Hey...any other Vancouverites out there? I'm actually from North Vancouver. I work at Capilano Rock and Gem, also in North Vancouver, part-time. I love it there! 

Not a Vancouverite, but definitely a fellow Canadian from Manitoba!! Welcome!

 I'm not a vancouverite either but am originally from central BC.  Now I'm in northern Alberta.  anybody know af any suppliers up here, they seem to be far and few between...

I'm from Sechelt-which is a ferry ride away from Vancouver.Capilano Rock and Gem is a great place!I really wish they had a website,but my bank account is probably grateful they don't,lol.

Hey there!
I am from Hope, BC, about 2 hours east of you!! 

I am from Parksville on Vancouver Island!!  Not too far away!

I'm a few hours north of you in the chilly part of the province. I spent a couple of years in North Van several years ago. Beautiful, and lucky you with many resources...Vancouver and the island are the perfect spot for any artisan I think. I may find my way there again one of these years...

 Mission here.

 MiddenMistress...Capilano Rock and Gem does have a website...it's a work in progress but it's a great start. The url is www.capilanorock.ca    They also do mail orders over the phone...sorry...I hope your wallet doesn't hate me. :-)

Kam1...I used to live in Parksville about 5 or 6 years ago...I love that place and would move back in a heartbeat. One of these days....

Been a while since this thread started but I'm a newbie here...in far northern BC!
