It is not clear, although the last commonly known public execution took place on 1869 December 7, the execution of Nicholas Melady.

Although public execution was legally supposed to end in the 1870's, some continued on beyond that point, usually taking place in prisons where the executions could be visible to people outside of the prison or people who had been invited to see the execution.

The last people executed by the Justice System in Canada were executed on 1962 December 11. Capital Punishment was officially banned on 1976 July 14.
