Hi all.
Visited the locker just now.
Here are some pictures
The open space for kayaks required bringing  kayaks up using a ladder – I found it very difficult.
The access to the building is from the back lane and the entrance requires parking downhill – it may not be easy when unloading / loading boats.

Hours to enter are only when locker office is
Open- 8am- 6 pm
No code or key required

There is a small open gear room included- so its possible to store some gear but keep in mind it’s not locked and its a common area

Dear SKABC,

My name is Herb Locke, and I operate a self-storage facility (Guardian Self Storage) in the heart of Mount Pleasant, Vancouver. We offer a unique service that I believe would be of great value to your club members: specialized storage for kayaks, including space for boats up to 20 feet long. We are locally owned business & have been operating for 21 years

As you know, Vancouver offers incredible outdoor opportunities, but finding a safe, secure, and convenient place to store kayaks, especially longer ones can be a challenge for urban residents.

Our facility is designed to solve this problem. We provide easy access, and our robust security systems including 24/7 video surveillance and secure gated access ensure peace of mind. Our central Mount Pleasant location makes it convenient for members to store their gear before heading out on the water.

All members who choose to store their kayaks with us will receive:

25% discount on storage (originally $55/month plus tax; with 25% off, the price is $41.25/month plus tax).
First month free for new members signing up between September 15 and October 15, subject to availability

.

Please feel free to reach out to Megh (Manager) directly at:
604-880-2806 or guardianstorage@telus.net

Best Regards,
Guardian Storage

I am planning to do rolling practice at Sasamat Lake this Thursdays 18th.

Meet up White Pine beach parking lot F at 2:30pm, then get ready and be in the water around 3pm, practice about two hours.

If anyone like practice rolling please come and join with me. I am more focus on rolling however if anyone like to join and do self/assisted practice, you are welcome to join.

Dry or wetsuit recommended. Nice to have nose plugs, ear plugs and goggles for those who are learning to role.

Kayak cart would be helpful to carry boats if available.

Please post comments on this forum or contact me directly if you have any questions.

I have aged out of ocean kayaking and I am selling all my long cherished stuff

– Boreal design Kevlar Nanook hi volume Kayak  which is great for touring; all lines replaced two years ago; I am 77 kg and have found it great to paddle but it will fit bigger people even better

– 2 paddles ( one carbon fiber and paddle tethers; – neoprene spray skirt, hatch cover, 2 paddle floats, bilge pump, throw rope, tow rope, deck compass, 2 deck bags,

Kokatat dry suit and large neoprene cover booties; Kokatat half dry suit ( needs accompanying kokatat jacket);

Kayak caddy that disassembles to store in hatch; two car roof rack kayak carriers;

New replacement for all of this stuff would probably run around $8000

I would like to sell this as a package deal and I am open to offers.

That’s is great Courtney. You should be able to leave around 4:30 without any issues. I won’t be able to come before 2:30pm but you can go there bit earlier and get ready. I can meet up at the beach. It is the last parking lot mark as lot F.

[Courtney Kohnen]

Hi Kapila! I’d love to join you, thanks! I’ll have to leave a little earlier though, around 4:30. (I can meet a little earlier too, if that helps!)

Dear friends and family, near and far, old friends and new,

It is with deep sadness, I share the passing of Paul Austin James Heraty who left us peacefully on June 26th, 2025, at the age of 72.

Paul was a man of remarkable strength, humour, and heart. He faced a long journey with Parkinson’s Disease and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with courage and grace.

He was a devoted husband, a loving father, a caring brother, a true friend, a gifted writer, and an explorer of both the natural world and the creative spirit.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday October 4th 2025 at 3:00pm at The Jericho Sailing Centre. Located at 1300 Discovery Street, Vancouver, BC.

More details will be shared very soon, but in the meantime, if you have any photos, memories, or stories of Paul that you’d like to share, please feel free to call or reply to this email.

We look forward to coming together to honor his life, celebrate his legacy, and remember a man whose spirit inspired everyone around him.

With Gratitude,

Georgia Heraty & Family

I saw this and thought maybe one of our members lost it?

Burnaby’s great! Does hastings and boundary work for you? Or any skytrain station.

[George Prevost]

Hi Graeme,

I’m in Kitsilano but often travel west from here to Kitsilano and east to Burnaby.
