Description

Geography is about connections. Connections between people, places, and God. In this course, you will develop an understanding of a number of topics, ranging from Canada’s physical regions to the current and future economic needs of our country. We will look at the environmental concerns of Canada and discuss our Christian duty to cherish and preserve the resources that we have been blessed with. This course explores Canada’s distinct and changing character and the geographic systems and relationships that shape it. We will investigate the interactions of natural and human systems within Canada, as well as our country’s economic, cultural, and environmental connections to other countries. We will use a variety of inquiry and communication methods to analyze and evaluate geographic issues and present the findings.
