More information about the video content bellow:
1. Canada is a vast country and in fact the second largest country globally after Russian Federation. While it has a large territory, it has less population of about 35, 939, 000 as of 2015. It has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Among these provinces British Columbia is third in terms of population ranking. The province has the mildest climate among the Canadian provinces and has the cities of Surrey, Vancouver and prince Rupert.

2. The first residents of B.C. were mainly the Tlingit, Sekani, Haida, Chilcotin and the Shuswap that lived largely along the coast to take advantage of the resources provided by the ocean. The First Nations are still represented in the province and are a valuable part of the region’s culture. Vancouver Island was first visited by the European Captain James Cook and mapped by George Vancouver. Many people came to the province during the Fraser Valley Gold Rush of 1857-58 and the Canadian government began plans for a railway which finally reached Vancouver in 1885.

3. While the province has white majority of European origin, 23% of its minority population are of Asian origin namely Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, Indians, Vietnamese and North American Indians. On top of that, there are a significant population of Latin Americans, and Arab.

4. Its capital is Victoria named after the British Queen Victoria. Its largest city Vancouver was named after George Vancouver, a British naval officer in Royal British Navy. About half of the population of 4.6 million lives in the Vancouver Metropolitan area which includes 19 cities and municipalities and is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the country. More than half of the residents don’t have English as a first language with Chinese being the most common group of languages after English.

5. The province has 1,030 parks and protected areas and is continually expanding both the number and the size of the regions. The current amount of protected space is equal to an area about four times the size of Prince Edward Island. In total approximately 12% of the provincial land is a park or protected area. Home to more than half of the Canada’s wildlife and fish species, British Columbia is the most biologically diverse province.

6. 1 in 4 North American grizzly bears are found in British Columbia. Also, with a population estimated between 120,000 and 160,000, BC is home to one quarter of all black bears in Canada.

7. The eco-activist group Greenpeace was formed in Vancouver in 1971.
