Animal welfare
There are a number of animal welfare organisations that operate thrift shops. The SPCA doesn't really count as operating shops as the organisation licenses its name out to small operators in return for a cut of revenue. The Kelowna branch (or auxiliary) however does offer a monthly bazaar and lunch sale at the First United Church.
The SPCA has these franchise shops in Sidney, View Royal, Vancouver (2), North Vancouver, Surrey (Cloverdale), Richmond (Updated March 2017: Richmond has lost the smaller SPCA shop), New West and Port Alberni (updated 9 December 2016).
Other animal welfare shops include the Wildlife one in Vancouver, a horse rescue/welfare one in Langley, a cat one in Sidney (which also has an SPCA shop a street or two over). There is also a horse rescue on in Falkland but it has never been open whenever we've passed through.

Langley and Chilliwack, and Kelowna until 22 October
Appointment timing gave us an opportunity to wander through the Fraser Valley last week. Started at Cloverdale and worked our way to Chilliwack.
Three new thrift shops to list though we only visited two, and the demise of one of these is imminent.
The new one is the Thrift Barn of the Horse Protection charity where 222nd and 224th Streets meet in Langley SE of the city. Didn't as it is only open Thursdays to Saturdays. Lot parking.
Heading to Chilliwack on Airport Road between Yale and Young is another Hidden Treasures shop of the M2W2 prisoner peer counselling society. This shop took over an existing private one. All the various items except furniture. Lot parking.
We've long known about a SPCA thrift shop in Kelowna but don't head out its way anymore but made a special visit to this branch at Casorso and Benvoulin directly opposite from the SPCA. This store is in the ALR and was a produce stand called the Tomato King before it became among other things including an Asian crafts import store. It became a thrift store some 4 years ago but was ordered to close recently as it was solely involved in non-agriculture activities which is not allowed on ALR land. Last day was 22 October. Great as they had a 50% off sale and we got a good haul. SPCA store sales will be concentrated at the remaining store in Rutland which is good for us.

Cloverdale
Cloverdale in the eastern fringes of Surrey has at least two thrift shops.
Both northeast of the 56 Avenue and 176th Street junction. On 176A is the Eversafe Ranch. On 177B is the local SPCA.
Eversafe which assists families has a small but very well-organised shop. Usual assortment though not clothing heavy. Nice assortment of collectibles with reasonable prices. Street parking as well as a small adjacent private lot.
The SPCA is small medium and full of the usual things. Better organisation tan an average SPCA shop but prices here seem rather high. Parking lot out front.
