What makes the EBC even better is the wealth of special local information and BC lore - all those details that make BC the weird and wonderful place it is.
The EBC was conceived and compiled by Harbour Publishing, an award-winning, independent, 100% BC-owned company, with advice and assistance from more than 200 British Columbians.
