British Columbia Ferry Services Inc., operating as BC Ferries (BCF), is a former provincial Crown corporation, now operating as an independently managed, publicly owned Canadian company. BC Ferries provides all major passenger and vehicle ferry services for coastal and island communities in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Set up in 1960 to provide a similar service to that provided by the Black Ball Line and the Canadian Pacific Railway, which were affected by job action at the time, BC Ferries has become the largest passenger ferry line in North America, operating a fleet of 41 vessels with a total passenger and crew capacity of over 27,000, serving 47 locations on the B.C. coast. The federal and provincial governments subsidize BC Ferries to provide agreed service levels on essential links between the BC mainland, coastal islands, and parts of the mainland without road access. The inland ferries operating on British Columbia's rivers and lakes are not run by BC Ferries. The responsibility for their provision rests with the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, which contracts operation to various private sector companies. #BCFerries #BritishColumbia

From July to October each year, salmon's migratory spawning will attract many whales to the straits around Victoria - killer whales, grey whales, minke whales and humpback whales. We booked a tour of Orca Spirit Adventures and a group of foreigners taking a whale watching boat out to sea. After boarding the ship, the professional guide who knows the sea area will tell us the difference between the shape and habits of the local marine wildlife and different whale species. Crossing the Juan de Fuca Strait, the whale watching boat stopped near a mini island with a lighthouse. There was no one on the island, and a group of seals called "" calmly lie on the shore and basking in the sun, and used it as their own territory. It seems that the seas in the vicinity of this island have not yet appeared their natural enemies - killer whales, otherwise they will not be so calm. Although there are no killer whales, there are still humpback whales that feed on small fish and small shrimps. The eyes follow the instructions of the crew. We saw a few floating in the water. Humpback whale! I witnessed the twenty-thousand-ton-ton giant behemoth playing on the water, and I always felt that there was a loss of realism. They are also very good at making "suspense", disappearing after a few times in a place, we can only be patient on the ship, wait a few minutes, and then look back in their completely different directions.

The pure natural environment and suitable temperature difference in the Cowichan Valley are also very suitable for the growth of the grapes, so there is an orchard, and then there is a winery. Wine is one of the greatest discoveries in human history, and the winery is also an experience project that I have always preferred. Walking on a picturesque country road, the car flew through the farm and the rolling hills to the Unsworth Vineyards. In addition to the wineries and vineyards, the Onsworth family has also converted an early 19th-century farmhouse into a restaurant serving local natural food. In the clear sunshine of early autumn, what is more comfortable than a few glasses of wine? The owner, Scott, asked us to try a few Pinot Noir red, Pinot Gris and sweet red wines in Answorth, and then took us to visit the winery. Unlike what I saw elsewhere, the vineyards here were tightly surrounded by a barbed wire. I only knew that it was to prevent the beasts from stealing grapes, and yesterday two bears "goed" in the middle of the night.

Amazing fish tour -!! Golden Creek Park November is also late autumn, this time I not only want to see the most beautiful scenery, of course, my favorite salmon Golden Creek Park, punch card ● Hiking, In fact, but this is also a very original park. There will be a lot of explanations around the hiking trails. The understanding is too comprehensive. There is a viewing platform nearby, you can also see most of the park's scenery, into a piece of redwood trees. I saw it in the middle, with a creek, I do not know if this is the origin of the name of the Golden Stream. Because it's beautiful, I will see a lot of thick trees when I walk a long way. Our four talents barely put it. It's said that it's been more than four hundred years, it's so cool! ● Salmon - it is the time when the salmon lay their eggs. There are also a lot of tourists. A large number of small fish are going up against the current, so many can not see the stones in the creek. The speed of the salmon is also fast and fast. I found the spouse spawning, and then I quickly left, but at this time, there will be some orange stripes on their scales. It will be different from the past. Many people took out their mobile phones and took photos. It has been watching for a long time. The interior of the park is still not small, all the beautiful scenery, or need to discover it slowly.
