Canadian Resource Sector

Canada's resource sector involves the exploration, extraction, and processing of natural resources such as minerals, metals, oil, natural gas, forestry products, and water. It plays a vital role in the economy by providing raw materials for industries domestically and internationally. The sector is significant in regions like Alberta (oil and gas), Saskatchewan (potash and uranium), and British Columbia (forests and minerals). It offers jobs, generates government revenue, and supports technological and infrastructure development. However, it also involves environmental considerations and ongoing efforts to balance economic growth with sustainable practices.
