ITMB is pleased to release the 1st edition of our Vancouver Island South Travel Reference Map. This is an exciting new venture for ITMB. For the past three years, we have been developing a digital data base for British Columbia at 1:250,000 scale. This has never been prepared by anyone previously. The first title to be released covers the ecologically-sensitive southern portion of the island protecting BC’s coastal areas. It shows Victoria, Nanaimo, the West Coast Trail, and as many of the forest service roads as possible. FS discontinued its mapping program several years ago and this map is our replacement version. The North Half of the island should be ready next spring; also, the popular Lower Mainland region and Okanagan region should return to our line after too long an absence by spring. Sunshine Coast, Squamish/Garibaldi, Kootenay Region, and Cariboo Region are underway. Vancouver Island South includes the island as far North as the Courtenay / Comox area, Texada Island, Saltery Bay, Sechelt, Bowen Island.
