Students from k to 12 can engage with the giant Canada C3 floor map in a variety of ways to stimulate deeper thinking about geography, Canada’s coastline, Indigenous coastal communities, traditional knowledge and more. The map was created as part of the Canada Coast to Coast to Coast journey (Canada C3) and the Royal BC Museum was proud to be a Community Hub location and to have two of our scientists Dr. Joel Gibson and Dr. Henry Choong on board for the journey. The Canada C3 giant floor map is linked to the six essential elements of geography as defined by the Canadian National Standards for Geography:
- The world in spatial terms
- Places and regions
- Physical systems
- Human systems
- Environment and society
- The uses of geography
