Visiting British Columbia

Located on Canada's West Coast, British Columbia is a cornucopia of cultures, regions and things to do. Bound on one side by the Canadian Rocky Mountains and on the other by the Pacific Ocean, BC is a natural wonderland for all to enjoy. Whether the cosmopolitan centre of Vancouver, on the Mainland, is what you seek, or the small town feel of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island, is more your pace, you are sure to find a Sprott-Shaw campus to suit your taste.

Famous for world-class ski resorts, including Whistler - Blackcomb, BC offers an exciting and rugged outdoor lifestyle, which includes kayaking, snowboarding, hiking, biking, beach volleyball and even surfing. For those less inclined to the outdoors, British Columbia offers several metropolitan areas where shopping and nightlife reign. Vancouver and Victoria offer vibrant downtown cores, located in beautiful regions, surrounded by beaches, forestry and mountains.

British Columbia's population is made up of cultures from around the globe, so it is easy to immerse yourself in a variety of cultures, taking in ethnic cuisines, art and entertainment.

To truly take in the beauty of British Columbia, there is no better way than to come and see for yourself.
