Brandon University Department of Geography 38:283 CANADA: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY Dr. D. Eberts ASSIGNMENT 2: Comparing Canada’s Regions Using Census Data This assignment is designed to familiarize you with ways of describing and making comparisons among the regions of Canada using readily available statistics. We will focus on growth and the characteristics of the population, specifically age/sex structure. You will compare two regions . To analyze your regions’ age/sex structures you will construct population pyramids for 2001 for the two regions you are comparing. To facilitate direct comparison, you should use percentages to construct the pyramids rather than the raw population counts provided by E-stat (so some calculations will be required - you may do these by hand or using a computer spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel). One region will be the Territorial North, and the other will depend on your student number: Last digit of student number Region or 1 British Columbia 2 or 3 Western Canada 4 or 5 Ontario 6 or 7 Quebec 8 or 9 Atlantic Canada http://estat.statcan.ca

Back to menu Canada's Provinces and Territories Alberta Named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, Alberta was proclaimed a province on September 1, 1905. Located where the Rocky Mountains meet the prairie, Alberta's principal industries include oil and gas, which became a major revenue generator starting in the late 1940s, and agriculture, thanks to the pioneering farmers who settled in the province in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Memories of that era remain and are celebrated every summer when Calgarians don cowboy boots and hats and attend rodeos and chuckwagon races during the city's internationally renowned Stampede. But though still proud of being a part of the Canadian Wild West, many Albertans have left their farms and ranches for the city. Eighty per cent of the province's population of over 2.7 million is urban with more than half living in the provincial capital, Edmonton, and in Calgary. And Alberta entered the 21st century focused on its growing advanced technology sector highlighted by the Alberta Research Council, Canada's largest provincial research organization with about 400 employees. The province, which is home to 29 universities and colleges, also touts itself as having the most skilled and educated people in North America in which more than 40 per cent of Alberta's workforce hold post-secondary degrees or certificates.

ITIS Biological name search Species Access Canadian specimen information network ... Butterflies Canadian Geography and Butterfly Distribution Tundra Boreal Forest (or Taiga) Cordillera Prairie ... Changing Butterfly Distributions Canada, with a land area of 9,922,335 square kilometres (almost 4 million square miles), is the second largest country in the world in area. It extends more than 5000 kilometres east to west from St. John's in Newfoundland to Victoria on Vancouver Island, and more than 4600 kilometres from the top of Ellesmere Island in the Arctic to Point Pelee in southern Ontario to the south. Most of this vast area, however, is sparsely populated, with the majority of Canada's 30 million inhabitants living in a narrow zone along Lake Ontario and in the St. Lawrence River Valley, an area that occupies less than 1 per cent of the land area. Politically, Canada was until recently divided into ten provinces that cross the southern half of Canada and two territories in the north. From east to west, the provinces are Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, and the two territories were Northwest Territories and Yukon. On April 1, 1999, the eastern half of the mainland of the Northwest Territory, and most of the Arctic Islands, was made into the new territory of Nunavut. Two life zones dominate Canada's landscape. The boreal forest, or Taiga Zone, that stretches from Newfoundland, the northern edge of the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountain foothills northward to treeline, occupies fully 50 per cent of Canada's land mass or five million square kilometres; the Tundra Zone that stretches across northern Canada north of treeline, occupies another 25 per cent or 2.5 million square kilometres. These two life zones are the most sparsely populated parts of Canada, and have few roads to provide access for survey work on butterflies; the spotty distribution of butterflies on the maps for these areas reflects this paucity of available data.

FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY HOME FUNDAMENTALS ONLINE TEXTBOOK GLOSSARY ... ABOUT CHAPTER 10: Introduction to the Lithosphere (af). Landforms of Glaciation Introduction Glaciers have played an important role in the shaping of landscapes in the middle and high latitudes and in alpine environments. Their ability to erode soil and rock transport sediment , and deposit sediment is extraordinary. During the last glacial period more than 50 million square kilometers of land surface were geomorphically influenced by the presence of glaciers. Glacial Erosion Two major erosional processes occur at the base of a glacier . First, at the base of a glacier, large amounts of loose rock and sediment are incorporated into the moving glacial ice by partial melting and refreezing. The second process of erosion involves the abrasive action of the held rock and sediment held by the ice on the surface underneath the glacier. This abrasive process is known as

New Projects Northwest Territories Protected Areas Strategy Back To achieve a long-term balance of ecological, cultural, and economic values in the Mackenzie Valley, a network of culturally significant and ecologically representative protected areas must be reserved prior to or concurrently with the development of the pipeline. Immediate planning and action is needed to meet this objective within a timeframe that is relevant to communities, governments, industry, and First Nations. There is a unique, although time-limited opportunity in the Mackenzie Valley to maintain the ecological integrity and the natural connections that still exist. The Northwest Territories Protected Areas Strategy (NWT-PAS) provides an effective community-based tool for advancing culturally and ecologically significant areas to long-term protected status. The Five-Year NWT-PAS AP (Protected Areas Strategy Action Plan) describes the strategic enhancement needed over the next five years to identify, review, establish interim protection, and evaluate a network of protected areas in the Mackenzie Valley. The Action Plan focuses resources to meet the timeline of the proposed Mackenzie Valley Pipeline and provides increased capacity to the communities within the Mackenzie Valley to help meet their long-term conservation goals such as those identified in community conservation plans, land use plans, interim measures, and land claims.

Its borders lie with British Columbia on the south (latitude 60 N), Northwest Territories on the east, and the U.S. state of Alaska on the west (longitude 141 W). In the north is the Beaufort Sea. Physiography Watersheds Glaciation Climate Physiography The Yukon is situated in the Canadian Cordillera, a mountainous belt stretching along the Pacific coast of the North American continent. The cordillera is a series of mountain ranges and valleys along a northwestern alignment. The territory is separated from the Pacific coast by the Alaskan panhandle. Three mountain passes (Chilkat, Chilkoot and White Pass) allow access into the Yukon. The broad Yukon Interior Plateau lies at 600 to 1,000 metres in the central Yukon between the western Coastal Ranges, and the Selwyn and Ogilvie Mountains on the east. A tundra plain stretches along the Arctic coast. The Yukon has 200 kilometres of Arctic coastline along the Beaufort Sea, and one Arctic island located five kilometres off the north shore. Herschel Island is a territorial park. The highest point in Canada, Mount Logan (5,971 metres) is located in the St. Elias mountains in the southwest Yukon. At least 20 other peaks in these ranges rise over 3,000 metres.
