We're known best for tourism and the biggest attraction for some is Butchart Gardens . It's very very popular... people come from all over the world to see it. They put on a fantastic fireworks show on Saturday nights through the summer months. We anchor out in the bay overnight and watch... it's one of the best destinations around although it's becoming kinda' busy.<br />Other things include;<br />One of largest Orca whale population.<br />Some of the nicest scenery... period. By that I mean unmolested forest and an unending coastline among the gulf islands.

We are known as a place where we used to log, and we used to fish for salmon, and we used to fish for rock fish. But the do gooders have figured out a way to put a stop to all of that. Now they scream that there isnt enough money for schools.<br /><br />Duh, where did you think that money came from in the first place???

Nos4r2 - "Not a lot, really...". That must be an English understatement. Let me help you out:<br /><br />The Queen, Yorkshire pudding, roastbeef, steak & kidney pie, warm beer, cold meat, black pudding, tripe, rain, pale skin, sunburn, pinstripes & bowlerhats in the City, Beefeaters, gin, pubs, boarding schools, page 3 girls, driving on the left, London taxicabs, Rolls & Bentley & Jaguar, Princess yachts, manors in the countryside, the cliffs of Dover, sprawling cities with rows of identical houses, Monthy Pyton, queing, politeness, understatement, wry humour, tea, English breakfasts, bangers & mash, the Empire, cricket, rugby, football, hooligans, great music, lady Diana, Hugh Grant, Tony Blair.....<br /><br />Every country has something good about it, and England more than most.
