The Westshore branch management team has your best interests top of mind. Every day, we ask what more can we do for our clients, and put in the hard work to deliver.
Branch Director
Dwane is the long-standing Branch Director for the Victoria, Sidney, and Westshore offices of RBC Dominion Securities. His career trajectory started as an Investment Advisor in Regina. He quickly progressed to Assistant Branch Manager in Victoria, then Branch Manager for the Fraser Valley, and finally back to Victoria in 2004 as Branch Director.
He feels incredibly lucky to work with such an amazing management group, outstanding wealth managers, and tremendous support staff. During his tenure as Branch Director, Dwane has encountered many diverse client circumstances, and he is proud of the milestones his dedicated team has helped each client reach so far as they track toward future success.
In his spare time, Dwane enjoys physical fitness, golf (although it doesn’t love him back), reading, and walking Vesper, the family labradoodle, with his wife, Peg. Their three young adult children live in Ontario and Quebec, but they come home to humour their parents on the “Wet” Coast.
