Thoughts From a "Lost Canadian" About British Columbia

The past eleven days this "Lost Canadian" has been learning about the Provinces and Territories of Canada - there is one more Province and one more Territory, so today I'm writing about the last  Province - British Columbia, and I am very happy to share with you what I've learned about this amazing place!

• British Columbia is Canada's Westernmost Province as well as its third largest Province - by both land size and population.
• Two-thirds of British Columbia is forested.
• It is home to Della Falls in Strathcona Provincial Park, which is the highest waterfall in Canada at 440 meters—eight times the height of Niagara Falls.
• The temperate rainforests on Vancouver Island possess more plants and animals per square kilometer than the Amazon jungle.
• British Columbia has three Unesco World Heritage Sites, six National Parks, and over 400 provincial parks, recreation, and conservation areas. 
• It has more mountain ranges than any other Province or Territory in Canada - the Canadian Rockies, the Coast Mountains, Cassiar Mountains, and the Columbia Mountains.
• British Columbia has the most grizzly bears in Canada and it has the only grizzly bear sanctuary as well.
• You will find sea wolves in British Columbia. They swim between islands like fish and are genetically distinct from their inland cousins, or from wolves in any other part of the world. Sea Wolves are smaller in size and 90 percent of their diet is seafood.
• British Columbia is one of the world’s top three producing regions for cranberries and blueberries.
• One of the most unique and elusive bears in the world is found in British Columbia - the Kermode Bear (Ursus americanus kermodei), a rare black bear with white fur. 
• It has almost 16,000 miles of coastline on the Pacific Ocean.
• British Columbia has almost 40,000 islands along its coastline!
