Best Places to Visit in B.C. - Steveston

Steveston is a beautiful historic fishing village

which has long been a salmon

canning centre in British Columbia.

Steveston was the world's busiest
deep water fishing port
at the end of the 20th century, dotted
with 15 fish canneries, hotels, saloons,
and gambling dens.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery is now a

preserved canning facility that can 

be toured to gain a better understanding

of our Pacific Northwest fishing history.

The Britannia Heritage Shipyard is

another must see site in Steveston.

The boardwalks here reflect the voices of
Japanese, Chinese, Native Indian,
and European immigrants, as well
as sailors from around the world.
 

As you slowly wander through the sights 

and sounds of Steveston

you can hear
the cries of seagulls, eagles,
and hushed echoes of the past.
Or was I only imaging the past
cries of fishermen who loved the
sea and make their homes along
her shores? 

Sprintime in the Forest, British Columbia Style

Another spring has arrived in British Columbia.

I'm constantly enchanted wandering amongst 

Mother Nature's green explosion.

There are so many hues and shades that

it really defies the imagination.  Just

when you think you've seen all

of them she comes up

with another.

The calming and healing effects of

merely being close to nature cannot 

be overstated or taken for granted.

Go into the new spring forest 

and come back feeling renewed

and overjoyed at merely being.

Things to Do in British Columbia -- Enjoy the Weather

You just can't beat British Columbia

in the sunshine. 

Clear skies and temperatures in the mid 20's C

today.

Doing any activity outside is a pure joy,

from sight seeing the local mountains,

taking a nature walk, 

or sitting in the shade enjoying 

the back yard garden.

Whatever you choose to do in 

British Columbia, this

weather can bring you pure joy

and some pretty impressive vistas.
