British Colombia is a rich and varied province with a remarkably diverse geography, climate and activities. As the most western province in Canada, B.C. is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Rocky Mountains and the Alberta border on the east. There's something for everyone between B.C.'s rocky coastlines, sandy beaches, forests, lakes, mountains, inland deserts and grassy plains. B.C. also boasts a sky of flickering green, blue, and purple light with the aurora borealis which can be seen in Northern BC from November through March.
