While British Columbians are known for their active lifestyles, they also take time to cheer on the home teams - and there are plenty of them. Vancouver supports professional hockey, football, soccer and lacrosse teams. There are also hockey teams in all regions of the province. You can catch professional skiing at Whistler each year as well as one of North America's premier mountain-biking events. Penticton is home to one of Canada's oldest triathlon events. And of course, we can't forget that BC is host province to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games!
