NATIONAL PARKS
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. 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.

MacMillan Provincial Park (Cathedral Grove) Qualicum Beach, Port Alberni Cathedral Grove, located in MacMillan Provincial Park, is one of the most accessible stands of giant Douglas fir trees on Vancouver Island. Here visitors can stroll through a network of trails under the shadow of towering ancient Douglas-fir trees, majestic pillars untouched by the modern world - some more than 800 years old.
