Crofton, Ladysmith and Chemainus

Three thrift stores in the northern Cowichan valley.

The thrift store at Crofton, a community one on Joan Avenue between York and King, has been in some flux.  Currently it is part of a self-serve laundromat. It's small with a small selection of items. No furniture.  Prices seem to be reasonable.  Lots of free street parking.

Chemainus Hospital Auxiliary
Heading up to Chemainus, one finds a Hospital Auxilliary shop on the corner of Maple and Oak streets.  This store is well-organised but small, reflecting the small community.  Well patronised by the locals.  Free street parking.








Ladysmith Hospital Auxiliary
Up in Ladysmith on the corner of 1st and French is the local Hospital Auxilliary.  They do seem to get whatever the community gives, some of it thrown in the dumpster.  It's on the small side.  Quite an assortment of the usual.  Free street parking.
