Prince Edward Island (PEI) became the seventh province, but only three provinces have actually 'joined' Confederation. The British Parliament created Canada by the British North America (BNA) Act. The BNA Act created two provinces out of the pre-Confederation Province of Canada (Ontario and Quebec) and united them with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia as the four original provinces. None of the original four actually 'joined,' so none can claim to be 'first.' The BNA Act provided for the Parliament of Canada to admit British colonies as provinces in Confederation, and to create provinces out of the North West Territories. The colonies admitted as provinces were British Columbia (1871), PEI (1873) and Newfoundland (1949). The Parliament of Canada created Manitoba (1870), as well as Saskatchewan and Alberta (both 1905).
