The Charlottetown Conference was a meeting between the maritime colonies in Atlantic Canada with what was then known as the United Province of Canada from 1-9 September 1864. The meeting discussed and finalised the plan to create a Confederation out of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. This Confederation, enacted in 1867, became the Dominion of Canada.

∙ 13y agoThe Charlottetown conference was important because it was planned only for the Maritime colonies except Newfoundland because they were thought to have no interest in a union. (Sorry, that's all I know... feel free to add more)

∙ 10y agoOriginally the 1864 conference was to consider confederation of the the Maritime Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island (and, belatedly Newfoundland). The plan drew the attention of those in Quebec and Ontario (then the Province of Canada) and they were also present at the conference, after which the Maritime-only plan was dropped. The Charlottetown conference was followed by another in Quebec later that year, and eventually the London Conference of 1867 and the British North American Act.
