 British Columbia     Gov. of British Columbia website  
British Columbia is Canada's most westerly province. It is a mountainous area whose population is mainly clustered in the southwestern corner. It is a land of diversity and contrast within small areas. Coastal landscapes, characterized by high, snow-covered mountains rising above narrow FJORDS and inlets, contrast with the broad forested upland of the central interior and the plains of the northeast. People live around the shores of sheltered Georgia Strait in the southwest and are dispersed in linear patterns along the north-south valleys in the southern half of the province.
With an area of 947 800 km2, BC is Canada's third-largest province, after Québec and Ontario. The provincial population of 3 282 065 in 1991 is third in numbers in Canada, after Ontario and Québec. The intense "Britishness" of earlier times is referred to in the province's name, which originated with Queen Victoria and was officially proclaimed in 1858. The province is closely tied to the American Pacific Northwest, with which it shares locational continuity.
