A British Columbian town 5 hours north of Vancouver, a trip which must include a ferry or plane. Enjoy dirt beaches at the local lakes, marvel at the number of shitty oversized pickup trucks, and savour seafood fresh out the sea- although you'll have to look hard for it, since the locals don't like seafood. Also, don't eat any shellfish because most of the local beaches are contaminated with untreated sewage waste.
Culture vultures will enjoy the charming night-time entertainment at the local watering hole the "Zoo", a surely captivating experience.
Tip #1: When a local says that Powell River is a world class destination, agree with him, even though there's a good chance he's never left the province or even been to Vancouver before.
Tip #2: When a local proudly tells you that "zunga" is a locally coined word, smile and nod like you know wtf they are talking about.
Tip #3: Make sure your hotel bookings can be cancelled, because if it starts raining (like it does 80% of the time) you will have SFA to do.
