Strait of Georgia

The Strait of Georgia is a 240 km (150 mi)-long strait between Vancouver Island and the mainland Pacific coast of British Columbia, Canada. The southern end of the strait is Puget Sound, while the northern end is Johnstone Strait. Several major islands are found in the Strait, the largest being Texada Island and Lasqueti Island. The strait is a major navigation channel on the west coast of North America, owing to the presence of the Port of Vancouver.
