What could be better than warm weather? On the coast of British Columbia the climate is heavy rainfall and mild temperature. The Montane Cordillera is a mountainous area with a dry climate. Hard to believe, but British Columbia has the warmest weather in Canada!!! PERFECT for outdoor activities. Also, in the west, high winds occur very often. Victoria, the capital of British Columbia, has the mildest climate in Canada. So what would you rather have, nice, warm weather in British Columbia, or weather everywhere else?

**//Geography://** There’s so much to learn about British Columbia’s geography. British Columbia’s three major mountain ranges are the Coast Mountains, Columbia Mountains, and the Rocky Mountains. British Columbia contains Canada’s only desert. Some of British Columbia’s rainforests are very dense, while some of our farmlands are lush. Scares of barren icy mountain peaks are spread out in British Columbia. How are you supposed to believe that 6,976 square miles of British Columbia are covered by water? Well, it’s true. Farmlands, oceans, deserts, and mountains, what else could you want?

You can make “big bucks” with these cool jobs! You can have industry jobs like banking, trade, health, education, advertising, real estate and many more! If you like farming you can grow grain and wheat to sell for money. You can fish for “biggies” for the trade industry. Mining in coal mines or any type of mine could make you a millionaire!!! Now tree cutting is very important, so when an island is covered with giant Douglas Firs, Spruce, and Red Cedars, you know you have to go! No matter what job you have, you can always have fun!
