Asked by Wiki User

Well, there isn't really a legal age. Most all parents don't let their kids babysit until they're 12, so if you're 11 or younger, watch out! You may be in for a big surprise. Some people even get mad at you and look down on you if you try to babysit before you're 12. I would be careful, but

What were the factors that made the colonial regions different from one another?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The biggest difference was the location of the 3 sections of the colonies. The northern colonies lived differently than the middle and the most difference was in the southern plantations/colonies. That difference still exists today. The middle and northern colonies were more alike than the southern colonies were with the other two. The lifestyle of southern colonies was agrarian and the use of slaves set them apart. While northern and middle colonies had a mixture of cash crops, sailing and shipping industry, with industry of things like making glass.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Five largest Cities in Alberta in order:

Calgary: 1,065,455 (2009)

Edmonton: 783,439 (2009)

Red Deer: 89,891 (2009)

Lethbridge: 86,659(2010)

Fort Mcmurray 76,797(2010) plus the shadow population (not inluded) 27,541

St. Albert just misses the list with (2010) people

Even though Fort McMurray boasts 76,797(2010) people, it isn't legally a city. It isn't even a town. It is administered by the County of Wood Buffalo. Which has a total population of 104,338.

Same situation as Sherwood Park, which with 62,786 people thought to be a city, is also administered by a County seat.(Rounded Up)

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Other towns that could have been selected include Calgary, Lethbridge and Lac La Biche. I'm not sure there were any other serious considerations because Edmonton had closer ties to Britain and Eastern Canada.
