After experiencing the security theater that was created to deal with the "air threat" at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, which basically closed all the airspace around Vancouver for 2 months my advice is to take up sailing/golf/soccer/hiking and leave your aircraft on the ground. The hassles will just not be worth it.

Ironically the first for real airspace infringement of the ADIZ around Vancouver in 2010 was a light aircraft approaching the downtown core unannounced. The intercepting fighters did not have any trouble identifying it, as "Transport Canada" (ie the Canadian equivalent of the CAA) was prominatly marked on the side of the aircraft
