I'm not confident about Manufacturing and Service as separate sections because they seem too limited. I also not confident about lumping Ecosystems into Physical Geography, because Ecosystems will be (by far) the largest section and this can probably be linked with climate a lot better in a separate Bioclimatic Geography section. -- maclean25 04:39, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Added a minor edit: The BC Social Credit Party dominated politics in the province for much of "the latter part of" the twentieth century. They were not a player at all until 1952. -- Fishhead64 09:14, 07 Dec 05
The photo illustrates well the narrowness of lakes in B.C.. Uh, Atlin Lake isn't very "narrow" at all; it's one of the widest natural lakes in the province - much wider than Harrison or Chilko, for example 8km wide vs. 5.5km wide ea.. I think the better term might be "elongated", maybe, or something less limiting in terms of actual width; "fjord-like" is what I've used in certain lake descriptions elsewhere (Chilko, Seton, a few others), and what they nearly all are, really, is freshwater fjords (Atlin, Babine, Morice, Takla, Quesnel, Chilko/Taseko/Tatlayoko, Okanagan, Kootenay, Shuswap, and all the rest Skookum1 09:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
The Stuart is a tributary of the Nechako, not the Fraser; and if it's included then so should be the Bulkley. See Fraser River for hierarchy-tree of tribs from Yellowhead Pass downstream; and tribs of tribs. The McGregor River should be in here, and the Raush and Milk and Willow and Cottonwood, even if no one in the lower part of the province has heard of them. Skookum1 04:36, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
The 2001 census definitley pegged vancouver with a population of over 2 million, where were the statistics in the table obtained from?
Hi everyone, I noticed that while the Ecoregions of BC are sourced they don't actually meet the standard biogeoclimatic zones of BC as used by the government of BC or most researchers and industry people in the province. The BEC system is pretty unique to BC and is very well laid out. Would anyone be upset if I re-did this section and possibly moved it to its own page? Stealth cat 15:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Don't quite know where to start, but here's the intro as it is at the moment:
That opening line should be "into defined regions for a wide variety of political purposes", as there's no way that forests policy and environment policy and health policy and so on are not "political purposes". The primary geographic zones of the province are reflected in the Ministry of Environment Regions, governance of forests is divided similarly, but with a different map/regions reflecting the province's primary economic structure/nodes, with tourism regions that again mirror certain economic and geographic pattersn; all are very real and are at least as important in political life and daily administration fo the province as regional and electoral districts; in fact, I daresay far moreso, especially as concerns British Columbia Inistry of Forests Regions. BC does not have "three" kinds of political subdivisions, but a multi-layered cake of them. I'll try and come up with a brief precis of the different region systems and provice cites/links to them; I think there's too much emphasis on regional districts in Wikipedia as it is, they're only bit players in the BC poiltical/geographic reality.

On the climate section , it's stated that the valleys of the Southern Interior get a lot of cloud and fog and that total hours of sunshine are less than the Coast; this may be true of the Kamloops and Okanagan and other areas, but as I recall Lillooet and Lytton get considerably more sunshine...on satellite weather maps, you'll often notice a slip of clear sky in Interior cloud cover, stretching north from Boston Bar, which is due to the extreme rainshadow effect of the Lillooet Ranges; typically Lillooet will have clear weather when Hat Creek and Cache Creek do not, for example.....hours of sunshine and number of sunny days I was hoping to find in the climate table here, for comparison to the Okanagan and Kamloops pages, but so far this is just temp/precipitation. Anyone care to expand the climate section accordingly? I've made a similar note/request on the Lillooet page. Skookum1 ( talk) 04:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
In editing just now I removed a pic of palm trees in Vancouver, which is irrelevant and misleading; the same person who placed that here has done the same repeatedly on Vancouver articles. It should be removed if it appears again; only pics actually representative of BC should not be here, not just exotics planted along English Bay. Skookum1 ( talk) 09:51, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
There's no Climate of BC, or Climate of Canada, article/talkpage to post this to; a query had come up on Talk:Lillooet, British Columbia about climate extremes and variation there, I'd written Environment Canada about the changing locations of the weather stations there and how their site's data only rounds off the latlong to the nearest minute, and where to find annual record data; their reply is at the bottom of this section.
