Radium Hot Springs: Blessings

Another random search led to finding another thrift shop, this time in Radium Hot Springs.   One of the churches in Radium operates a thrift shop called Blessings, located on Main Street West. 

North Saanich: All Things Marine

A random search led me to find a thrift shop in far-distant North Saanich presumably near the ferry docks.

The All Things Marine thrift shop supports the Maritime Museum of B.C. in Victoria

Only open Fridays and Saturday 10-15

Duncan & Cobble Hill Church September Sales

A couple of years ago, we came across thrift sales at churches in Duncan and Cobble Hill.  These annual sales usually feature the best as two of the thrift shops are very small and open only a few days a week/month and the other saves everything for the one sale.

On the 15th is St John's Anglican Church in Cobble Hill

On the 22nd is Duncan United Church in Duncan

On the 29th is St Edward's Parish/Queen of Angels catholic school sale in Duncan (towards Maple Bay).  This last one does not regularly operate a thrift shop so everything's on for this day.

Please refer to Vancouver Island listing in the pages section

Esquimalt SPCA - Part II

I finally made it to the new Esquimalt affiliate thrift shop of the BC SPCA.  While it is housed in the same building as the previous shop, it is further south closer to Thrifty Foods.
.
Small shop with parking.

Note:  I have been informed by current management that the owners of the previous store currently operate the SPCA thrift shop in Sidney

Victoria: Another ReStore

I have a group-buy voucher for some paint but the hardware outlet closed before I could go into town and use it. The space is already spoken for and will be the home of yet another Habitat for Humanity ReStore will open there in a few months.

Esquimalt/Victoria SPCA thrift

I reported going to the Esquimalt SPCA thrift shop a few months ago only to find a pet supplies store where it used to be.

It appears that the store has relocated nearby, at 1497 Admirals Road near the Thrifty Foods, under new management.
