Beautiful British Columbia

Beautiful British Columbia

November 20, 2013 by Liz Gardner

Why I love where I live. Simply, British Columbia has it all! From the thriving metropolis of Vancouver to small clean country towns, with its amazing lakes, rivers and mountains and unparalleled natural beauty and abundant wildlife.  It is a magical, multi-faceted province which I am happy and proud to call “home”.  Here are some more reasons why I love living in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

Our beautiful province is exciting and truly diverse in every sense of the word – a place to protect and keep for future generations … and perhaps the biggest reason I love British Columbia – one of the loves of my life lives here
