British Columbia is a province in Western Canada. It is bordered by the United States to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the west. British Columbia’s capital is Victoria, and its most populous city is Vancouver. With an estimated population of 4.8 million people in 2017, British Columbia is Canada’s third-most populous province.
Many British Columbians are Aboriginal, with a population of over half a million people identifying as such in 2016, comprising approximately 27% of the total provincial population. The province has been home to several Indigenous peoples for thousands of years including the Northern Kwakiutl and Lheidli T’enneh First Nations among others, who have occupied this region for millennia.
Much of Canada’s cannabis that is sold to Canadian adults is grown by experienced growers in the province of British Columbia. `
