    Over the next few weeks, students in class 41 FI will be learning about Canada's political and physical regions through a social studies unit called "La course incroyable du Canada!". Students will learn about the characteristics and industries of each province and territory, how industry and the environment impact each other, and social issues in different Canadian regions. Near the end of the unit, students will research a social issue in depth and write to the appropriate provincial or federal government official with their opinions and proposed solutions. Parents can help by reviewing Canada's map with their child and exploring each region's tourism website to learn more about the different parts of Canada.
