How old is New Brunswick?
The area we now call New Brunswick was originally a part of the British colony of Nova Scotia (as was Prince Edward Island). On August 16, 1784, Britain separated New Brunswick from Nova Scotia and created it as a separate colony. New Brunswick is now one of Canada's provinces, the only officially bilingual one. It was one of the colonies that united in 1867 to form Canada through what we call 'Confederation.'
Which colonies joined the federation?
The first 4 were Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Canada purchased Ruperts Land and Northwest Territories. From that land they created Manitoba. They were not a colony before joining. British Columbia was a colony, they joined next. PEI was also a colony. The Yukon, Saskatchewan, and Alberta were not British colonies unlike Newfoundland. Nunavat was not a colony other than a Canadian colony. So the answer is Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, British Columbia, PEI and Newfoundland.
When did Canada became a British colony?
At the time immediately prior to Confederation, there were six (or perhaps seven) British colonies in what is now Canada.They were Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, the pre-Confederation Province of Canada (i.e.,the former colonies of Upper Canada and Lower Canada), and British Columbia.There was also the "proprietary" colony owned and governed by the Hudson's Bay Company, known as Rupert's Land.Each colony came into being at different times and in different ways. Shortly before Confederation, British Columbia and Vancouver Island were separate colonies. At one time, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island were one colony. At another time, Cape Breton Island, which is now part of Nova Scotia, was a separate colony.Canada itself was never a colony as such, unless the reference is being made about the pre-Confederation Province of Canada.
