Four Types of Industry ®Primary Industries ®Secondary Industries ®Tertiary Industries ®Quaternary

Primary Industries ® These industries take raw materials from the environment. ® Logically primary industries are located in parts of Canada where the natural resources are found ® Examples of Primary Industries ® Mining, Fishing, Forestry, Agriculture

Primary Industries Cont… ® With out these industries Canada’s economy ($$)could not exist in its current form ® However, there is a very small percentage of Canadians that work in primary industries. ® Can you remember what % of Canadians are directly involved in Agriculture? Only 4%!

Secondary Industries ® Secondary industries process the raw materials into finished/useable goods. ® The most important level of secondary industry is manufacturing.

Manufacturing ® Often involves more than one stage of processing. ® Example: iron ore, limestone and other metals are all needed to make steel =(Primary manufacturing). ® The steel is then used to make other things = (Secondary manufacturing) like a making car part from the steel. ® Manufacturing industries are located in populated areas because they want to be near their customers. ® The closer they are, the less transportation costs and GHG’s there will be!

Location Factors of (Secondary Industry) Manufacturing Plants ® Availability of Raw Materials ® Location of Market ® Availability of Fresh Water and Power Supply ® Labour Supply ® Transportation ® Political Factors ® Circumstance

Tertiary Industries ® Tertiary industries provide SERVICES that support the primary and secondary industries and society in general. ® More than 75% of Canadians work in Tertiary and Quaternary Industries that is more than the amount involved in Primary and Secondary Industries combined. ® Examples: stores, newspapers, restaurants, government. Anything that provides a SERVICE to the public.

Tertiary Industries cont… ® Tertiary Industries are located where there is a market for their services. ® Since it needs people ( a market) to be successful it means that many of them will be located in urban areas or towns. ® ® If Supply and Demand there is a large population base, there will be a greater variety of tertiary industries. For example: IKEA

Quaternary Industries ® Involves the processing of ideas rather than products. ® Quaternary industries tend NOT to follow any of the above locational factors. Since quaternary industries deal with information, they do not require specific locations.

Quaternary Industries cont… ® Many quaternary industries are located in home offices around the world. The only location requirement is access to the information. ® Example: computer programmers, professors, statistics analysts ® Most of the time these jobs are counted as part of the tertiary industries as they do provide services

Basic and Non-Basic Industries ® Basic Industries – bring money into a community. Ex. Mining, a University ® ; ) = Basic = Brings $ ® Non-Basic Industries – recycle money around in a community. Ex. A Local restaurant ® ; ) ®A Non-basic = do NOT bring $ communities economic development and sustainability depends upon basic industries to BRING in new $$.
