Vancouver/Whistler/Victoria, Canada
Vancouver/Whistler/Victoria, Canada's Topography
British Columbia is Canada's most westerly province, bordered to the south by the USA, to the east by Alberta, to the north by the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and to the west by the Pacific Ocean and the Alaskan Panhandle. It is mainly covered by virgin old-growth forests, and encompasses the towering Rocky Mountains, vast expanses of semi-arid sagebrush, lush pastures on Vancouver Island's east coast, farmland in the Fraser River delta, and fruitland in the Okanagan Valley.
Vancouver/Whistler/Victoria, Canada's weather year around
Warmed by Pacific Ocean currents and protected by a range of mountains, Vancouver enjoys mild temperatures year-round. From high 70°Fs in summer to a mild mid-40°Fs in winter, the climate is always hospitable. Wet winters replenish the rainforest, and it rarely snows except on local ski hills. Only 10% of the annual rainfall comes in summer.
