Downtown, expect to feed the standard two hour meter. You get three minutes for 10 cents, 7.5 minutes for a quarter and 30 minutes for $1. The City of Vancouver polices its street and metered parking with standard $35 parking tickets. Metres are in operation until 10:00 PM, 7 days a week. Also be careful not to park in rush hour zones during rush hour. Be careful of the color of the meter!! Red means you can only park for 15 minutes. Do not attempt to park in a tour bus loading zone, within 5 metres (yards) of a fire hydrant, alley, driveway, or intersection. You WILL be ticketed and possibly have your vehicle impounded depending on the city officals discretion.

Tickets & Towing

If you are one of the many unfortunates to get a City of Vancouver parking ticket, you have 15 days to pay until you are sent a final notice for payment which gives you another 15 days to remit payment. If your ticket remains unpaid then the city issues you a violation ticket which either sets a court date scheduled approximately one month after the violation ticket has been issued or sends your ticket off to a goverment owned collection agency which can effect your credit if you owe more than $150.00 in ticket(s). If you fail to appear in court then you are found guilty in absence and an additional fine of $20.00 is added to the outstanding ticket. You can get also arrested for "Failure to Appear in Court" at which time you will be asked to pay your outstanding fines...or else stay a while... Usually the police are quite nice and often drive you by your local friendly instant teller on the way to the police station or give you a stern waring to man up and pay because they are too busy at the time.. But even if you happen to be lucky enough to evade the police ... the city will eventually collect its dues when you go to renew your driver's license or vehicle registration or decide to take a loan from the bank. You must first pay the entire sum of your outstanding fine(s) before getting your renewal. If you get a city parking ticket, we suggest you just pay it. Should you happen to receive a parking ticket issued by anyone of the private parking companies around town and do not pay it in the stipulated time, then it will most likely make its way to a city collection company (we have yet to be contacted by anyone of these companies). If you continue to violate the parking regulations on any of their lots then they may tow your car to the city impound lot.

Towed & Impounded Vehicles

The well-secured impound is open seven days a week 24-hours a day. If your car gets towed from a Vancouver city street, call Buster's Towing at (604-685 7246) and head to the impound lot which has recently moved from under the Granville Street Bridge and is now near Main & Terminal.  You can phone Buster's at 604-685-7246 Many private parking lots downtown (like the Impark ones) are patrolled by Drake Towing (604-251-3344) If your vehicle has been impounded because of a city parking infraction, and you pick it up the same day, be prepared to pay a $70 towing charge and then a $9 a day charge when your vehicle is in the impound. Pay with cash or a credit - or debit card. The value of the parking ticket will vary with where and when you parked. From private property, check for signs on the property: they will show the name of the towing company and their phone number. The rate for Private Impounds (towing off private property) is: $71 plus HST for the first 24 hours, $11/day storage thereafter The impound also requires presentation of your valid license and proof of ownership . If somebody other than the owner of the vehicle tries to un-impound a vehicle, then they must have the owner's written authorization and proof of ownership with their own valid license.

Parking Lots

There are a lot of parking lots in downtown Vancouver. Parking in Vancouver comes in three flavours: surface, above ground, and underground. There are more than 400 parking lots in Vancouver. Most office buildings have downtown parking for their tenants and visitors and there are several public parkades for the public.

Royal Vancouver Yacht Club

The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club ( RVYC ) is a yacht club located in Vancouver , British Columbia. Royal Vancouver Yacht Club currently operates two marinas, the one at Jericho Beach in English Bay and another in Coal Harbour . The Jericho site includes a clubhouse, two restaurants, and berths enough for 350 as well as a dinghy dock. In 2017 the award-winning Dock Building was completed, designed by Michael Green Architecture , providing offices for the Harbour Master, instruction and amenity space and workshops to maintain boats, sails, and gear. [1] The Coal Harbour site has approximately 350 berths, some with covered moorage, and is the location of the floating restaurant called The Mermaid Inn. [2] The club also has seven offshore stations in BC waters.

List of Offshore stations

Notable members, external links.

The club was founded as the Vancouver Yacht Club in 1903. [3] The club officially became the 'Royal Vancouver Yacht Club' in 1906. J. Kennerly Bryan and his partner Mr. Waterson designed the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club club house in Stanley park (1910). [4] The permanent yacht club located at Jericho Beach was opened 21 years later in 1927. [3] Fred Laughton Townley & Mr. Matheson designed the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club club house on Point Grey Road at Highbury Street in 1926 [5]

In 1940–41, the Royal Canadian Navy Reserves scheme for training yacht club members developed the first central registry system. [6]

In 1970, George A Cran edited 'Annals of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, 1903–1970' which was condensed and rewritten from records of G.B. Warren, first historian of the club, and the personal recollections of the members of the History Committee, R.V.Y.C., by Norman Hacking.' The Club Annals provides a history of the RVYC's "founding, granting of the Royal Charter, prominent early yachtsmen, racing contests and trophies, officers of the Club, and a general review of sail and power boat activity for sixty-two years in the waters of Burrard Inlet and English Bay, Vancouver, B.C., and Gulf of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada." [7]

In 1986, M. Watson MacCrostie edited 'Annals of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, 1971–1985': an updating of the history of Club's members, boats, events and trophies as they appear (or have been amended) in the Year Books, Seabreezes and Annual Reports of the years 1971–1985. The information was taken and rewritten from the records and pictures in the Archives of the Club [8]

In 2003, as part of the Club's centennial celebrations, James P Delgado wrote 'Racers and rovers: 100 years of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.' [9]

The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club has a collection of model yachts. 'My Calliope', for example, designed by naval architect Jack Hargrave was donated to the club on 31 May 2012. [10]

Vancouver’s 1970 Battle of the Beach: Parking or Public Access?

If you were on the planet in the 1970’s you will recognize the strange egg shaped fur hat  which instantly dates this photo to that time. This is Marion Leonard who lived above the beach at 3697 Cameron  with her dog  Lady.  You can see the pilings of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club’s docks at Jericho just behind.

This wonderful photo was posted by Garry Korhonen  on the Facebook page Sentimental Vancouver.  He captioned the photo from the Vancouver Express as:  “Protesting plans to convert private beach to  a public parking lot for Royal Vancouver Yacht Club are Mrs Leonard and her dog Lady. Club’s proposal calls for 179 vehicle lot to be constructed on beach below Pioneer Park north foot of Alma” .

This is the park where the pioneer Hastings Mill Store is located.

You can’t make this stuff up. And here is how it happened.

Tom “Terrific” Campbell was a mayor from the NPA party  and he had willingly posed on a demolition wrecking ball as a posted photo. This Mayor Campbell was a lawyer,outspoken, and unabashedly pro development. He championed the decimation of Strathcona and Chinatown for a new highway. He urged the building of the underground mall in downtown Vancouver, wanted to demolish the downtown Carnegie Library, and wanted to build a hotel on Stanley Park.He also turned out to be invested in some of the projects he was urging development for.

The “battle of the beach” began in February 1970  when city hall’s Technical Planning Board approved an application from the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club (RVYC) to build a private parking lot for 179 vehicles on the beach below the park on Alma. The lot would be 530 feet long and jut out 160 feet over the water’s edge.

Here’s the kicker: This parking lot would adjoin the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club’s property at 3511 Point Grey Road and the entire project had previously been approved by the Park Board.

The RVYC leases the water lots in front of the park from the provincial government for floats and for water access.

Two days after the approval from the Technical Planning Board, the Board of Appeal (now called the Board of Variance)  heard six appeals against the application (which can be done on the basis of hardship), but ruled in the yacht club’s favour. At Council the vote was 5 to 4 in favour of the yacht club with Mayor Tom Campbell of course voting for the parking lot.

Over four hundred residents rallied against the project at a public meeting, with Councillor Harry Rankin in his undeniable use of verbiage and wit proclaiming the project as “incredibly incompetent and stupid”. 

It was Art Phillips (who later served as mayor in 1973) that suggested that the project be deferred until December of the year after a new Council had been elected, pointing out that two senior city hall staff (who just happened to be the city lawyers) Russell Baker and his deputy Charles Fleming) were also yacht  club members.

The case for approving the building of a parking lot on a public beach fell apart. But here’s what Mayor Tom Campbell has to say about the project at council:

“We have to consider what was best for the children of Vancouver who use the club. We have to consider how it affects the beach. The land there isn’t really a beach. It’s on a lease to the club and unavailable to the public in any event. There was a suggestion that parking be provided on city land in a residential area but that would amount to subsidizing the yacht club and we couldn’t consider that. It was a most difficult decision to make but we decided it would be more benefit to allow the parking than to not allow it”.

Last word, as always goes to Councillor Harry Rankin who retorted

“Its a form of political senile decay setting in. If you were to list waterfront uses, a parking lot would be about 10,000th on the list. This decision is the ultimate in arrogance as far as the NPA is concerned”.

You can read some of the story in this Province Newspaper from March 26, 1970  here and also take a look at the old council reports in the archives on this  kiboshed beach parking proposal .

Still miss Harry Rankin. Bless him for denying “the children of the Vancouver Yacht Club” their parking lot😉.

Every governing body needs a Harry Rankin.

Unable to even let me know if they can accommodate vegans. Extremely snooty tone on the phone. Ironic how they can probably accommodate gluten intolerance but won't even make the slightest attempt to accommodate an ethical belief

Built on Tradition - Embracing the Future

The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club (RVYC) was founded in 1904 and moved to this location in 1905.  The original buildings were built on pilings with access from the circular driveway behind you.

The parking lot across the road was a buffalo paddock.  Construction work on the Stanley Park Seawall began in 1917 and by the early 1920s had reached where the Aquarium is today so the decision was made to remove the buildings on pilings and re-establish them on the water to make room for the seawall.

The photo below shows the RVYC marina and Vancouver skyline ca. 1937.  The prominent buildings are (R to L); Hotel Vancouver; Old Hotel Vancouver, Dominion Building, Woodwards.

RVYC is committed to protecting the environment; all our marinas are Green Marine certified by the Georgia Strait Alliance, with Coal Harbour receiving their highest rating.

Our seven Offshore Stations are also Green Marine Certified.  RVYC also gives back to the community with programs for underpriviledged children and/or children with disabilities: like Boat for Hope, the Special Children's Cruise, Leukemia Cup and the Easter Seals Regatta.  We also support the Disabled Sailing Association.
