Description
Beautiful British Columbia! That’s what it says on their license plates, and they are certainly telling the truth. There is endless beauty across this westernmost Canadian province.
This particular scene looks across False Creek from Granville Island towards downtown Vancouver. This area looks a lot different today than it did in 1986 when we visited it during the World’s Fair - Expo 1986.
I have visited Vancouver and other parts of British Columbia many times over the years for pleasure and for work. Dave and I honeymooned our way through the province in 1974. A couple years later, I chaperoned a dozen Saskatchewan 4-H members to a western Canadian conference in Vancouver - driving a 15 passenger van with no air conditioning in the high heat of summer and camping all the way there and back.
These are just a few of the memories of BC that also stand out in my mind: watching the waves roll in along Pacific Rim’s Long Beach near Tofino, exploring the Inner Harbor of Victoria, dining at Sooke Harbor House, visiting the wineries along the Naramata Bench, catching the salmon run on the Adams River, boating with friends on Okanagan Lake, skiing through the snow ghosts at Big White, hiking through the Othello Tunnels along the Coquihalla River, riding the ferry across Kootenay Lake, cooling our overheated hoofies in the waters of the Similkameen River, and singing around a community firepit at a campground in Blue River (north of Kamloops)
