On the day of Confederation (July 1, 1867) two provinces were created. Pursuant to section 6 of the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act) the pre-Confederation Province of Canada was severed into the Province of Ontario and the Province of Québec. The Province of Manitoba was created on July 15, 1870. The Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created on September 1, 1905. All other provinces joined as colonies.
Canada's four original provinces at the time of Confederation (July 1, 1867) were: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia was one of the original four provinces to join Canada in 1867.
The pre-Confederation province of Canada, and the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, existed as separate British colonies immediately prior to Confederation. Confederation occurred on July 1, 1867. By the British North America Act, those provinces were joined together on that date to form a new country under the name of Canada. Canada was then divided into four provinces: Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The boundaries of the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia remained as they had been immediately prior to Confederation. The territory of the former provinces of Upper Canada and Lower Canada, which had been joined together as the Province of Canada in 1841 by the Act of Union, became the provinces of Ontario and Québec respectively.
Nova Scotia was one of the original four provinces when Canada came into being on July 1, 1867.
Ontario did not exist as a separate entity prior to Confederation. Three colonies joined together to create Canada. They were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada. Upon Confederation (July 1, 1867) the Province of Canada was severed into the Provinces of Québec and Ontario.
Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick entered Confederation on the same date, July 1st, 1867. That is why Canada Day is celebrated on July 1st every year.
Canada's confederation began on July 1, 1867 (this is why July 1 is Canada Day). On this day, three British colonies were formed into four Canadian provinces. There was Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Canada became a country on July 1, 1867, by means of the British North America Act. Canada was the first country to be created by legislation. The British North America Act united three provinces: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada (which had been created by the Act of Union, 1840). Upon Confederation, the pre-Confederation Province of Canada was severed into the provinces of Ontario and Québec.
