Where to get C3 parts in western Canada?
I took my 69 in for an out of province inspection and they found a few things not functioning. Among them were things like the w/s washer system and the 4 way flashers. Does anyone know of a supplier for these odds and ends? Anyone parting out a 69-72?

Sounds like regular parts store stuff,unless the car is going to be judged.I haven't bought anything yet from Corvette Corner in Edmonton,but they were more than willing to give a Calgarian a tour of the shop and talk vettes for a bit, you might want to give them a call.

Corvette Corner in Edmonton. Al is a great help and they have lots of used parts.
Corvette Specialties in Surrey
Corvette Central in US but is their own broker.

I just bought a C3 Steering Column from Corvette Corner.
$350.. all switches included. Al is the owner and Ken is the right hand man. They MAY have stock of some items... but not all. I notice that they do not have much inventory room.
They focus primarily on C2's and C3's
My experience was good as All and Ken were very helpful, much different than my Camaro parts experience.

Had to do an out of province on my 77 as well
. Had a problem with the w/s washer.. no pump got that from the local GM dealer, then I had to wire in the ground to a separate switch. How many Edmontonians does it take to install a pump ... 3 one to hold the flashlight, one to screw on the bolt, and one to hold the pump in place, with my hand in the gill 
. Corvette Corner provided me with the idler arm I needed it was used but in great shape. As for the lights, none of mine worked I changed them all out along with fuses lots were the wrong amps. Been on the road for over a year now...good luck!

I have used C-America a few times and was tired of brokerage fees etc..used Ken at Corvette corner in Edmonton for my appraisal and some minor parts...problem is they are/have sold the store.They never answer the phone anymore and when I stop in they are always closed.Hit and miss on as to what parts he may have.Found an great place out of Ontario www.UltimatePerformance.ca. they have everything thing I needed.Albeit they bring it in out of their US warehouse...prices were great,shipping a breeze and Only one charge for the frieght.Broke an alternator bracket on my '79 last week and stumbled upon Western Corvette in Calgary...again Lawrence was awesome via e-mail and on the phone.had the part and fired it up COD on the bus that day...I recommend both these.
