West coast cities like Vancouver and Victoria feature mild winters and warm breezy summers, making outdoor activities accessible year round - ski, cycle, golf, or swim 12 months of the year. Vancouver, host of the 2010 Winter Olympics, showcases some of the provinces best dining and shopping. Visit the capital city of Victoria, affectionately known as the city of gardens, and enjoy a stroll along the inner harbour speckled with boutique shopping and exquisite restaurants. The Interior and Okanagan areas of the province boast rich vineyards, family-oriented ski hills and rugged hiking trails. The lakes of Kelowna and neighbouring towns buzz with summer activity, and the dry, hot climate of Oysoyoos yields some of the country's best fresh produce. The northern experience is defined by pristine wilderness, heavily forested valleys and turquoise-coloured glacier lakes, and the diverse communities of the north feature a wealth of cultural and historical highlights. Residents of British Columbia proudly believe in 'work-play balance'. Few areas in the world can match BC's scope of outdoor recreational opportunities. From skiing and snowboarding in the winter to ocean kayaking and world-class golf in the warmer months, there's rarely an excuse to stay inside. Even if you're not a sports enthusiast, there are hundreds of places to simply kick back, breathe in the fresh air and relish the awe-inspiring views. This is a place where the pursuit of a balanced lifestyle is taken seriously. After a rewarding day at work, British Columbians unwind by enjoying a long stroll in one of the Province's many parks and seawalls, cycling through BC's network of challenging bike trails, or joining friends for a relaxing game of golf. British Columbia has something for everyone wanting to live the "west coast style". Psychiatry in BC offers a variety of opportunities in both urban and rural areas throughout the many regions of this incredible province.
