Long Standing Tradition in the Community

Pemberton Holmes has been providing real estate services in Victoria since 1887.  It’s no wonder that traces of the company’s founders are found throughout the community.

An interesting historical side-note the founder of our company J.D. Pemberton and his wife Theresa made some significant donations in their lifetime including the donation of the property used for the Victoria Golf Club.  As suchVGC has kindly named the annual service award in honour of the family.  Below are a couple of pictures taken from an evening of recognition and celebration enjoyed by approximately 100  Members on Thursday, May 5.

Vincent Holmes, great grandson and Richard Holmes great great grandson were in attendance. Mike Holmes did not attend as he was still worried they might remember him from when he used to sneak on the third tee.

Mr. Keith P. Walker was presented with the first Pemberton Award of Merit. This award recognizes outstanding volunteer service to the Club and its Members.
