Cick on a region to explore
|
Ranked as one of the world's healthiest and most livable places, British Columbia, situated on Canada's west coast, is a province that is full of energy and incredibly rich in adventure. The third most populated province in Canada, BC's breathtaking beauty and economic prosperity create an ideal lifestyle for single professionals, young families and established couples. The diverse landscape of the province offers world-class skiing, unsurpassed agricultural heartlands and a rugged coastline that contrasts the soothing waters of the Pacific Ocean.
West coast cities like Vancouver and Victoria feature mild winters and warm breezy summers, making outdoor activities accessible year round - ski, cycle, golf, or swim 12 months of the year. Vancouver, host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, showcases some of the provinces best dining and shopping. Visit the capital city of Victoria, affectionately known as the city of gardens, and enjoy a stroll along the inner harbour speckled with boutique shopping and exquisite restaurants. The Interior and Okanagan areas of the province boast rich vineyards, family-oriented ski hills and rugged hiking trails. The lakes of Kelowna and neighbouring towns buzz with summer activity, and the dry, hot climate of Oysooyos yields some of the country's best fresh produce. The northern experience is defined by pristine wilderness, heavily forested valleys and turquoise-coloured glacier lakes, and the diverse communities of the north feature a wealth of cultural and historical highlights. Residents of British Columbia proudly believe in 'work-play balance.'
After a rewarding day at work, British Columbians unwind by enjoying a long stroll in one of the province's many parks and seawalls, cycling through BC's network of challenging bike trails, or joining friends in a lively pub. British Columbia has something for everyone wanting to live the "west coast style". Baby BC offers a variety of opportunities in both urban and rural areas throughout the many regions of this incredible province.
