Northwest BC’s Colours Have a Beauty All Their Own

Take a drive to one of the many Northwest BC Parks this weekend to see the magnificent colours of spring.  From wildflowers to the Western Sandpiper, the landscape is awash with greens, yellows, pinks, blues and oranges.  Now is the best time to see these beautiful colours as the forests are starting to fill in.
