If the BC Gov't is willing to give out depth maps for free downloading, that's great! Our cheap Manitoba Gov't wouldn't put up a site giving out free depth maps even if there was a large protest, because they make a ton of money selling them to sportsmen (at $3 - $9 each). The stupid thing is that most of the maps were made by provincial biologists and hydrologists whose salary was being paid by us taxpayers. Besides, I might only want to try a new lake once or twice, and a download-quality map would be fine for that. Then if interested, I could buy a better quality map of the lake. You guys are lucky!
