British Columbia is filled with expansive scenery ranging from sandy beaches to snowy mountains and just like its diverse landscape, the province also offers a wide variety of shopping opportunities. While exploring BC, visitors can fill their bags with anything from the latest runway fashions to delicious locally grown cherries.
NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Consuming over half of the province's land mass, it comes as no surprise that northern British Columbia would cater towards an assortment of shopping interests. Skidegate in the Queen Charlotte Islands on the western side of the region offers beautiful Haida sculptures and jewellery. Prince Rupert's popular shopping areas include the Cow Bay Shopping District for waterfront boutiques and the Historic Downtown Shopping District for books and high-end fashion. The cities of Prince George and Fort St. John offer big-name stores, indoor shopping malls and charming local shops. A must-see centre for jewellery is the tiny settlement of Jade City. This small community north of Prince Rupert is known for its jade deposits and jewellery stores with necklaces, bracelets, rings and other items made from the green ornamental stone.
CARIBOO CHILCOTIN COAST
As visitors fit in rodeos, fishing, golf and other activities they should also save time for retail therapy on the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast in central BC. Although 100 Mile House is terrific for bird watching and canoeing on the nearby crystal clear lakes, the area's shopping directory also includes everything from clothing to sports equipment stores. North of 100 Mile House are the communities of Williams Lake and Quesnel, which feature specialty stores that offer original jewellery and Western wear. At the historic site of Barkerville, east of Quesnel, visitors can be transported back to the Old West as they shop. Gold-panning souvenirs, candy, watches and other historic items can be found inside the gold rush town's heritage buildings.
