British Columbia
Shouldering the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Rockies to the east, British Columbia is perhaps Canada's most diverse province. Enjoy the legendary Rocky Mountains, world class winter sports at Whistler, sailing among the temperate Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands, and touring the world-class vineyards near Kelowna in Thompson-Okanagan. The fascinating cities of Vancouver and Victoria offer excellent cultural and sightseeing opportunities. The Sunshine Coast, Fraser Valley and Central and Northern BC all offer spectacular scenery.
