British Columbia is home to more than four million people. Almost 30 per cent of them emigrated from another country in their lifetimes. One quarter are visible minorities. And five per cent identify as Aboriginal. The most ethnically diverse province in Canada, BC welcomes nearly 40,000 new immigrants every year.
BC People is a unique storytelling project that showcases BC’s cultural, racial and ethnic diversity. Explore the website to meet the real people of BC, profiled in a book, series of podcasts and short multimedia film.
