The Beautiful British Columbia
To start talking about this beautiful province, British Columbia
(also known as BC) dates back to July, 20 1871, where it was the
sixth province to join the Confederation. The people of the
province settled in different cities. Vancouver, Vancouver
island, Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Delta, and New
Westminster in the Lower Mainland, Abbotsford and Langley in the
Fraser Valley, Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, and Kelowna and
Kamloops in the Interior.

There is so much to do and see that it is hard to sum up in a
few words. You can go rafting down Fraser River, tour Victoria
City, golf and water sports in the Okanagan during the summer
time and ski and snowboard in the winter time. This is one
province that I would not want to miss out on. The natural
beauty of the mountains to your east and to the west is the
Pacific Ocean where you can take countless cruises up the side
of the province to take in the breath taken beauty.
