Float flying is best done on the central BC lakes, (no logs, which are known to be in the Fraser River nearer Vancouver). Air-Hart in Kelowna is worth an inquiry:

For wheels rental, inquire at Pitt Meadows, or Boundary Bay. Pitt is further east, which keeps you a little farther away from busy YVR controlled airspace. Great sightseeing on a clear day (hold out for the good weather day). You can fly to Chilliwack for lunch, or Hope for even more scenery. If you fly from Boundary Bay, beautiful scenery out toward Vancouver Island. There are website links for schools at each airport.

Last week's test flying north of Vancouver, I never tire of looking at the mountains....
