It's : Sunsets are beautiful, no matter who you see them with!

Who's your sunset buddy? Or do you prefer to watch the close of the day with your own company?

If you're looking to chase sunsets, the British Columbia Magazine has put together a list of the best views to watch from: https://bit.ly/3PJep0A

Believe in yourself everyday, always know that there is no limits to what you can achieve. A lot of people here are always doubting themselves. Let me tell you one fact, "If you ever for one day doubt yourself then success will not attract you". Success is a thing of the mind and Once you think it, it starts to manifest immediately. Do not doubt yourself anymore. Believe you can achieve great things. Always be positive at all times. It's only then you see yourself achieve great exploits.

Texada Time Warp on Sunshine Coast BC Canada 🇨🇦 A kaleidoscope of history on one of the Salish Sea’s largest islands. "It was home to one of the largest illicit prohibition distilleries to ever operate in British Columbia. It was also the birthplace of Texada Gold, a high-grade cannabis with a faithful following as far south as Mexico who also called it Texada Time Warp due to the strange things it could do to a user’s sense of time."

Thanks for the shout out and fantastic article, British Columbia Magazine!
At Britannia Mine Museum, our team takes great pride in presenting interesting and interactive exhibits that give a new perspective of what mining means to our everyday lives.
Our brand new summer exhibit, "More than a Mine - Recreation in a Mining Town" is a nostalgic, historical throwback to how Britannia residents enjoyed their recreational life during the mining days, and how social gatherings helped strengthen and build the resiliency of a remote mining town.
The exhibit is now open and runs through Sept. 5, 2022.
Check out all the details - and even book your visit - on our site, www.BritanniaMineMuseum.ca :)

The combination of evening light and slick calm ocean often provides for beautiful silky waterscapes on the coast of British Columbia. Throw in a two metre high dorsal fin and an 8 tonne orca attached to it and you have something approaching the perfect evening.

Incredible!

Carved over 8 months by brothers Jaalen and Gwaai Edenshaw (with assistance from Tyler York, a relative of the brothers), a 45-foot memorial totem pole for the late Chief, Gaahlaay (Watson Price) was raised on September 30 at the old Haida village of Xaayna (Maude Island), where Gaahlaay was buried.

Accessible only by boat, Jaalen and Gwaai, members of Kayahl ‘Laanas clan, towed the pole across the water. They were met by more than 75 community members who helped pull the pole up onto the beach. The collective effort continued when over 200 people helped with Gina Guu’waa (raising of the memorial pole).

Water is life. Witset Canyon near Smithers BC, is where the Wedzin Kwah / Wetzin'kwa (also known as the Bulkley River) flows through with a dramatic rush… and lots of fish. The name Wetzin'kwa is a Witsuwit'en word referring to the Bulkley/Morice Rivers and means 'flowing blue-green or clear waters'. It’s a major tributary of the Skeena River, 257 kilometres (160 mi) long with a drainage basin covering 12,400 square kilometres (4,800 sq mi) ~ Wikipedia / Wetzin'kwa Community Forest Corporation
