Shouldering the Pacific Ocean on the western coast of Canada, British Columbia (B.C.) is perhaps the country's most culturally and topographically diverse province. Its ethnic depth and scenic beauty are simply astounding. Not only does the province have one of the country's highest rates of foreign immigration (and wonderful communities and traditions that accompany this), but it's also home to countless waterways, mountains, farmlands, forests and cities. In one trip to the province, a visitor can fish for salmon off the sun-bleached shores near Victoria, lounge in one of Vancouver's 5-star hotels, ski or snowboard the slopes of Whistler Resort in the Coastal Mountains and tour the world-class vineyards in the Okanagan Valley.
