Vera Eleanora Wille (1926-2017) and her husband Frank Wille (1925-2004) immigrated to Canada in 1953 from Germany, and established a successful car dealership business and amassed a real-estate portfolio. Their 9 children have decided to divest of 3 apartment buildings in Greater Victoria and release a large capital gain. Vera’s legacy has been recently celebrated at the Downtown Victoria YMCA with an exercise area named in her honour.
