• identify and analyse patterns of spatial organization, including land use, population distribution, and ecozones;

• demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics of human systems (e.g., transportation, population, communication, energy networks, industry);

• demonstrate a knowledge of Canada's significant world contributions (e.g., engineering, telecommunications technology);

• demonstrate an ability to collect, organize, and synthesize information from a variety of sources to identify the characteristics of Canada's geography.

Designed for secondary school students, the CN Tower Hospitality Education Program features a behind-the-scenes tour of our kitchens. During the tour our Chef will highlight items such as health and safety in the kitchen, use of equipment and sourcing ingredients with an umbrella discussion on hospitality as a career choice. The discussion during the tour can be shaped by the teacher and students and their questions while on the tour. Students are provided access to the Look Out and Glass Floor levels of the CN Tower following the kitchen tour.
