Canada in 2035
By Fehar Rizvi
Introduction
Immigration
Currently Canada has many immigrants from across the world, from the Middle East as well as Asia. Canada is a peaceful country, with a plethora of opportunities and a lot of cultural diversity because of its many immigrants. I believe Canada will try to get more immigrants and will become a desired destination for them because of how positively immigrants impact Canada. Canada would focus on attracting skilled workers that would benefit the economy and fill in jobs that will help the country. They contribute to the labor force and contribute to provincial and federal needs. Immigration forms the society by introducing new cultures and languages to Canada's, its something Canada strives off of.

Climate And Physical Regions
In Canada there are 7 main physical regions, the Cordillera, the Arctic Lands, the Canadian Shield, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, the Interior Plains, the Appalachian mountains, and the Hudson Bay Lowlands.
The Cordillera is a mountain range thats climate and vegetation varies.
The Canadian Shield is a large region that takes up 48% of Canada's surface. They have a variety of different climates due to their vastness.
The St. Lawrence River is an important river in Canada with tropical to arctic conditions. Due to it's sedimentary soil, it is excellent for growing crops.
The Appalachian mountains are an old range of mountains heavily affected by Erosion.
The Interior Plains are an area of Canada encompasses. The southern Interior Plains are characterized by grassland vegetation, and have vast expanses of sedimentary bedrock.
The Hudson Bay Lowlands is only 40 percent of a sedimentary basin in the middle of the Canadian Shield.
The Arctic Lands lie north of the tree line. The terrain is frozen and it is a zone of continuos permafrost.

Resources and Trade
We should conserve our natural resources, and sometime think about our future instead of the present. Our wellbeing economically and environmentally depends on how we manage our natural resources. We have to make choices as people and as consumers about what we do and buy, and whether or not it has a negative impact on our natural resources.
Canada gains much of its profit from exports. In 2035 that won't change. When Canada became its own country it depended heavily on trade and still does, and then an agreement with America helped benefit Canada's economy and make us both trading partners.
Urban Sprawl
In 2035 Urban Sprawl will be an even bigger issue due to the increase in population. Because there will be a higher amount of people wanting to live a good and peaceful lifestyle.
We can limit Urban Sprawl by living in a home that's a 30 min walking radius from the shopping mall, schools, and your work place. More people in Ontario can get involved and address the issue. And can help Ontario by conveying their ideas and concerns.
