It's probably too late for your friend by now, but the local Amiga users
group in Vancouver is PaNorAmA (Pacific Northwest Amiga Association).
They meet the 2nd Wednesday of the month at the BC Institute of Technology
on Willingdon in Burnaby.  I dropped in on their September meeting and
they seem a knowledgable and friendly bunch.  There are a number of

stores in the area that seem keen on the Amiga -- Conti Computers on
Broadway was where I got my information (I disclaim any commercial
intent here...!) --; I didn't find the Fish Disks there, but they did
have a large public domain collection, including some locally developed
stuff.
