The island was first explored by Europeans when British and Spanish expeditions arrived in the late 18th century. It was originally named Quadra's and Vancouver's Island in commemoration of the friendly negotiations held by Spanish commander of the Nootka Sound settlement, Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, and by British naval captain George Vancouver in Nootka Sound in 1792, to find a solution to the Nootka Crisis. Quadra's name was eventually dropped and it has since been known solely as Vancouver Island. It is one of several North American locations named after George Vancouver, the British Royal Navy officer who explored the Pacific Northwest coast of North America between 1791 and 1794.
Along with most of the southern Gulf Islands, plus various minor islands offshore from its southern end, the southern part of Vancouver Island is the only part of British Columbia (and of Western Canada) that lies south of the 49th Parallel. The area has one of the warmest climates in Canada and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.
Like other ridings established in that year, a by-election was called to fill the seat until the general election of 1872. The riding was composed of all those parts of the former Crown Colony of Vancouver Island and adjoining islands and islets, excluding the area around the capital, Victoria District. The 1871 names were all temporary pending ratification of the riding system by the provincial legislature. In 1872, this riding was abolished, and replaced by Vancouver riding.
All Vancouver Island ridings other than those immediately in and around Victoria are descended from the original Vancouver Island riding, which existed only as a temporary measure from the province's joining confederation in 1871 until elections with legally-mandated electoral districts was held the following year. At that time the Vancouver Island riding was renamed simply Vancouver and its counterpart Victoria District was renamed Victoria.
Vancouver (i/væŋˈkuːvər/ or /vænˈkuːvər/) officially the City of Vancouver, is a coastal seaport city on the mainland of British Columbia, Canada.
The 2011 census recorded 603,502 people in the city, making it the eighth largest Canadian municipality. The Greater Vancouver area of around 2.4 million inhabitants is the third most populous metropolitan area in the country, the second largest city on the United States–Canada border, and the most populous in Western Canada.
Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada; 52% of its residents have a first language other than English. Vancouver is classed as a Beta global city. The City of Vancouver encompasses a land area of about 114 square kilometres, giving it a population density of about 5,249 people per square kilometre (13,590 per square mile). Vancouver is the most densely populated Canadian municipality, and the fourth most densely populated city with over 250,000 residents in North America, behind New York City, San Francisco,
and Mexico City.
Vancouver was a steam-run bark built and operated by the Hudson's Bay Company to serve on the route between London, England and Fort Victoria on Vancouver Island in what is now the province of British Columbia, Canada. Other vessels committed to the route were Columbia and Cowlitz, but Vancouver was the first of the three to enter Victoria harbour, and the first vessel to sail directly from England to enter that port, in 1845. Other vessels in the company's service were Nereid and Cadboro.
Vancouver was 324 tons burthen, and had six guns and a crew of 24 men.
Pacific Central Station is adjacent to the Vancouver SkyTrainMain Street – Science World Station. Westbound trains go into downtown near hotels, businesses and other attractions. End of the line is at Waterfront Station (formerly the Canadian Pacific station), offering connections to the Seabus, West Coast Express commuter trains and other bus lines. Eastbound locals head into the suburbs, such as Burnaby and New Westminster.

TOFINO | Vancouver Island
Tofino, Vancouver Island is one of my favorite places on the island. It is a 5 hour drive from Victoria and it has so much to offer. In Tofino, you can go whale watching, Bear watching, Visit the Hot Spring Cove by boat or by sea plane. There are so many hikes around the area and of course some of the best surfing in the world! One thing that you cant miss are the fish tacos!
During our time in Tofino, we explored with West Coast Aquatic Safaris. They offer tours every day. This company was amazing and the staff were all great. The boats are great size for anyone looking to get out on the water. It even accommodates wheel chair access.
The company with all the awesome activites!:

Tofino, Vancouver Island is one of my favorite places on the island. It is a 5 hour drive from Victoria and it has so much to offer. In Tofino, you can go whale watching, Bear watching, Visit the Hot Spring Cove by boat or by sea plane. There are so many hikes around the area and of course some of the best surfing in the world! One thing that you cant miss are the fish tacos!
During our time in Tofino, we explored with West Coast Aquatic Safaris. They offer tours every day. This company was amazing and the staff were all great. The boats are great size for anyone looking to get out on the water. It even accommodates wheel chair access.
The company with all the awesome activites!:

The island was first explored by Europeans when British and Spanish expeditions arrived in the late 18th century. It was originally named Quadra's and Vancouver's Island in commemoration of the friendly negotiations held by Spanish commander of the Nootka Sound settlement, Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, and by British naval captain George Vancouver in Nootka Sound in 1792, to find a solution to the Nootka Crisis. Quadra's name was eventually dropped and it has since been known solely as Vancouver Island. It is one of several North American locations named after George Vancouver, the British Royal Navy officer who explored the Pacific Northwest coast of North America between 1791 and 1794.
Along with most of the southern Gulf Islands, plus various minor islands offshore from its southern end, the southern part of Vancouver Island is the only part of British Columbia (and of Western Canada) that lies south of the 49th Parallel. The area has one of the warmest climates in Canada and since the mid-1990s has been mild enough in a few areas to grow subtropical Mediterranean crops such as olives and lemons.
