Highlands United Church, North Vancouver

 New, or at least relatively new to me.  I only learned about this thrift shop last October just before embarking on a long trip away from home.

Located in Edgemont Village (presumably). 

Possibly the only United Church thrift shop in the lower mainland (may still be some in east Vancouver and Burnaby).
