Virtual Geography Texts on Canada and Germany Geography Links Unit 5 - Canadian Geography of Energy A. Hecht Unit aim This unit describes some basic elements of the energy sector in Canada, its potentials and its risks. The aim is to provide the student with a better understanding of the different types of energy resources, to stimulate his or her sensitivity in the field of energy consumption, to look at resource potentials and at the sustainability of energy resources. Keywords Oil, natural gas, coal, hydro, nuclear energy, tar sands, natural resources, reserves, energy consumption, exports, imports, "energy rich" and "energy poor" provinces. Per capita energy consumption in Canada is very high when compared to other nations of the world. It is approximately 50% higher than that of the US and about 60 times higher than that of India. Canada has a high per capita consumption for a number of reasons: cold winters and hot summers; long travel distances; a high number of resource extracting and raw material processing/manufacturing industries that require much energy; and, a high public demand for comfort. Canada also has substantial energy resources, which means that there is little pressure to conserve or reduce energy use. These reasons not withstanding, Canadians are viewed by the world as wasters of energy. Canada is a major producer as well as exporter of various energy resources - oil, natural gas, coal, hydro, and other energy sources such as wood, solar, wind and nuclear. In the second half of the 1990s, Canada exported approximately $23 billion worth of energy per year, mainly in the form of natural gas, oil, coal and electricity. This represents about 7% of all

Canada International Geography Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, Canada has a land mass of 9 970 610 km , making it the second-largest country in the world after Russia. From east to west, Canada encompasses six time zones. Canada's motto, "From Sea to Sea," is geographically inaccurate. In addition to its coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific, Canada has a third sea coast on the Arctic Ocean, giving it the longest coastline of any country. Because of the harsh northern climate, only 12 percent of the land is suitable for agriculture. Thus, most of the population of 30 million live within a few hundred kilometres of the southern border, where the climate is milder, in a long thin band stretching between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. Canada is divided into seven regions, each with a very different landscape and climate. 1. The Pacific Coast

CCGE mandate CCGE Executive CCGE November 2002 Newsletter Report from the CCGE Chair ... How to join Sorry, no events listed. 04/03/03 05:12 AM About Sitemap The result of the poor labour situation this past year has had major impact on education throughout Alberta. The early months of 2002 witnessed the majority of Alberta public and separate school teachers on strike and although short-lived, the labour situation remained strained through to the end of the last school year. Provincially arbitrated settlements were awarded over the summer resulting in the largest class sizes ever in the province’s history and the entire province in the throws of a task force on public education to help capture the priorities for education in the years to come. One particular aspect of this labour strife has been felt by Alberta Learning’s curriculum development branch. The K-12 review of the Social Studies Program of Studies has, as a mandate, validation by stakeholder advisory committee. This committee is comprised of various stakeholder groups from all geographic regions of the province and has, at its core, practising classroom educators. The Alberta Teachers’ Association, in reaction to the controversial legislation passed this past spring to suspend the rights of teachers from job action and association, requested solidarity amongst its members to boycott all voluntary services with Alberta Learning. As a result, curriculum change went ahead without the consultation of classroom teachers. Social studies teachers of K-9 found on their desks upon return to the classrooms this fall, draft curriculum without the teacher validation process necessary for the full and co-operative implementation such change requires.
