| Gulf Islands National Park Reserve The Southern Gulf Islands, an idyllic sprinkling of wild and rural, inhabited and uninhabited islands lie in British Columbia's Strait of Georgia between the cities of Vancouver and Victoria. Blessed with a Mediterranean-style climate and a bucolic landscape of woodlands and meadows, coastal bluffs and white shell beaches, the archipelago is home to a wealth of wildlife, including eagles, falcons, deer, and shorebirds; orcas, porpoises, sea lions, seals and otters thrive offshore. A small population of organic farmers, artists, and retirees work hard to preserve the islands' unique environment and way of life, despite their proximity to BC's two largest cities. The Gulf Islands National Park Reserve of Canada, established on May 9, 2003, protects 35 square kilometers (about 13.5 square miles) of land spread over 15 islands and approximately 60 islets and reefs south of Active Pass, as well as 26 square km (10 square miles) of adjacent waters. Parts of the park are only accessible to boaters, but park areas on Mayne, Saturna, and the Pender Islands can be a reached by car ferry and road. A seasonal foot ferry from Sidney BC takes visitors to the Sidney Spit section of the park. |

| Pacific Rim National Park Reserve Backed by the Insular Mountains Range of Vancouver Island and facing the open Pacific Ocean, Pacific Rim presents the rich natural and cultural heritage of Canada's west coast. Its cool and wet maritime climate produces an abundance of life in the water and on land. Lush coastal temperate rainforest gives way to bountiful and diverse intertidal and subtidal areas. |
