  British Columbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British Columbia, often also referred to as B.C. or BC (French: Colombie-Britannique, C.-B.), is the westernmost of Canada's provinces and is famed for its natural beauty, as reflected in its Latin motto, Splendor sine occasu ("Splendour without diminishment").
Population in British Columbia continued to expand as the province's mining, forestry, agriculture, and fishing sectors were developed.
British Columbia's roads systems were notoriously poorly maintained and dangerous until a concentrated programme of improvement was initiated in the 1950s and 60s.

The campaigning group argues that the papers were obtained using public funds and that their publication is in the interests of public health.
Researchers from the provincial government in British Columbia, from Health Canada (Canada's federal health department), and from the physicians' group came to Britain in 1999 to review and collect thousands of documents at British American Tobacco (BAT).
Health Canada and the physicians' group have made public more than 15000 of these documents, but the British Columbian government has released none, saying they were subject to "solicitor-client privilege" and their release might hinder the government's suit against Canadian tobacco companies, which include a subsidiary of British American Tobacco.
