Photos of British Columbia
Canada's lush, mountainous Pacific Coast
Simply known as BC, British Columbia contains some of the most varied
and spectacular scenery in the world. To the east are the Rocky
Mountains, to the north are many lakes, forests, there is a small
desert in the south and the west of the province lies along the
Pacific Ocean coast. Heavily influenced from California, which is
easier to access than the rest of Canada, British Columbians live
a different lifestyle to the rest of Canada.
Victoria is located on Vancouver Island, closer to Washington State,
USA, than mainland BC. With the mildest climate in Canada, the capital
of British Columbia is home to 300,000 residents and is growing
fast. The tourist trade is a major factor, just like Vancouver,
but the line between what is laid on for the tourists and what is
truly authentic is a bit blurred.
One of the most spectacularly scenic cities in Canada, Vancouver
is nestled between the sea and the mountains in the very south west
of the province. As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in North
America, Vancouver is home to many new immigrants is easily the
third largest city in Canada (behind Toronto and Montreal).
