Explained in plain English

Where is British Columbia?

British Columbia is Canada's westernmost province, known for its vast forests, mountains, and Pacific coastline. Its geography, with large areas of wilderness, makes it particularly vulnerable to wildfires, especially during dry periods. The province is home to major cities like Vancouver, but also many smaller communities affected by these evacuations.
