what I thought of our wheather

The climate in the lower mainland is is different in other areas. Such as we get a lot of rain but have a great selection of vegetation. I don't think the wheather bothers me because i am so used to it!!!!

Answer for Q1 ~ Corrina

I've been living in North Delta, BC for my entire life. Because of its cold and wet weather, it has forced me into more indoor activities. The weather in the Lower Mainland has affected my lifestyle but it also made me appreciate the short summer days. During the summer, I would do all the things I enjoy doing but can't do during the cold weather. Things like biking, long walks, and lots of other outdoor activities. As a result, the harsh weather in the Lower Mainland limited a lot of things I like doing but it also made me appreciate the short summer more.

Question 1

Well, since we live in a place with a moderate climate, the weather and temperature effects what kind of clothes we buy. For example, most of us have snow gear for winter and rain jackets and things for autumn and spring. As compared to other places in the world that have different seasons. Like, a person who lives in a tropical country wouldn't own snow boots.

We fish because we live by the ocean, and a lot of people go for walks because of our forests. Also, most people own an umbrella or rain coat because of how much it rains here.

Answer to question 1

we do more winter sports, eat more fish because we live near mountains, and water.

Answer to Q1

I think that on the whole, we eat more fish than some other people due to the fact that we live near the water. We also eat a lot of berries, because of the abundant number of berry bushes (blackberry, salmon-berry, raspberry). We also go skiing, etc. due to the many mountains in our vicinity. Also, since it is quite cold, we play a lot of winter sports. Finally, because of the many forests and lakes around here, we are quite outdoorsy and like to do activities such as hiking, swimming and canoeing.

Answer to question, from Simran

  I believe our culture is greatly affected by where we live. For example, here in BC we are very close to the pacific coast line in the northern hemisphere having temperate weather. So that effects our diet from vegetarian to meat specifically seafood which is widely available, so we can incorporate this into our diet more.

One way that we have to adapt to where we live is that there are many trees in B.C. So the houses are usually made of wood. While in other places around the world, houses are sometimes made of brick. Another reason for wooden homes is that it keeps us warm during the winter because we do not have a tropical climate.
