  1. Canada Location, Climate, and Resources

  2. GPS and E.Q. • GPS: SS6G6b. Describe how Canada’s location, climate, and natural resources impact trade. • E.Q. How have Canada’s location, climate, and natural resources impacted trade?

  3. How Location Impacts Trade • Canada is located on 3 oceans (Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific) – good for trade with Europeand Asia ASIA EUROPE

  4. How Location Impacts Trade • 9 major seaports: goods can be shipped in and out of Canada without having to travel through other countries.
