It started with colors. When my family decided on repainting the house, I noticed how change in one color changed the outlook and feel of an area. So, the observation started with color and my exploration began. I always had interest in organizing, decorating, and changing the looks of an area. Be it the area as small as my closet or as large as my entire house. This interest never had indicated me to become a professional in it. Because organizing few things is not considered as a skill, but an
Asian History in Canada Around the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, British Columbia was in a period of economic explosion. Those who were willing to work hard could find many opportunities. At this time, gold was found in British Columbia and Canada became dependent on workers to finish making the transcontinental railway. Many lumbering, coal mining and fishing business were not experiencing enough growth to match the needs of the society. This portrayed Canada as a place of opportunity

When referring to the Canadian railway system with a historical horizon, we can see the Canadian government has played an essential role especially in the financing aspect. The officials have transferred from direct management to indirect management so as to ensure the railway systems function effectively.

Elk, used to thrive in natural communities through much of the Northern Hemisphere, from Europe all the way through most of the other continents.

moving away. They said there are so many opportunities in the city, but Woody never wanted opportunities, he just wanted to be a lumberjack. So far this job was running smoothly. They were on schedule and there was an abundance of trees in British Columbia to keep them busy for the next while. It seemed so simple at first. Woody and his crew would cut down the trees and they would be shipped to a nearby river where they would be floated downstream to the new lumber mill. At least this was what

In this regard, the focus will be on the Peace River Country, which is a parkland region that spans from northwestern Alberta to the Rocky Mountains in northeastern British Columbia and around the Peace River. As part of its examination, this report will explore the local environment conditions, and offer predictions of what lies ahead in areas of economic development, the food practices including how climate changes may
Surrey, British Columbia, Canada The city of Surrey, which is the second largest city by population and the third largest city by area in British Columbia. According to U.S. census 2016, the population of the city is 517,887 and the population is increasing as people from different parts of the world are willing to move to one of the most culturally diverse cities in Canada.

challenge. As a member of a core group, we were able to devise a functional remote-controlled robot designed to achieve a specific task under the constraints of time. As a consequence of team effort and ingenuity, we ranked first in our province of British Columbia at the 1996 National Championships. Another aspect of my participation with this high school club in problem solving was to acquire the neccessary funds in the construction materials, competition fees as well as for personal expenses required
schooling, and the learners' current academic ability, just to name a few. Learning in any language is affected by learning disabilities, but second language learners with special needs present additional educational challenges.

Each of these regions are separated by how they live, and their different culture background. Which forms our own identites within the counrty. Canadian and American government also show difference in how they govern themselves. United States
Do Seek Their Meat from God takes place in a rural, recently settled area on the borders of an “ancient unviolated forest” (191) located in a ravine. The geographical region, however, was not explicitly given, but, it can be determined by the author’s use of characters and colloquial language. By taking into account of the habitat ranges of the different organisms, such as panthers and peewees, as well as terms like “shanty”, which is Canadian-French in origin, the location of the story can be narrowed
