Sometimes, we forget what's in our own backyard. Or we don't even know it's there.
To coincide with Canada's 150th birthday back in 2017, we compiled a list of 150 fun-beautiful-wonderful things that may be just a few minutes down the road, or as part of an epic road trip across B.C. And now that places around the province are slowly opening back up during the COVID-19 pandemic, we've revised the list to include – with a few exceptions – spots that have already reopened or that will reopen soon.
Enjoy. And please take care to follow COVID-19 guidelines everywhere you go to help keep everyone safe and to ensure B.C. continues to recover.
