2. Livestock (Dairy, cattle and poultry) 
3. Seafood (salmon, groundfish, shellfish, geoducks, and herring)]]> 2022-09-14 20:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyi101310/q1wzeth3ss0l8d5t/wish/2297066169 esmem100676 https://padlet.com/gabbyi101310/q1wzeth3ss0l8d5t/wish/2297081984 British Columbia uses the Canadian dollar as their form of currency. The bill sizes are 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5. This is a very important part of Canada. By working jobs, varying on difficulty, you are able to earn certain amounts of money. Without this system nobody would work jobs that help us keep a sustainable environment, for example teachers, healthcare workers, farmers, and even people who work the till in grocery stores.
