Alberta Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alberta Act, effective September 1, 1905, was an act of the Parliament of Canada to establish and provide for the government of the province of Alberta. The act is similar in nature to The Saskatchewan Act, which established the province of Saskatchewan at the same time. Like the Saskatchewan Act, the Alberta Act was controversial because (sec 21) it allowed the Government of Canada to maintain control of all of Alberta's natural resources and public lands. Alberta did win win control of these resources until 1930.
The Act is still considered part of the Constitution of Canada.
