Actually, the correct ammo for your firearms correct keys and mags.
Along with some good gun lubricant and a good gun cleaning kit for your firearms.

Proper screwdrivers for dissassembling your firearms so you don't bugger up the screws.

If you have restricted/prohibs, then don't forget your registration papers! Keep a copy in your range bag.

A good spotting scope to save walking to check your targets!

Professional instruction on grip techniques can go a long ways to start you on the right track instead of developing less effective habits that you have to try and break yourself of later on down the road.

Good training is a great investment.

More thanks for the replies everyone!

Are there any shooting courses/trainers anyone would personally recommend near Vancouver? I have looked a little online at Silvercore's courses as they are who I took my cfsc/crfsc through. I found the course very good and the instructors great but the class had about 30 people in it. It wasn't a problem in that case but I think I would like more one on one with an instructor for actually learning fundamentals and technique.

I'm interested to hear what miscellaneous items the members here consider must-haves. Are there books, tools, stands, cases, supplies, etc... that you consider essential? Any information, be it a recommendation, tips, hacks, or things to steer clear of, appreciated.

Funny sarcastic comments also encouraged!

Gun safe and trigger locks. Safe storage is an absolute must. I also like carbon fibre cleaning rods.

Find some older guys to mentor you, on shooting, reloading, hunting, trust me when I say it's a lot easier than trying to learn on your own.
