Grade 5: BC Communities and Their Resources

Student Handout - I am the Land

Imagine that the land of the communities of Chilliwack, Wells, and Yale could speak to the people who live there. Perhaps it would say something like this: "I am the land. I choose how you live, but you can change me, too. Sometimes this change is slow, and sometimes it is fast -at times very fast. Think about me. You need me, and now that you are here we must live in harmony, or I will become ill and old and no longer support you. Please answer these questions about me. If you know me better, we can be friends."
