Images of West Coast B.C & Beyond to Celebrate Canada 150

Images of West Coast B.C & Beyond to Celebrate Canada 150

August 2, 2017 by Liz Gardner

Over the years West Coast beaches and other images of  our Beautiful British Columbia have featured in CAP published articles including Beautiful British Columbia and British Columbia Part 2. Here are a few more photos to celebrate Canada’s 150 years.  How incredibly fortunate we are to live in such a diverse, dynamic and versatile country with so much to be thankful for.

Our hopes are high.
Our faith in the people is great.
Our courage is strong.
And our dreams for this beautiful country will never die

I am Canadian
Free to speak without fear
free to worship in my own way,
free to stand for whatever I believe right
free to oppose what I believe wrong,
free to choose those who shall govern my country
~ John Diefenbaker

It is wonderful to feel the grandness of Canada in the raw,
not because she is Canada but because she’s something sublime,
that you were born into, some great rugged power that you are a part of.
~ Emily Carr
