Animal lovers are also at home in Canada, with whale watching and visits to Canada's amazing national parks being a must. BC features an incredibly diverse fauna: beavers, reindeer, moose, bison, wapitis, wolves, grizzly bears, cougars, orcas and the region-only Kermode bears, also known as ghost bears. Culture lovers mustn't miss traditional festivals such as the "Nanaimo Marine Festival", the "Bulkley Valley Exhibition" and the "Kamloopa Pow Wow".
