This book focuses on British Columbia, including all its towns, cities, activities, culture and spirit into one book. It promises to be the definitive guide to the province, while also including Banff & Jasper, as many travellers in the Canadian Rockies visit the region as a whole and include Banff & Jasper in their itineraries. Canada is a decentralized country, and many of its laws and governance are defined at provincial level from drinking age and taxes to health and education. The differences between provinces are quite distinct, far greater than, say, Hampshire and Wiltshire. Bradt’s Canada: British Columbia bottles the province’s unique essence in a single publication. It features many of British Columbia’s esoteric attractions such as religious sects, gold rush history, First Nations sites, Whistler’s art culture and so on. The province has a plethora of different transport choices and even local people often don’t know about them.
