Vancouver Island, located in British Columbia, Canada, is the largest Pacific island east of New Zealand. While the city of Vancouver stands on the North American mainland, Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, is located on the island.
The island was first explored by Europeans when British and Spanish expeditions arrived in the late 18th century. It was originally named Quadra's and Vancouver's Island in commemoration of the friendly negotiations held by Spanish commander of the Nootka Sound settlement, Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, and by British naval captain George Vancouver in Nootka Sound in 1792, to find a solution to the Nootka Crisis. Quadra's name was eventually dropped and it has since been known solely as Vancouver Island. It is one of several North American locations named after George Vancouver, the British Royal Navy officer who explored the Pacific Northwest coast of North America between 1791 and 1794.
Along with most of the southern Gulf Islands, plus various minor islands offshore from its southern end, the southern part of Vancouver Island is the only part of British Columbia (and of Western Canada) that lies south of the 49th Parallel. The area has one of the warmest climates in Canada and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.
Vancouver (i/væŋˈkuːvər/ or /vænˈkuːvər/) officially the City of Vancouver, is a coastal seaport city on the mainland of British Columbia, Canada.
The 2011 census recorded 603,502 people in the city, making it the eighth largest Canadian municipality. The Greater Vancouver area of around 2.4 million inhabitants is the third most populous metropolitan area in the country, the second largest city on the United States–Canada border, and the most populous in Western Canada. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada; 52% of its residents have a first language other than English. Vancouver is classed as a Beta global city. The City of Vancouver encompasses a land area of about 114 square kilometres, giving it a population density of about 5,249 people per square kilometre (13,590 per square mile). Vancouver is the most densely populated Canadian municipality, and the fourth most densely populated city with over 250,000 residents in North America, behind New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City.
I spent the summer exploring Vancouver Island. Living in Victoria I always took it for granted. Exploring the island re-insured me why Vancouver Island, British Columbia is such a beautiful place to live.

A twelve minute overview of everything you can do on Vancouver Island -- well almost.
This video is about a journey made in the summer of 2014 up the rugged West Coast of Vancouver Island. Highlights are a loggers competition in Ucluelet, a black bear sighting, a cruise up the Marble River and a close encounter with the Roaring Hole Rapids in the Broughton Islands on the mainland

In the Pacific Northwest, a small island may hold the clue to unraveling the mystery of the legendary Sasquatch. Vancouver Island is a densely forested land mass located about 70 miles northwest of Seattle, Washington. The island is separated from Canada's mainland by water and is a popular destination for hikers, hunters and possibly something frightening and mysterious. Natives told tales to their children of an ape-like beast to be feared that would steal them should they venture into the forest. More than just stories of a bogeyman, recent witnesses tell equally terrifying stories of a monster that attacks as they sleep and is seen devouring fish on the coastline. Now our expedition team follows up these reports, launches their own hunt and finds that recent scientific discoveries of s...

Travel video about destination Vancouver in Canada. Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada and one of the most beautiful on the American continent, a dynamic metropolis set in a beautiful location with a temperate climate throughout the year. Close to the harbor area, the city's skyscrapers have proliferated in recent years. The capital of the southwestern province of British Columbia has developed into an economic centre of renown. The city's oldest buildings were built less than 100 years ago because the former wooden houses of old Vancouver were destroyed by fire. Several buildings reflect the origin of their inhabitants and are similar to those in the United States and Europe. Inspired by the Colosseum in Rome, an elegant structure of pink stone and glass, Canada Place, is lo...

https://www.expedia.com/Vancouver.d178315.Destination-Travel-Guides Vancouver’s breezes carry the scents of nature and aromas of all the urban delights you’d expect from a city regularly voted, “the Worlds most livable”. The city takes its name from the British navigator who landed here in 1792. The original settlement was called “Gastown”, in honor of Gassy Jack, who built the city’s first tavern. Gassy Jack and his makeshift pub may be long gone, but in the historic neighborhood of Gastown, his spirit lingers on. Vancouver’s early history continues at Waterfront Station, the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The railway’s construction brought Chinese workers by the thousands, whose descendants have enriched Vancouver ever since. Experience this interweaving of cultu...
We spent a few days on the West Coast of Vancouver Island spitting our time between Ucuelet and Tofino. Tofino is probably the better known of the two destinations, certainly it seems busier and more commercial to us. Still within minutes of the city the spectacular coast and beaches are waiting for lazy relaxed times. We are travelers, we explore, we find and we share.

This video is the first of my Canadian series on safe Locations against the Pole-Shift of Earth's geographic poles. I start with a quick overview of the make-up of Planet X, an explanation of the orbit of Planet X and how the dwarf star fits into our solar system. The video continues with an exposé of British Columbia's geology and it's land-form explaining how they relate to continental B.C's safe locations, then I finish with the same coverage of Vancouver Island.

Von Vancouver starten wir unsere Rundreise mit dem Mietwagen nach Vancouver Island. Von dort geht es mit der Fähre nach Norden und über die Rocky Mountains in Alberta zurück nach Vancouver. Die Reise endet mit einem Abstecher nach Seattle in den USA.
Come along as a hiking partner with Scott, Mike and Gary as they slog their way through 50 miles of mud and beach along the West Coast Trail of Vancouver Island.
This is the most extreme, heavy, off-road trucking in the world.... Trucks that are 16 feet wide, can carry loads of huge old growth timber that weigh 130 tons, gross weight of truck and load can be as much as 180 tons. This is done on roads that are very steep "as much as 20% down grades", barely as wide as the truck with as many as twelve switchbacks that cling to the sides of the mountain for thousands of feet, with drop offs of hundreds and sometimes thousands of feet at nearly every turn. Narrow bridges, soft spots, muddy slippery conditions, extreme fog, and in most cases two trucks cannot pass each other.. they must use call points on the radio to inform all the other divers of locations... Fog, rain, ice, etc all add to the conditions that make this the most demanding, and unforgi...
http://www.freejazzvancouver.com Nanaimo BC Canada is a laid back city where things move at its own unique pace. The city has museums (city museum & a military museum). It also has a well respected university (Vancouver Island University). It's a nice city that you should visit.

On July 6, 2013 we left Anacortes, Washington to Vancouver Island taking the Ferry to Sidney, including Serena. It was a very interesting experience seeing how these ferries are packed with vehicles and people. The ferry ride is very smooth because of such a large boat and the route being pretty calm. The passenger areas are spacious and one can avoid the cold and still have a beautiful view. Ferries have no front and no back; both ends look identical and it can move in either direction and surprisingly fast. I started the navigation to the Fort Victoria RV park where we stayed while about a half mile from the shore when they announced to get in the vehicles; the TomTom informed me that part of the route would need a ferry and showed us moving along the water towards land. I was surprised ...
