Things to do:

This is the reading for Friday's class:

Download or get access to Google Earth satellite setting, or a similar GPS program.

Take a look at Canada. Note where the cities are. Take a look at the very large areas of the country that are not densely populated. Look at the areas that are built up, notice how they cluster and how they are isolated from each other.

Take a look at the landscape of the areas that separate the built-up areas of Canada. Try to get an idea of distances between urban clusters.

Take a look at the adjacent US areas to see if the Canadian urban clusters are part of a pattern of cities and regions extending outside the country.

Take a close look at farm and land-use patterns in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, southern Ontario, the Prairies and the Lower Mainland of  British Columbia.

Did you find the Alberta oil sands operations?

Did you do some street views? Look at Old Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, western cities and some small towns in parts of the country that you've never seen.
