'''British Columbia''' (short: BC) is the Westernmost province of [[Canada]], the home of between the Rocky Mountains and the window on the Pacific Ocean.
The capital city is [[Victoria (Canada)|Victoria]] situated on the Vancouver Island, while [[Vancouver]] is the largest city and the third metropole of [[Canada]], but is on the mainland, not the island.
In practice however, hitchhiking is very popular and very easy in most parts of BC. Other than where signposts expressly prohibit it, and around Vancouver, hitchhiking is perfectly fine, and you will not have any problem from the police.
[[User:Bella|Bella]] and a friend were hitch hiking a little bit of Vancouver island and from Vancouver to Alberta and didn't have a problem. Police roll on by without uttering a word as it is legal.
