We spent the first 10-15 minutes summarising the key points students should be aware of in respect to the fishery.

We then started the last topic we will be covering this year in the course. This is the understandings related to energy. In particular we will be focusing primarily on oil and hydroelectricity because of their importance to Newfoundland & Labrador. We started covering the reasons for energy consumption and why Canada is a major user of energy as compared to other nations around the world.

We will be exploring this topic further in coming classes and students should really try to gain an appreciation of the importance of petroleum products in their lives.
