Lower Mainland British Columbia
The Lower Mainland is a name commonly applied to the region surrounding Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In 2007, 2,524,113 people live in the region; sixteen
of the province's thirty most populous municipalities are located there. While the term Lower Mainland has been recorded from the earliest period of non-native settlement
in British Columbia, it has never been officially defined in legal terms. However, the term has historically been in popular usage for over a century to describe a region that extends from Horseshoe Bay south to the Canada, United States
border and east to Hope at the eastern end of the Fraser Valley. It has been increasingly used to include the commuter suburbs of the Sunshine Coast (Gibson's,
Sechelt, Roberts Creek, etc.) extending to the city of Powell River.
