There are always exciting things to do in British Columbia. In fact, the challenge in British Columbia is not figuring out what do to, but how to do it all. There are myriads of municipal, provincial and national parks, in which to walk, hike and bike. Thanks to a temperate climate, golf enthusiasts can indulge in their passion nearly year round. In the mountains, powder snow draws skiers from around the world. And BC’s coast and waterways are perfect for fishing, canoeing and kayaking, river rafting and diving. Spectacular viewpoints, wildlife viewing opportunities (including whale-watching tours or bear watching-tours) and many sites of historic and cultural interest are found throughout British Columbia.
