British Columbia 14 Beautiful British Columbia’ is boldly written on all the province’s car licence plates and BC, as it is commonly known, is where you’ll find many of Canada’s most fabulous natural features. A good place to begin is BC’s largest city, Vancouver, a young and vibrant metropolis that is consistently voted one of the world’s most attractive cities to live. This is easy to believe as it is overflowing with rich cultural experiences, ‘ exceptional wildlife viewing and plenty of outdoor activities for everyone. On Vancouver Island the provincial capital, Victoria, is a colonial gem, with an old-world charm and a mild Pacific climate. The province’s spectacular scenery includes the famed coastal Inside Passage, the old-growth rainforests and big surf beaches of Vancouver Island, the vast cowboy country of the Cariboo, the orchards and vineyards of the Okanagan Valley and the Kootenay Rockies with their bears, elk and eagles. The First Nations of the Pacific seaboard are renowned for their totem poles and longhouses and after many years of oppression the native cultures and arts are now resurgent. BC is four times the size of Great Britain and its northern half, bordered by Alaska and the Yukon, is a largely pristine wilderness of glaciers, fjords, lakes and waterfalls.
