Human Population Issues in Canadian Geography:
In this unit students will examine the concept of demography and develop an appreciation that Canada has a very diverse population with increasing concerns.
Canada has always been an attractive destination for immigrants largely because of the quality of life and opportunities we have to offer as a nation. Within our own borders we have experienced much change in population dynamics. In particular, the trend towards increased urbanization poses issues for both urban and rural areas.
