The b.c. gold rush was when the people in b.c. (early 1860's) struck gold. they soon became the 'gold colony' and sold their gold to people. this had a good impact on the fur trade. the gold business ended in the middle of the 1860's. this caused a great depression for the people in b.c. so the confederation let them join in the confederation. they also built a railway from b.c. to the east of Canada. then July 20th b.c. became Canada's 6th province.
