Lucky chap.
If you're in central Vancouver you'll probably find your nearest flight schools to be in Boundary Bay (
www.czbb.com), which has a whole load of them. It's about a forty minute drive from downtown. It's also a short hop from there to Bellingham or Friday Harbour if you're in the mood for some N registered action.
A couple of schools I'm happy to recommend would be
Pacific Flying Club -

You also might like to look at
Pro IFR/VFR -

I'm sure a quick call to any of the above would answer any questions you may have. Other local airfields with flying clubs are Pitt Meadows and Langley.
Good luck! SSS
