Fort Properties would like to say thank you to our dear friend and building manager Ross Lane, upon his retirement. Ross has cared tirelessly for our building on 5th street in Courtenay for more than a decade. It was our good fortune when Ross decided to make our building his home. There was no problem he couldn’t fix with his creative and knowledgeable solutions, and he made this little building a true community for all its inhabitants. We marvelled at his ability to transform old motorcycles into works of beauty, and with the addition of his beautiful poodle, Jett, he quickly became a beloved fixture of the Courtenay community. Ross has bravely faced declining health in recent years and met these challenges with the integrity that is so true to his character. We wish you well, dear friend. It has been a blessing to have you in our lives. With love, Suzanne, Jayne, Brent, Jordon, Jamie, Sarah, and Elaine.

A message for the regulars 🥐☕️🔑
As we move forward with the search for another great addition to the Fort & Blanshard corner, we want to share the sweet messages left by the Starbucks employees as they said their goodbyes to 801 Fort St.
Interested in this highly visible corner unit? We’d love to hear from you 🔗 visit fortproperties.ca/vacancies for information.

Today we say goodbye to one of Fort Properties’ most longstanding tenants, Starbucks. The café at 801 Fort Street made history as the very first Starbucks on Vancouver Island when it opened its doors in 1994. Over the years, it became known not only for its coffee but also for its incredible staff, who built lasting connections through exceptional service to the community. While we’re sad to see them go, we’re also excited to see what the future holds for the corner of Fort and Blanshard.
This month marks 12 years since @belovevictoria opened its doors and began serving vibrant, plant-powered meals to the community. With gratitude for all the support over the years, they celebrate over a decade of conscious food, connection, and compassion. Here’s to many more years of love on a plate! #fort #victoria #yyjfood #belove

Our hearts are full of gratitude and love as we say goodbye to our favorite guy. He was the best dad, and we have so many memories of the joy and love we shared at home and at work.
We will miss him terribly, and also we are the luckiest that we had him for as long as we did.
❤️ The Bradbury Family
