About British Columbia

British Columbia (BC) is Canada’s wild west coast, where towering mountains crash into the Pacific Ocean. A funny fact about British Columbia: Vancouver has so much sushi that it’s been called the “sushi capital of North America”—even though it’s nowhere near Japan. With a mix of rugged wilderness and laid-back city living, BC is the ultimate spot for adventure and chill.

The province is famous for its stunning scenery—snow-capped Rockies, ancient rainforests, and over 27,000 kilometers of coastline. Vancouver is a bustling global city with beaches, nightlife, and film sets around every corner, while Victoria blends old-world charm with island vibes as BC’s capital.

Outdoor life rules here: skiing Whistler’s slopes, hiking mountain trails, kayaking the coast, or spotting whales in the Strait of Georgia. Add in a strong arts and music scene, Indigenous heritage, and year-round festivals, and BC proves why it’s one of the most iconic provinces in Canada.
