Economic Development: Effects on Territory and Society
THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
The designated focus for this section of the program demands that students consider "The effects of economic activity on the organization of the society and the territory."
Students should first gain a perspective on the economic development of Quebec today. Then students should examine and interpret the way the economy in Quebec and Canada developed over time, from 1500 to the present, all the while considering how that economic development impacted on the organization of territory and society, of regions and the various peoples involved. Students will reflect on the development of social values of equity, justice and solidarity, and in this way students will exercise their own citizenship.
The following resource collections are intended to support Learning Situations that follow a similar strategy described above. For now they are collected as follows:
By chronological reference points, by first Reflecting on Quebec's Economy Today, then considering economic development as concerns:
First Occupants | French Regime | British Rule: Timber | British Rule: Early Industrialization | Confederation | Modern Industrial Developments (For now, refer to Modernization Collection) |
Also to be developed, sections on:

First Occupants:
Native trade routes and a new economics of territorial expansion
A suggested approach might have students compare and contrast local aboriginal
cultures as concerns their use of the land and environment, their trading patterns, their societies
and the way territory and trade routes were involved. Students could also critically consider
the effects of very early external influence on Natives from early Basque fishers. In this
way they will be seeking explanatory factors (Competency 2) for past economic development,
and societal and territorial change. They could further develop their interpretive skills by
comparing ours with the early economies of China.

Investigating the Fur Trade economy during the French Regime
Questions to consider:How did the Fur trade alter territorial organization and occupation, and change societies?
What external factors (in Europe and elsewhere) were involved?
Who was profiting from the fur trade and how can that explain the slow development of New France?
Fur Trade Stories (New Oct. 08)
Structured using time periods and timelines for clarity, the site also allows you to browse resources that illustrate different aspects (economy, social, etc.) of the fur trade. Many original documents and artifacts are available, journals from people involved, etc. A good potential site for studying continuity and change on a number of levels.
