Canada is a great place to live and work.  It has a very diverse geography, is a world leader internationally, and home to abundant resources  -  both human and physical.  We should be proud to be Canadian.

    The course will improve your knowledge and understanding of Canada, and explore everyday experiences and events that are presently shaping our geography.  Canada is too big to study in one course.  Your teacher can give you only a sketch map of our geography.  It's up to you to fill in the details through geographic inquiry and investigations.  A variety of tools will be used to gather, organize, and analyze data.

    Geography is fun if we take on the challenge to think and listen to insrtuctions carefully.  You will be encouraged to ask the question why, use your prior knowledge of Canada and work with others to make informed judgements about social and environmental issues.

    A study of Geography can help you develop the skills that will make you successful wherever information and creativity are valued.

The grade 9 Applied Canadian Geography course will be divided into the following units of study:
