Summer 2009

Founded in 1959, British Columbia Magazine inspires its audience with profiles of British Columbia's beautiful places, intriguing journeys and remarkable people. The magazine combines well-researched articles with the highest-quality photography to present British Columbia's natural beauty, its diversity of parks, wilderness, and wildlife, its boundless opportunities for outdoor exploration, adventure, and travel, and its legacy of history and heritage places.

The Summer 2009 issue will be a special 50th Anniversary edition highlighting “50 Things to Do in B.C. Before You Die”. This will feature the best of B.C., from hiking, biking, wildlife watching, zip trekking, and sail trips to food fests, hot-spring soaking, wine tasting, nude sunbathing, and camping under the Northern Lights.
