As far as is discussed online at least, the proofs of the year (as with specimen sets) were all minted in 80% silver, with 50% and 80% types both used for circulation strikes. Here, there is a proof listed. 

The Earth is a Triangle

You are correct. Perhaps there should be a notation on the proof line of .800 only  for clarification as the page states .500 and the line above it includes combined mintage of  both .500 and .800.  The Numista Canada catalog has always been a head spinner to me. Especially these transitional years with changing silver purity and composition. I usually reference Coins and Canada for clarifications.

Bumping this as it is yet to be solved.

 There is no Proof line on this page either -

According to the 2 main Standard Catalogs for Canadian coins, there were only:  MS, PL, and SP strikes for 1967 Canadian quarters.  No proofs.  According to Haxby, proof sets weren't even introduced in Canada until much later.

 

I submitted a CR to remove the Year Line which says “Proof” and move any existing users from that year line to the first one.  But since Numista doesn't have a referee for Canadian coins, I don't know who will review it.

Update:  it looks like the “Proof” Year Line has been removed.
