| For anybody going there soon I have some decent guide books, etc..

| 471.2 | Some info... | VAOU02::BOTMAN | Pieter Botman - Vancouver SWS | Wed Jul 17 1991 02:54 | 15 |
| I'll try to answer some of your questions. Being more specific
might help.
No we are not @ UBC. If you want names of professors or staff at UBC,
you could try ric VAOU02::LAM, he does some support work there, and
the sales rep for UBC is Richard Harris @ VAO. UBC is on the internet
so you can e-mail them directly yourself. By the way Vancouver also
has Simon Fraser University (which is actually located in Burnaby).
I won't attempt to summarize life in Vancouver. Suffice it to say
that people here do **not** hunger to move to eastern Canada. What's
in the DEC office? Normal western canadian sales office, combined
sales, ops, and dis staff of around 100. We had good numbers in FY91.

| 471.4 | Info on BC ferries | KAOFS::R_DAVEY | Robin Davey CSC/CTH dtn 772-7220 | Tue Jul 11 1995 00:13 | 12 |
| I'm going to be driving from Calgary to Smithers, BC this summer
and was told it would be really worth the extra time to drive to
the Island and then take the ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert.
I've been all over the WWW looking for info on the BC ferries and
can't find anything. Is there someone in VAO or VCO that could
provide me with some info.
Thanks,
Robin Davey

| 471.5 | Did It - Was Great! | KAOFS::LOCKYER | | Tue Jul 11 1995 16:13 | 13 |
| Robin, I took the ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy many years
ago. If memory serves, it's a 20 hour trip and is not cheap. You pay
for you vehicle and each person and you'll probably want a stateroom as
well, or else you have to sleep sitting up! It's a super trip though!!
I suggest you call Information in BC - I bet BC Ferries has an 800
number and will send you all the info you need. Of course, you should
be able to get the same stuff from a travel agency.
Also, this ferry us very popular, so you should make reservations soon.
And finally, if you do go to Vancouver Island and have the time,
consider a trip to Pacific Rim National Park.

| Didn't find a WWW page. They don't have an 800 number use
(604) 669 1211
The Port Hardy run is busy in summer and bookings are recommended.
Have fun...

I've been there many times, some of the best summer vacations we've
ever had. Absolutely beautiful.

| re: .8 and .9
Thanks, I had already been to the BC Tourism page but when I checked
the ferry link was not there. I just went back to check again and
there is now an entry with a NEW sticker on it. Maybe my use of the
comment form on the BC Ministry of Small Business, Tourism and Culture
page is why it has been added.
