The Canadian province of British Columbia has created more protected areas. Could become the destination of choice for photographers here.

That's great news, I wish the US would add even more parks to our network.

This is great news. I hope they don't get involved in the controversy of photographer permits for small independant photographers.

Ed,

I don't know what the current regulations are. I was through central and northern B.C. over the last couple of years and nobody approached me regarding photographing in the Provincial Parks. If fees in Alberta parks, as in Darwin's prior post regarding fees there, isn't rescinded, B.C. sounds the better bet for serious photographers.
