“I work out of our Campbell River branch, which also happens to be where I was born and raised. I moved away after graduating high school, attending BCIT in the lower mainland, but came back as soon as I finished school. I love Campbell River because of all the opportunities there are for an active, outdoor lifestyle, with fishing, skiing and hiking being a few of the many different options. Being able to see whales every day while out on the water is a particular favorite of mine!”

Connor Ludvigson – Land Surveyor in Training, Campbell River branch

“My partner and I had been living in Vancouver for years, and we were ready to buy our first home, get a dog, and have kids. An opportunity came up with McElhanney to move to Victoria. And it’s really nice – Vancouver Island is so unique. It’s a slower pace of life but the people are still driven and accomplish a lot. Everybody takes the time to stop and breathe. It’s truly West Coast living!”
