Locations have been influenced somewhat by my experience as 'one of those annoying Albertan tourists'. The province is too big, however, and therefore the only notable lake I could feasibly include was Kootenay Lake, as Okanagan Lake, etc. were all too small on the map. Just note that lakes are a huge part of the BC geography.

Speaking of Kootenay Lake, I had a legendary time camping on the shores of the lake with some friends the summer after our high school graduation. We hiked down the side of a waterfall with all of our camping gear and set up a tent on the rocky beach. Later that evening an old man pulled up on a kayak and taught us to catch and dress a fish. It was a random, yet treasured encounter, and we were left with fresh fish for dinner. BC is such a wonderful province, although it is plagued with us Albertans in the summertime.

Nice Quiz! Btw, all answers seems to be in English on map expect Haida Gwaii. Which language is it in and why is it different from others?

Thank you! That language is Haida, the original language of Haida Gwaii and of the surrounding areas. Many place names here on this quiz have alternative, Indigenous names, and Haida has far less speakers than most other (living) Native Canadian languages, but the Haida people and their culture are still dominant on the islands. The languages I choose for the map can by subjective at times, although in some cases it can be controversial due to the politicisation of language, (less so in these neck of the woods).

The Indigenous languages of Pacific British Columbia are very unique, here is how the Comox language may be referred to as in their own language: Éy7á7juuthem. The number 7 stands in for a letter in this language.

I had no idea there was a park (and a mountain) named after Garibaldi in BC. A bit surprising actually! Great quiz!

It is so! The mountain was named soon after Italian Unification, so I'm guessing the fact it was recent is what inspired the name, and I can't find any other connection. I didn't even realise Garibaldi was an Italian name until I'd learnt about Giuseppe, years after hearing the mountain's name. Thanks for playing, as always :)

Garibaldi is an extremely interesting figure that not is studied that much even here in Italy, where he's quite celebrated. He also fought in South America, and the Lincoln government even asked him to lead armies for the Union in the American civil war!

That is fascinating! I guess he was well respected by the British, so perhaps that's how a mountain, lake (and later a park) got named after him in British Canada. I'm currently taking a class in Western History and it's a shame we don't learn more about figures such as him.

It was awkward to draw on the map, although Garibaldi Provincial Park in famous for skiing and borders the resort town of Whistler.
