A world-class setting...
Where British Columbia's majestic forests meet the stunning Pacific Ocean you will find some of the most breathtaking scenery in all of Canada. From the forested slopes of Alberni Inlet to the magnificent sandy beaches of Long Beach, the West Coast of Vancouver Island is known world wide for its abundant sea life, lush rainforests and scenic mountain vistas.
At the heart of the West Coast of Canada are the communities of Port Alberni, Tofino, Ucluelet and Bamfield. Although closely situated to Nanaimo and the larger cities of Victoria and metropolitan Vancouver, these West Coast communities maintain a unique, casual lifestyle. Also home to the Nuu Chah Nulth First Nations, the area is richly influenced by local first nations peoples, and proudly maintains and displays traditional first nations arts, language and culture.
The West Coast’s rugged natural beauty provides numerous recreational opportunities that make it a leading destination for outdoors enthusiasts. Surfing, hiking, kayaking, camping, swimming, climbing, mountain biking, fishing and exploring are all popular activities in the Pacific Rim.
The Pacific Rim International Student Program is the first choice for International Students seeking a world-class education, in world-class facilities in a uniquely Canadian location.
