West Vancouver: Eagle Harbour: Highway 99 at Highway 1 ramp to Horseshoe Bay, looking west
West Vancouver lies along the Burrard Inlet coast, where forested slopes of the Coast Mountains descend toward a deeply indented shoreline. The Trans-Canada Highway runs across this terrain toward Horseshoe Bay, the community’s ferry terminal for routes to Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island. West Vancouver is largely residential, yet its waterfront at Ambleside faces English Bay and the city of Vancouver across the inlet. Park Royal, opened in 1950, was among Canada’s early postwar shopping centres and remains a key commercial district. Cedar- and fir-covered hills, rocky cuttings and the broad marine corridor give this part of Metro Vancouver a distinctly Pacific character.

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
