Do you want to explore our untouched wilderness
and gaze at our scenic splendour? Or would you rather explore
our art galleries and museums and our exciting sports and
music scene? Do you want to climb mountains or ski down them?
Or would you prefer to stretch out on a beach and do nothing
at all?
Our waters are of a decidedly therapeutic
nature. And we have abundance. From mountain streams and rolling
rivers to tranquil lakes and the Pacific Ocean, our waters
are sources of endless pleasure. For catching salmon and trout.
Sailing across. Diving into or paddling on. Of course, you
don’t have to be that involved to benefit from our water
therapy. You can walk along the shore. Build a castle in the
sand. Or simply find a quiet cove and snooze in the sun. In
British Columbia, you’ll find numerous ways of going
with the flow.
You’ll find it’s not just the
altitude that takes your breath away. Untouched. Unspoiled.
Unbelievably beautiful. When you travel up and off the beaten
path in British Columbia, you’ll be rewarded with some
of the most spectacular scenery North America has to offer.
Mountain peaks protecting pristine lakes. Misty old-growth
forest carpeted with dew-soaked ferns and moss. Pitch a tent
or just hike in for the day. There’s nothing to spoil
your view, or your experience. In British Columbia, you can
see nature as it was meant to be seen, in all its breathtaking
glory.
Come face to face with our history. The
mists of time seem to linger in British Columbia. Because
our past is very much a part of the present. Here you can
experience the proud heritage of our First Nations peoples,
the spirit of our pioneers, and one of the last empire outposts
of Victorian England. A tapestry of countries and cultures
meet and mingle here, affording you the opportunity to sample
the sights, sounds, tastes and traditions of many lands. And
what’s more, you can do it all in just a single day.
Well, perhaps two.
You’ll find our interiors quite expansive.
Inland from our coast there’s a place that’s renowned
not just for what it has, but for what it doesn’t have.
Here, traffic congestion occurs only at round-up and over
population refers exclusively to the wildlife. What you’ll
find is room. And plenty of it. Enough to stretch your legs,
and your mind. Ride the range, play a round, or sample the
latest vintage. So come explore our wide open spaces. And
while you’re here spreading your wings, take inspiration
from the eagles spreading theirs.
We’ll always leave a light on for
you. It could be the mountains. Or maybe it’s the ocean
that makes the light here a little more inviting. It turns
our windows into a welcoming blaze. Day or night. In sunlight
or neon. Our cities offer up international shopping, five-star
restaurants, and the latest Broadway musicals. Not to mention
major sporting events, museums, art galleries, and more. And
if all that sounds slightly overwhelming, you can catch your
breath in one of our numerous parks and manicured gardens.
