The Canadian provinces entered confederation on July 1, 1867, when the British North America Act united the Province of Canada (which was divided into Ontario and Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into the Dominion of Canada. Over the following years, additional provinces and territories joined, with Manitoba, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island being among the next to enter. The confederation process continued until all current provinces and territories were included, with the last province, Newfoundland and Labrador, joining in 1949.
