Canadian Regional Geography Part 2: The Industrial Heartland
Industrial Heartland
Canadian Regions:
Provinces: Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Region
Defining Characteristics
→ Physical Environment: climate, soil, energy sources
→ Cultural Context: anglophone Ontario + Francophone Quebec
→ Eooi ‘ole: atios heatlad/oe
Historical Evolution
→ Late 18th etuy, Uppe Caada = usettled iteio, Loe Caada/Ne Fae =
French settlement along St. Lawrence River
→ Lower Canada: seigneurial system = narrow lots of land, allowing for riverfront access
→ By end of 19th century, Lower Canada had shortage of land + out-migration to US
→ Upper Canada: maintained agricultural land, expanding wheat industry + growing
cities/towns
→ Important Characteristics of Upper & Lower Canada:
o Water transportation
o Physical environment: none on Canadian Shield + productive soils in Southern
Ontario
o Proximity to established manufacturing core of NYC = relative location
o Moteals doiae i tade routes
o Upper = Toronto
o Lower = Montreal

Urbanization: the process whereby a society/nation is transformed from one which is
predominantly rural in character to one which is predominantly urban in character
Industrialization: the process whereby an economy becomes increasingly dominated by the
factory mode of production
