Also - I want to point out that BC is a vast lush wonderland. I have camped near lake Okanagan and the Kootenai National Forest, island hopped off Tofino, dined and danced in Vancouver and taken a shower in Merrit.
It's the kind of province that could really give Ontario a run for its money, for attractiveness. Very underrated...
I think maybe its our underratedness that keeps it attractive. I've heard people praying for a harsh BC winter to deter an invasion of frustrated snowbirds flocking here and taking roost.
