  2. “Down deep we all hug something. The great forest hugs its silence. The sea and the air hug the spilled cries of sea-birds. The forest hugs only silence; its birds and even its beasts are mute.

    On the Ferry from Vancouver to Victoria, British Columbia

    I am travelling via BC Ferries from Vancouver (Tsawwassen) to Victoria (Swartz Bay) on a cool day with overhead clouds and a stiff breeze. Being a passenger on BC Ferries is an adventure! From the moment I step on board, I am embarking on a journey filled with breathtaking views, fresh sea air, and the excitement of exploration. The diverse routes offered by BC Ferries provide travelers with a unique and unforgettable experience, connecting coastal communities and offering a glimpse of the stunning natural landscapes that British Columbia has to offer.

    B.C. Ferries offers ferry services that connect the mainland of British Columbia to various coastal destinations, including Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and the Sunshine Coast. Whether it’s a quick trip across the strait or a longer voyage to more remote destinations, each journey with BC Ferries holds the promise of adventure and discovery.

    Advocates for the Coastal Environment and Communities

    BC Ferries is not just a transportation provider; it is also an advocate for the coastal environment and the communities it serves. With 25 routes throughout the west coast of BC, BC Ferries plays a crucial role in supporting and connecting coastal communities. These routes provide essential transportation links for both passengers and vehicles, contributing to the connectivity and accessibility of the region.

    In 1960, operations began with just two ferries servicing a single route. Since then, BC Ferries has expanded significantly, with 37 ferries now transporting over 22 million passengers and 8 million vehicles annually. This growth reflects the increasing demand for reliable marine transportation and the vital role BC Ferries plays in facilitating travel and connectivity along the coastal region.

    Exploring Beacon Hill Park: A Tribute to Emily Carr

    My visit to Victoria is to connect with the spirit of Emily Carr. Beacon Hill Park is the perfect setting to connect with the natural landscapes that inspired her art,

    Beacon Hill Park, with its lush greenery, vibrant flora, and tranquil ponds, serves as a fitting setting to connect with the spirit of Emily Carr. This iconic park not only provides a delightful respite but also echoes the very essence of the natural landscapes that Emily Carr so passionately depicted in her artwork. From majestic totem poles to the captivating presence of local wildlife, Beacon Hill Park offers a glimpse into the essence of British Columbia’s natural wonders.

    “I think that one’s art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows.”
