Canada's natural resources are found on the land, under it, in the oceans and rivers, and in the air. Fish, forests, minerals, land, water and wildlife are the reasons Canada first grew into a country and these resources have shaped the modern Canada of today. Some of Canada's resources, such as fish and forests are renewable. Others, such as coal and oil are non-renewable. Many people earn their living based on different resources and all need to be managed and used carefully. Primary industries are located wherever resources are found. Secondary or manufacturing industries are businesses or activities that make or provide useful and needed products and depend on different resources. Service industries such as banking and transportation are needed to make all other industries work.
