Originally called "Bytown," and located where the Ottawa River is joined by the Ridea and the Gatineau rivers, the city has many stone buildings dating back before confederation (1867).

North Bay, on the eastern end of beautiful Lake Nipissing, was important to early French fur traders, is also where the Trans-Canada Highway splits. The main route takes you west through Sudbury, which is the nickel capital of the world, because of its fortunate location at an ancient meteor crater.

Mining M ining in Newfoundland before Confederation was carried on mainly in Bucans, in the interior and on Bell Island. At Bell Island, the iron ore deposits were among the largest in the world. N ewfoundlanders were upset that before the war Britain recycled her ore as being the wrong type for British blast furnaces. Meanwhile along with Canada, Germany became Newfoundland’s best customer. The war ended trade with Germany and later German submarines turned up off Bell Island to sink four ore ships under the noses of the Canadian Navy. At the end of the war Bell Island’s ore was suddenly found to be suitable for the British blast furnaces. Main Background Gains Pulp and Paper Industry ... Canada's View

Information about Canada PRESENTS Confederation and Canada's Government CONFEDERATION OF CANADA Canada became The Dominion of Canada on July 1st, 1867. Each year July 1st is a national holiday called Canada Day . Before 1982 Canada Day had been known as Dominion Day, First of July or Confederation Day. Canada Day celebrates the events that occurred on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act created the Canadian federal government. The BNA Act proclaimed "one Dominion under the name of Canada," hence the original title of the holiday, "Dominion Day." Dominion Day was officially renamed "Canada Day" by an Act of Parliament on October 27, 1982. This change reflected the policy of successive governments to downplay Canada's colonial origins. Canada's national celebration is always observed on July 1, unless that date falls on a Sunday, in which case it is observed the following day. The Capital of Canada is Ottawa, Ontario . It was named as the national capital on December 31, 1857 by Queen Victoria. PROCLAMATIONS, ACTS, STATUTES and ORDERS IN COUNCIL

Selected Bibliography From 1791 to 1867 many significant changes occurred in British North America. The region became industrialized, the population grew and important social institutions were developed. The British colonies also became increasingly democratic and independent. In 1867 the entire British North America was united to form the Dominion of Canada. The Canada Act of 1791 The act established Upper and Lower Canada, new property laws and an elective council. Loyalists Arriving in Upper Canada Many people immigrated to Upper Canada from 1791. During and after the American Revolution many Natives, Americans, Loyalists and black slaves migrated to British Canada. These immigrants were dissatisfied with the legal system existing in the colony which was mainly based on the French majority (Seigniorial system and the Catholic Church while many of the new migrants were Protestant and accustomed to Townships land tenure). In order to meet the demands of the new immigrants and provide them land, Britain implemented the Canada Act of 1791 . The act made three significant changes to British Canada: The colonial borders were re-established;

March 31, 1999 (Executive Council) The following statement was issued today by Premier Brian Tobin. It was also read in the House of Assembly: Fifty years ago, at 11:59 on March 31, 1949, Newfoundland and Labrador became Canada's 10th province. The destinies of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador had long been linked before our official joining through Confederation. Aboriginal people had left their footprints across the great expanses of the northern half of the continent. Migrants had braved ferocious seas to cross the Atlantic and wrest a living from the wilderness. Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador fought together on the battlefields of Europe, and forged even stronger ties through the defence of the North Atlantic in World War II. In 1949, we were not strangers. Newfoundland and Labrador and Canada were friends and allies. Through the exercise of democratic rights and the negotiations of two equal nations, both Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador agreed that, together, we could build a better country and a better future for all our people. Fifty years ago, on March 31, 1949, Newfoundland and Labrador entered Confederation as a full and equal partner with the other provinces. In the words of the Newfoundland novelist Margaret Duley, "Everywhere it was change, startling change. Newfoundland would never be the same again."

Site Map Home Members Bills ... About the Assembly Bill 223 2002 An Act to proclaim Ontario Heritage Day and to amend other Acts to include Ontario Heritage Day as a holiday Preamble As a name for the region west of the Ottawa River and north of the Great Lakes, "Ontario" only dates from the Canadian Confederation of 1867. Before then, the place was known as Canada West, and before 1841, Upper Canada. Before 1791, it was called "the upper parts of the Province of Quebec", and before 1763, it was simply "le pays d'en haut" - the upper country of New France. Ontario is bounded to the South by the freshwater inland seas of the Great Lakes and to the North by the salt water of Hudson Bay. To the East, the Ottawa River serves as Ontario's boundary, and to the West, the boundary is Lake of the Woods. In between are almost literally countless small lakes and rivers. All told, water accounts for just fewer than 12 per cent of Ontario's total geographic area. In modern Ontario, virtually all the major highways and rail transportation corridors follow the historic waterways of a more romantic age. The total area of the modern Ontario territory is somewhat more than one million square kilometres. This makes it the second largest province in Canada (after Quebec, with British Columbia a close third). It also makes it considerably larger than either California or Texas in the United States, or France and the United Kingdom combined.

National Associations National Leagues Committees Hall of Fame ... Confederation Administration Canada defeat Libya 4:2 in international friendly in Tripoli - Canada scored two goals in each half and defeated Libya 4:2 Wednesday in an international friendly in front of 45,000 spectators at National Stadium in Tripoli. The match continues Canada’s initial stages of preparation to the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup, to be played from 12-27 July in the USA. For Canada, it was the first time in more than 10 years they had scored four goals, the last time coming 93 games ago on 15 November 1992 v Bermuda. The match against Libya was a little more daunting, coming before a sellout crowd and a side featuring Al-Saadi Gadhafi, son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Kevin McKenna opened the visitors’ account in the 18th minute as the ball deflected into his path and the Heart of Midlothian-based player went in alone on goal before slotting home. Tark al Taieb equalized for Libya, converting a penalty nine minutes later, but Canada regained the lead before the interval as Jim Brennan found the back of the net from 20 yards out to make it 2:1. Two minutes into the second half the Maple Leafs made it 3:1 as a Brennan pass found Paul Stalteri, who volleyed home. Al Taieb again brought his team to within a goal when he beat Canada substitute ‘keeper Pat Onstad with his second penalty of the evening.

The history of Indian Affairs By Kenneth Williams Windspeaker Staff Writer OTTAWA The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, created in 1966, is a highly decentralized organization which responds to the varying needs of a culturally, economically and geographically diverse clientele. The department is responsible for Indian and Inuit affairs and the residents of the Yukon and Northwest Territories and their resources. It also fulfills the lawful obligations of the federal government to Aboriginal peoples as outlines in treaties, the Indian Act and other legislation. In 1755, the British Crown established DIAND's forerunner, the British Indian Department, and, in 1860, the responsibility for Indian affairs was transferred from the government of Great Britain to the Province of Canada. At the time of Confederation, the new federal government was given legislative authority over "Indians and lands reserved for the Indians" through the Constitution Act, 1867. The federal parliament was granted jurisdictional authority over the Northwest Territories in 1870. The department's broad mandate for the North was derived from numerous statutes, in particular, the Northwest Territories Act and the Yukon Act. The federal government's legislative responsibilities for Indians and Inuit derive from section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867. In 1876, the Indian Act, which remains the major expression of federal jurisdiction in this area, was passed and a series of treaties were concluded between Canada and the various Indian bands across the country. In 1939, federal jurisdiction for Indian peoples was interpreted by the courts to apply to the Inuit.
