Another huge industry in British Columbia is the Service Industry. This is a stunningly beautiful province and visitors come here from all over the world, all year round to take in the forests, lakes, rivers, ocean, entertainment, and culture. Since the weather is milder here than in other parts of Canada, the growing season is longer and allows farming to be a productive industry that hires thousands of workers each year. BC’s huge coastline and many lakes in the interior make fishing an industry that many are employed in, albeit often seasonally.
Vancouver is a port city. You will often see huge ships loaded with cargo coming and going from its shores, providing many jobs and a gateway for all of Canada to trade internationally. There is also an impressive ferry system, linking the beautiful islands off the coast.
