British Columbia’s provincial parks system is the second largest parks system in Canada, the largest being Canada’s National Parks system. There are 14 designations of parks and protected areas in the province that reflect the different administration and creation of these areas in a modern context. The exception to British Columbia’s wet and cloudy winters is during the El Niño phase.

The Peace River Canyon through the Rocky Mountains was the route the earliest explorers and fur traders used. Correcting this imbalance would require a constitutional amendment, but that is unlikely to be supported by the Atlantic provinces. The six senators from BC constitute only one for every 775,000 people vs. one for every 75,000 in Prince Edward Island, which has four senators. The imbalance in representation in that House is apparent when considering population size. Hours after that plan was unveiled in Ottawa on December 3, 2015, Clark issued a statement that it did “not address what’s been wrong with the Senate since the beginning”. British Columbia is underrepresented in the Senate of Canada, leading Premier Christy Clark to refuse to cooperate with the federal government’s reforms for senate appointments to be made based on the recommendations of an advisory board that would use non-partisan criteria.

The inlets and valleys of the British Columbia coast shelter large, distinctive populations, such as the Haida, Kwakwakaʼwakw and Nuu-chah-nulth, sustained by the region’s abundant salmon and shellfish. Forest gardens on Canada’s northwest coast included crabapple, hazelnut, cranberry, wild plum, and wild cherry species. Cetacean species native to the coast include the orca, humpback whale, grey whale, harbour bc game porpoise, Dall’s porpoise, Pacific white-sided dolphin and minke whale. Murrelets are known from Frederick Island, a small island off the coast of Haida Gwaii. Another tier of parks in British Columbia are regional parks, which are maintained and run by the province’s regional districts.

Rail development expanded greatly in the decades after the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed, in 1885, and was the chief mode of long-distance surface transportation until the expansion and improvement of the provincial highways system began in the 1950s. A new extension to Coquitlam and Port Moody (the Evergreen Extension of the Millennium Line) was completed in December 2016. In 2009, the Canada Line SkyTrain was completed, linking Vancouver International Airport and the city of Richmond to downtown Vancouver bringing the total to three operating metro lines.
