The Central Party was a minor political party in British Columbia, Canada. It nominated one candidate in the 2001 British Columbia election: Scott Yee placed last in a field of 7 candidates in the riding of Schuswap, winning 41 votes (0.18% of the total).
When BritishColumbia joined the Dominion of Canada in 1871, it was on the condition that the province be connected to central Canada by railroad.
BritishColumbia’s economy was largely based on the exploitation of natural resources through mining, lumbering, and fisheries, which produced a range of goods for export.
In 1993 the BritishColumbia Treaty Commission was created by agreement of the provincial and federal governments and the First Nations Summit, a negotiating body representing a number of indigenous peoples.
BritishColumbia, the westernmost province of Canada, is bounded on the E by Alberta, on the S by Montana, Idaho, and Washington, on the W by the Pacific Ocean, on the NW by Alaska, and on the N by the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories.
BritishColumbia attracts millions of visitors annually, and the land is a hunting and fishing paradise.
Large areas of central and N BritishColumbia are sparsely settled; almost three fourths of the population is crowded into the southwest coastal tip in the Georgia Strait region.
