Going to tow up to Vancouver Island. Anybody in the region know where to
buy Gulf Island and Ucluelet charts?

You'll need Vancouver Island west for Ucluelet and Vancouver Island
East for the Gulf Islands if you buy the raster CD's.

Be sure to carry an official Canadian tide and current table as well.

People are not often stopped up in Canada, but if you are stopped they
place a great emphasis on having official Canadian Hydrographic charts
aboard.

You might find a "deal" on a paper chart someplace as well.....Canada
just cancelled either most or all of the reseller's licenses earlier
this spring and CHS is going to be pretty much the sole official
source of official charts.
