Bob Wheaton
Bob was born and raised in Victoria and knows the city well. He attended Oak Bay High School, UVic, UBC and Simon Fraser Universities. During this period he became a Canadian swimming champion, holding records in several events. As a member of the Commonwealth Games team in Wales he won bronze and silver medals, followed by a silver medal at the Pan American Games in Chicago. As a member of the Canadian Olympic team in Rome, he finished fourth in the relay event. He was inducted into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame in 2003, and Oak Bay High School's Hall of Fame in 2005.

During his professional career Bob has worked with Westin Hotels, Dillingham Corporation, the Molson Group, and for 20 years was a General Contractor in Victoria, operating Wheaton Construction Ltd. and various other related companies. During this period, he became the Chair of the Construction Association of Victoria, as well as Chair of the B.C. Construction Association. He was also a member of the Bargaining Council of the B.C. Construction Labour Relations Association. Wheaton Construction built many well-known projects, from City Halls to shopping centers, bridges, tunnels, apartment buildings and university facilities.

Bob has always been actively involved in community affairs, serving as Vice President of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, Director of Tourism Victoria, Chair of the Greater Victoria Hospitals Foundation, Chair of the Greater Victoria Voters Association, Governor of the 1994 Commonwealth Games, Trustee of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, Governor of Glenlyon-Norfolk School, Chair of the 2006 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, Director of the Shawnigan Residents Association, as well as serving on the boards of numerous corporations, both private and public. He Chaired the first three Pacific Sport Golf Classics and continues to serve as a Leader of the United Way.

Soon after entering the Real Estate business, he became actively involved in the Victoria Real Estate Board, joining several committees and serving two years as a Director. He continues to take an active interest in all aspects of Real Estate, attending numerous educational courses each year, in order to ensure that his clients continue to receive the dedicated commitment Bob is so well known for.

Bob has always believed in giving back to the community he loves so well, and is renowned for practicing the old adage that says �If a job�s worth doing, it�s worth doing well�. He knows how important all decisions about buying and selling Real Estate are to his clients, and his dedicated commitment to their best interests always comes first.

He has three grown children, living in various parts of the world, and they too have become Canadians to be proud of.
