The Nisga’a or Nass Valley is an absolutely beautiful natural territory with abundant wildlife and incredible natural scenery. Nisga’a, People of the Nass River, have lived on these lands since before recorded time, and have a rich legacy of arts, crafts, dance, and oral history. The Nisga’a Lands make up 2,000 sq. km where the Nass River flows through a land of sacred mountains and dense forests on Canada’s Pacific Coast.

The Nisga’a Valley is made up of four first nations communities:

Gitlaxtaa’miks (New Aiyansh)

Gitlakdamix, or New Aiyansh is the largest of the four communities, the capital of the Nisga’a Nation, and the administrative center of the Nisga’a Lisims Government. Situated on the edge of the Memorial Lava Bed Park, it overlooks the lava beds, Canada’s youngest lava flow. The lava plain is 10km long and 3km wide, and several self-guided trails allow visitors to explore this unique and beautiful landscape. There is a recreation centre, the historic Gitlakdamix community hall and Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl Nisga’a Institute, a post-secondary institution affiliated with UNBC, Northwest Community College and Royal Roads University.

Gitwinksihlkw (Canyon)

Gitwinksihlkw, or Canyon is located on the north bank of the Nass River and offers cultural rich history, natural beauty, and access to Canada's newest lava bed. Canada's last volcanic eruption occurred in Nisga'a territory approximately 250 years ago. The lava destroyed everything in its path, sparked fires in the surrounding forests, and covered two Nisga'a villages. Today the vast lava beds still dominate the valley. Situated at the edge of the Nass River and Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Park, Gitwinksihlkw enjoys one of British Columbia's most dramatic natural settings. Visitors come to enjoy guided tours of the lava beds, sport fishing, backcountry excursions, a stroll across the Nass River on a 400-foot long extension bridge, or to admire the majestic totem poles that tell of Nisga'a history and culture.

Laxgalts’ap (Greenville)

Laxgalts'ap means "village on village," an acknowledgement that the current village is built on a series of Nisga'a communities that have occupied this site for millennia. Located in the Nass River estuary, it is the spawning grounds of five species of wild Pacific salmon and oolichan, a finger-sized member of the smelt family. Laxgalts'ap is a part of the temperate coastal rainforest in the scenic Nass Valley. The region’s wildlife includes bald eagles, moose, grizzly and black bears, and even the elusive Kermode, also known as spirit bear. The Nisga’a museum is located here, and is a must see.

Gingolx (Kincolith)

The seaside village of Gingolx offers rich cultural history, natural beauty, and some of North America's finest seafood. Gingolx is famous for its harvest of salmon, crab, halibut, snapper, and shellfish, and a generous hospitality that welcomes visitors from around the world. Gingolx has a public boat launch that leads to some of the best kayaking, boating, and sport fishing in North America. Each summer, thousands of visitors arrive for Crabfest, an annual celebration of music, seafood, and Nisga'a hospitality.

Peachland is a district municipality of over 5000 residentsin the Okanagan Valley. It is located on the west side of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada. It was founded in 1899 by John Moore Robinson,although the region had long been home to the Okanagan people. Peachland is approximately half an hour's drive south of the city of Kelownaand about a twenty-minute drive north of Summerland. The Okanagan Valley is very narrow in this area, and there are few terraces which mark former lake levels and the former lake bottom. As a result, the city is largely located on a steep sidehill. Like many areas in the Okanagan, Peachland is a rapidly growing community with new residents coming from all across Canada. Located across from Peachland is Rattlesnake Island, home of the legendary Ogopogo. Peachland is approximately 370 km from Vancouver, British Columbia on the BC South Coast.

Vancouver is a coastal seaport city in Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. As the most populous city in the province, the 2016 census recorded 631,486 people in the city, up from 603,502 in 2011. The Greater Vancouver area had a population of 2,463,431 in 2016, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Vancouver has the highest population density in Canada with over 5,400 people per square kilometre, which makes it the fourth-most densely populated city with over 250,000 residents in North America behind New York City, San Francisco, and Mexico City according to the 2011 census. Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada according to that census; 52% of its residents have a first language other than English. Vancouver is classed as a Beta global city.

Vancouver is consistently named as one of the top five worldwide cities for liveability and quality of life, and the Economist Intelligence Unit acknowledged it as the first city ranked among the top-ten of the world's most well-living cities for five consecutive years. Vancouver has hosted many international conferences and events, including the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, UN Habitat I, Expo 86, the World Police and Fire Games in 1989 and 2009; and the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics which were held in Vancouver and Whistler, a resort community 125 km (78 mi) north of the city. In 2014, following thirty years in California, the TED conference made Vancouver its indefinite home. Several matches of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup were played in Vancouver, including the final at BC Place.

The original settlement, named Gastown, grew up on clearcuts on the west edge of the Hastings Mill logging sawmill's property, where a makeshift tavern had been set up on a plank between two stumps and the proprietor, Gassy Jack, persuaded the curious millworkers to build him a tavern, on 1 July 1867. From that first enterprise, other stores and some hotels quickly appeared along the waterfront to the west. Gastown became formally laid out as a registered townsite dubbed Granville, B.I. ("B.I" standing for "Burrard Inlet"). As part of the land and political deal whereby the area of the townsite was made the railhead of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), it was renamed "Vancouver" and incorporated shortly thereafter as a city, in 1886. By 1887, the Canadian Pacific transcontinental railway was extended westward to the city to take advantage of its large natural seaport to the Pacific Ocean, which soon became a vital link in a trade route between the Orient / East Asia, Eastern Canada, and Europe. As of 2014, Port Metro Vancouver is the third-largest port by tonnage in the Americas (recently displacing New York City), 27th in the world, the busiest and largest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While forestry remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry.^[20] Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centres in North America,earning it the nickname, "Hollywood North".

Vancouver Island is in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Canada. It is part of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The island is 460 kilometres (290 mi) in length, 100 kilometres (62 mi) in width at its widest point, and 32,134 km² (12,407 sq mi) in area. It is the largest island on the West Coast of North America.

The southern part of Vancouver Island is the only part of British Columbia or Western Canada to lie south of the 49th Parallel, along with most of the southern Gulf Islands and minor offshore islands. This area has one of the warmest climates in Canada, and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.

Vancouver Island had a population in 2016 of 775,347. Nearly half of that figure (367,770) live in the metropolitan area of Greater Victoria. Other notable cities and towns on Vancouver Island include Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Parksville, Courtenay, and Campbell River. Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, is located on the island, but the larger city of Vancouver is not – it is on the North American mainland, across the Strait of Georgia from Nanaimo.

Vancouver Island has been the homeland to many indigenous peoples for thousands of years.The island was explored by British and Spanish expeditions in the late 18th century. It was named Quadra's and Vancouver's Island in commemoration of the friendly negotiations held in 1792 by Spanish commander of the Nootka Sound settlement, Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, and by British naval captain George Vancouver, during the Nootka Crisis. Quadra's name was eventually dropped from the name. It is one of several North American locations named after George Vancouver, who explored the Pacific Northwest coast between 1791 and 1794.

Vancouver Island is the world's 43rd largest island, Canada's 11th largest island, and Canada's second most populous island after the Island of Montreal. It is the largest Pacific islandanywhere east of New Zealand.

Vernon is a beautiful sprawling city in the Okanagan Valley that is a year-round tourist destination for Canadians and world travellers alike. The city is surrounded by lakes and mountains, so beach days in the summer and ski days in the winter are a way of life. The area is known for fruit growing, wineries, hot summers, and shorter winters compared to other regions in Canada. With a population of 44,000 residents, it is smaller that its neighbouring city of Kelowna, which is 40 minutes drive away, so the city remains a popular choice for real estate. Vernon is home to Okanagan College, the region’s largest higher education institution.
