I have always wanted to see the mountains in Western Canada close up. Since part of my job involves helping Statistics Canada form relationships with some of Canada's largest companies, I was thrilled when I was asked to travel to British Columbia (lots of mountains there) to meet with high-ranking officials of a number of these companies in Vancouver. Descending toward YVR, all I could see was fog and cloud cover. Oh well, it was enough to be in BC, having never traveled that far west before. My few foggy days in Vancouver passed quickly, and I was beginning to think that the mountains were either a myth or really far away from the city.or maybe not that big. On my last day, when I opened the hotel curtains, finally-the sun, and to my surprise, there they were, gloriously huge mountains. I got both my wishes: good meetings and an eyeful of the coastal mountain range. Magnificent!
