A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Wing cases, fiber bodies, maybe dry fly winging? The only Canada goose feathers I generally save are CDC and some shoulder feathers.
I have used the body feathers for tails, body, thorax, wings and hackle. Likewise the flank feathers. However like QKid I usually just save the CDC as there are feathers that I like better for tying.
However don't let this deter you. Use your imagination and you could be surprised by what you can come up with. Another item that I have been tempted to save is the downy feathers on the breast. I saved a few and they make easy dubbing but I was too lazy to try to dye them. maybe next year.
