Northwest: First up we have Atlin in the northwest corner of BC. At 59N it's basically part of the Yukon, especially since the only road to it is through the Yukon. It is well-protected by the huge mountain ranges to the west although there are some minor peaks to the east. Climates to the west are those such as Yakutat with huge amounts of precipitation.
Southwest: Coquitlam will represent the southwest corner of BC and I think it does so fairly well. There are some drier microclimates in places, but overall I think it represents the area well in all respects.
Central-east: Crescent Spur is 140 km east of Prince George, with Jasper, AB another 200 km to the east. Crescent Spur has the highest amount of rain days in July in Canada at 21.8. Nearby McBride is close with 21.1 days in July. No thanks!
Northeast: Fort Nelson is pretty typical of the area around the BC/AB/NWT border with relatively flat topography and spruce/birch forest predominating the land. Winters are the coldest on average in the province for a city.
Central-west: Hartley Bay is located south of Prince Rupert but pretty far north of northern Vancouver Island, amongst the various islands and archipelagos of the area. No roads to it either. Horrible climate.
Southeast: Sparwood is in the Elkford valley near the BC/AB border at 1100m asl, surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks and lush boreal vegetation. This is probably my favorite climate here (followed by Atlin).
