British
Columbia is the westernmost of Canada's provinces
and is famed for its natural beauty, as reflected

without Diminishment"). In 1871, it became
the sixth province of Canada.
The capital of British Columbia is Victoria, the
15th largest metropolitan region in Canada. The
largest city is Vancouver, the third-largest metropolitan
area in Canada and the second-largest in the Pacific
Northwest.
