This is what some would say is an improved version of the Garmin topo maps (both taken from the NRCAN Database). It is large, and takes a while to D/L, but should be good. If you have troubles I can maybe point you in the right direction.
Some comments:
-roads are more accurately drawn on this topo, however most minor roads are unlabeled.
-navigational aids such as lighthouses, buoys, etc are all on the Ibycus maps and completely missing on Garmin topo - although this does create a bit of water clutter in highly trafficked waterways, but i suppose this would be valuable to boaters.
-BC does have some glitches, apparently.
Here's a screenshot comparison up near Lion's Head:
