thing. He’s signed up for the 2026 Royal Victoria Marathon, doing the Outway Half Marathon and in doing so has chosen to support Habitat for Humanity as part of the event. The race is this Sunday, October 11.

As Sam shared with our team, “I haven't done much long distance running since the last time Andy and Paul were kind enough to train me and support me trying to do a charity initiative, but I really want to give it another go.

“Running is something I've always wanted to do well, it feels like adventuring for me, and much to my old man knees' dismay, I am not going to stop working towards accomplishing long distance running.”

And bonus, when you're training in the early morning, you get some epic sunrise shots!

Habitat for Humanity Victoria B.C. is a registered charity that brings communities together to help families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership. It raises funds, mobilizes volunteers, and builds safe, quality homes that are sold to families in need through no-profit mortgages with manageable monthly payments.

Donate here to support Sam and the important work that Habitat for Humanity does in our communities: https://raceroster.com/events/2026/111326/2026-royal-victoria-marathon/pledge/participant/47080325

We love food. And we want to share food with others.

All through October, we’re running a food drive at our head office in Langford, and everything we collect goes to the Goldstream Food Bank at the end of the month. You can find out more about the food bank at goldstreamfoodbank.org.

Lots of organizations focus on food donations in December, but this is a year-round issue for so many people in our community. And since October is such a food-focused month, with Thanksgiving dinners and harvest celebrations, we thought it would be the perfect time.

Not sure what to bring? The food bank’s list includes lots of family staples: cereal, peanut butter and jam, fruit cups and canned fruit, granola bars and other school snacks, pasta and pasta sauce, and canned soup. Everything needs to be unopened, and they can’t take anything homemade.

Drop off at 888 Attree Avenue, Monday to Friday, 9:30 to 4:30. Please help us feed people!
