Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate that shows two condensed maps, and three sets of graphs to show population change for the period 1851 to 1951. The top map shows the percent changes in population in eastern Canada for the period 1851 to 1901 (Newfoundland data is for 1857 to 1901). The bottom map shows the percent changes in population for Canada for the period 1901 to 1951 (Northwest Territories data is for 1911 to 1951). The first set of graphs show birth, death and natural increase rates per 1000 population for the period 1931 to 1951 for Canada and the provinces. The second set shows the changes in density of population for the period 1851 to 1951 for Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Quebec, the Western Provinces and Canada. The third graph shows the percent increase in Canada's total population by decade for the period 1851 to 1951.

In this lesson, you will use documented data recorded from a European perspective for the years circa 1630, 1740 and 1823 to examine the diversity of Indigenous groups, their settlement patterns and the physical characteristics of the landscape that helped to define their way of life. In addition, you will explore the settlement patterns of European settlers and their relationship with the Indigenous peoples during the same time periods.The data used in this map are documented data recorded from a European perspective from Natural Resources Canada.View the lesson here:https://bit.ly/2rR5MIjLearning Outcomes:By completing this lesson, students will gain the following curriculum-focused knowledge:1.

In this lesson, students will create a map to present components of the HDI and to consider how they relate to assessing quality of life around the world. You will use the built-in geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Online to perform analysis that shows how these indicators work together to provide a comprehensive snapshot of life quality.Learning Outcomes:By completing this lesson, students will gain the following curriculum-focused knowledge:

1. Understanding the interrelationships between population distribution, population density, and quality of life.
