CGC1D1 - Geography of Canada
Geography is about determining the significance of “place” as it relates to the natural
environment, the human environment, and interactions within and between them. To
investigate geographic issues, students must analyse the influences and interrelationships
that give a place its distinctive characteristics and thus its spatial importance. Geographic
analysis also requires an investigation of the economic, environmental, social, and political
perspectives that relate to an issue. The application of the concepts of geographic thinking,
spatial skills, and the use of field studies are central to the geographic inquiry process
and the learning of geography.
