identify Canada’s natural resources and industries, where they are located and why, and investigate how we use these resources in a variety of ways. The focus now shifts to economic and environmental sustainability of our resources. Students explore several resource management issues related to the forestry, fishing and energy sectors and identify how and why different stakeholders have differing values and views on these resource issues. The goal is to have students identify how certain industries in Canada impact the environment and how their own lifestyles impact the environment. The unit concludes with students identifying and exploring a variety of alternative approaches to resource development and management as a way of working towards developing a more sustainable society. Framing Questions: What roles do various industries play in your community? Which of Canada’s natural resources do you think has the most important uses? Why is it crucial that we care about and sustain our natural resources? How can you change your way of living to reduce your consumption of resources? How do we balance our needs and wants with sustainable resource development? What criteria should we set for the extraction and development of Canada’s natural resources? Which resources and industries would you consider to be most valuable to Canada?
