This course examines interrelationships within and between Canada’s natural and human
systems and how these systems interconnect with those in other parts of the world. Students
will explore environmental, economic, and social geographic issues relating to topics
such as transportation options, energy choices, and urban development. Students will
apply the concepts of geographic thinking and the geographic inquiry process, including
spatial technologies, to investigate various geographic issues and to develop possible
approaches for making Canada a more sustainable place in which to live.
