  2. The Settlement of Canada by Europeans Shaping Canada’s Population Distribution

  3. John Cabot • Giovanni Caboto • Italian explorer • Hired by the King of England to explore the west (new world) • 1497 Discovered north Atlantic Canada • Made multiple trips • Found cod fish in abundance off the coast of Newfoundland (the Grand Banks)

  4. Where did Canada get it’s name? What was another factor behind Canada’s Exploration?

  5. Why did so many European nations want to own a piece of the “New World?” • Portugal • Spain • England • France • Denmark Resources and Trade Routes

  6. Resources? • Resource • A source or supply that can be readily drawn upon • Natural Resources • Same as a resource, except this is only naturally occurring • Examples of Resources: • Money • Tools • Constructed materials • Labour or “man” power • Examples of Natural Resources: • Food • Plants • Soils, rocks and metals • Electricity (energy) • Animals • Air • Water

  7. Think, List and Compare • Think: • Think about all the resources and natural resources you use or depend on during 1 week of living. • Make two lists: • One for all the resources you use in a week • One for all the natural resources you use in a week • Compare: • With the people next to you, compare your lists. • Is there anything you missed? • What is similar or different between your lists?

  8. Resources That Drive Canada’s Economy Early Exploration Present Day Oil Ore (metals, especially iron and nickel) Timber/Pulp and Paper Food (meats and grains) Maple Syrup (still the world’s largest exporter) • Cod (and other fish) • Furs (especially beaver pelts) • Timber (wood) • Coal • Gold (though little was found until the Yukon gold rush in 1896) • Maple Syrup

  9. Did You Know… Nova Scotia was Canada's 
largest producer of Coal from 1827 - 1945 Nova Scotia was Canada's 
largest producer of Steel from about 1870 - 1930

  10. Beaver Pelts:

  11. Canada’s Trade Routes • Demand for resources from England and France • Further exploration of Canada (North America) • Further exploitation of natural resources • Settlements, trading posts and colonies establish territory • Opportunity for wealth and pressure to work drives people to North America • Population begins to govern itself

  12. Patterns in Human Settlement (Canada) The global proportion of people living in cities surpassed 50% between 2012-2013 More people now live in cities than in rural locations

  13. Population Distribution of Canada • Where do most Canadians live? • What are Canada’s three largest settlements? • Describe the distribution pattern of Canada’s people • How many people would you expect to see in a square kilometer in: • Toronto • Regina • Edmonton
