The two suggestions I had (Jericho Sailing Centre and False Creek Paddle Club) look prohibitively expensive, >$300 per year for individual membership.

Might be outdated but have you tried this?

Kayak storage
Indoor secure storage space is available for kayaks year round at the English Bay Boathouse. Call 604-736-5155 for details.

any of the local marinas or storage facilities? Or what about checking some of the industrial areas for small industries that might like to make a few spare bucks.
another idea is that I stored someone's plastic beater yak outside for quite a few years and had the use of it whenever I wished. Different situation now, but maybe if you offer a similar situation to others, that may be an option if the kayaks are not precious.
As you mention theft, another option [that I use] - if they're not precious also- is to downdress or artistically 'distress' the yak so it is not a 'worthwhile' target. [the function is what's important not the appearance, and if [some]waterbased or duct tape, it just washes or peels off anyway]

I don't know if he still does it, but Peter Loppe at Lotus Land tours used to lease a room in the boathouse at English Bay to store the kayaks he used for tours, and sublet rack space to other kayakers, SUPers, and canoeists.

Update to the above: just remembered Vancouver Water Adventures took over that storage room a few years ago. Don't know if they're offering still offering storage to the public.
