Visions One Hour Optical is 100% B.C. owned and operated and proud of it! We opened our first location in 1988, in Victoria B.C. Since then we have been proud to expand to our current 10 locations. We believe our success can be attributed to four things; great service, selection, value, and most importantly, our professional Opticians are second to none. Each of our Super Optical Stores offer over 1500 quality frames to choose as well as a wide array of lenses which are fabricated by our lab technicians, in our in store Optical Laboratories. Together this is an unbeatable combination allowing us to provide quality eyewear at better pricing than the American chain stores. Since we craft our eyeglasses in our in store laboratories, we can produce most orders in about an hour with impeccable quality control each step of the way. By not having to send your eyeglasses to a distant lab for processing we are able to save our customers both time and money.Giving back to the community has always been important to the Directors of Visions One Hour Optical. Visions One Hour Optical gives back through many corporate donations to local events and charities. Visions has sponsored Canuck Place, local sports teams, and been part of the popular food bank and Christmas tree programs. Visions is also proud to support third world eye care programs by donating new eyeglasses. The ten locations of Visions One Hour Optical are also donation points for used eyeglasses, which also go to the third world, giving needy people the gift of sight.

I admit, genealogical research is relatively new to me (the internet is my specialty), so if my results impress you, it's only because I stand on the shoulders of giants.

The passion for speed and performance that characterizes Speedway Motors has roots more than five decades deep back to the 1940s when the dealership's founder, Bruce Passmore, mortgaged everything he had to purchase the old Langford race track. Bruce's Langford Speedway became the best sprint track in Western Canada. It was the green flag for a string of successes to follow for the daring entrepreneur. In 1952, Bruce opened Speedway Auto Sales, a used car lot in Victoria. The next year a Volkswagen rep dropped by and Bruce got the Bug. Once again he put it all on the line, investing everything he had in 10 VWs and a one-car showroom at Yates and Quadra. In 1955, Porsche was added to the Speedway stable and by 1958, the company had moved to Yates and Vancouver and secured a Porsche franchise. Speedway grew through the 1960s and reached a singular plateau in 1967 when Audi joined the Speedway/Passmore family. The dealership became the only one in Canada to have Volkswagen, Porsche and Audi under one roof. During this period, Bruce's son Roy - who had not fallen far from the family tree - had been racing his Love Bug and selling cars in Vancouver. By 1971, Roy decided it was time to come home and he returned to Victoria to join the family business. Speedway moved to its current location at 3329 Douglas Street in 1985 and its founder, Bruce, was inducted into the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 1989. Indeed, his legacy of racing and performance has never been forgotten. Fifty-five years since Bruce Passmore risked it all to buy his first 10 shiny Volkswagens, Speedway continues to take the checkered flag as an outstanding, family-rooted Vancouver Island dealership.
