9:15 - 11:50 A Block Physical Geography
12:30 - 3:05 D Block Legal Studies
A Block Physical Geography - Today, we'll be in the learning commons to work on your BC renewable energy activity (your final exam). In this activity you will need to examine the five most common renewable energy sources (geothermal, wind, biomass, marine hydrokinetic, and solar)...as about 90% of electricity in B.C. is produced from hydroelectric sources (B.C. is home to over 15 709 MW of hydroelectric capacity) I've excluded it from the mix …you will need to:
You will have today and tomorrow in the learning commons to finish this. Remember you must look
at the five renewables (not Hydro) and provide sound reasoning as to
why you believe their top choice should be chosen as an energy project here in
BC. Here are some links for you to use:
BC Sustainable Energy Association
Energy Alternatives
Clean Energy BC
Government of BC Electricity and Alternative Energy
Pembina Institute: Renewable and Energy Alternatives BC
Energy BC
Sierra Club BC Alternative Energy
Tyee Mapping BC's Clean Energy
Canadian Wind Energy Association BC
BC Geothermal Estimates
Canadian Geographic Energy IQ
BC Hydro Green Energy Study
BC Energy Production
Why is Marine Energy the Wave of the Future?
To help with your project/exam on renewable energy:
British Columbia Energy Market Profile: Measuring the Costs and Benefits of Energy Transitions
- Give a definition and an explanation of how it is produced
- Provide three examples of how the source is used (globally)
- Detail at least three advantages and three disadvantages of using the source
- Assess the potential for developing that source of energy here in BC (consider cost of production and distribution)
- Choose the best option out of the ones they listed to develop here in BC (think cost to make and transmit and return on investment)

D Block Legal Studies -After today there is ONE (1) class remaining in the learning commons to complete your civil litigator project. First, we'll start in the class, looking at family law and today our focus is on the matrimonial home along with the division of assets and liabilities.
The guiding principle for division of assets and liabilities is the “equal division rule” FAMILY LAW ACT [SBC 2011] CHAPTER 25.s.81 (Equal entitlement and responsibility) There should be an equal share of "family property" distributed between spouses at the end of a relationship. The general rule is that family property and family debts are divided 50/50 upon separation. If an equal division of family property and debts causes significant unfairness, judges can provide one spouse with a larger share of the family property. The contributions of both spouses – even if one does not earn and income and is a stay at home parent – are treated with equal importance. An equalization payment is the difference between the net value of assets between former spouses.
You may seek an unequal division of assets – connected to the new changes in the BC Family Relations Act (2011). If you bring into a marriage: a financial gift or inheritance; property acquired before or after the relationship; damage awards and insurance proceeds with some exceptions; and or some kinds of trust property…the initial amount is not divisible - only the increase in the value of the asset during the relationship is divisible. Whether an asset was ordinarily used for a family purpose will not be relevant in deciding if it is family property. The property division scheme applies to all married spouses, as well as to unmarried spouses who have lived in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years.
Liabilities (debt) are also equally divided. The starting point is that all debts incurred by either spouse during the relationship are to be equally divided (the date is either the beginning of the cohabitation period or the date of marriage). Family debts include mortgages; loans from family members; bank lines of credit or overdrafts; credit cards; income tax; and repair costs. It does not matter whose name the debt is in, both spouses are equally responsible for family debt, whether they are married or in a common-law relationship.
The Matrimonial home is where both spouses lived together while they were married. It does not matter whose name is on the legal papers each spouse has an equal right to the matrimonial home.
There is a time limit to apply for court order: If you were married, you must apply to divide property within two years after you get an order for divorce. If you were living in a marriage-like relationship for at least two years, you must apply within two years of the date you separated. For more check out:
