Small-town charm and unique cultural experiences are another reason visitors fall in love with this area. Almost every town has a farmers’ market, museum, or art gallery, and many eclectic shops and restaurants. The locals are incredibly friendly too – the person you ask for directions may just end up inviting you over to their house for dinner.
The region is also home to several First Nations. The totem poles and longhouses found throughout the region are also stunning, and some of the oldest in the province. In touring the Indigenous villages and visiting the cultural sites, visitors get an authentic glimpse into the history, culture, and present-day lives of the area’s original inhabitants.
