Pacificanada, a series of 8 half-hour films on British Columbia, formed part of a flank of National Film Board productions, broadcast on the CBC, about the different regions of the country. (The others were Adieu Alouette and West, two series about Quebec and the Prairie provinces, respectively, and Atlanticanada, presented as a two and one-half hour special broadcast.) In addition to presenting western Canadian life to the rest of the country, the series was intended to support the efforts of regional filmmakers.
