Welcome, enjoy video clips of events and scenery in northern BC. Each is a small file suitable for either fast or slow Internet connections. We have edited the footage down to the most exciting moments. So hang on, it's a wild ride. |
The format for all videos is Windows Media Player. We recommend version 7.01 or newer. If you need the player or need to upgrade your existing player, click here. |
| We have started to add larger video files. They will take longer to download but the quality is better, and the files are still small enough for a computer on a dial-up connection. | |
