Alberta Act

The Alberta Act (), effective September 1, 1905, was the act of the Parliament of Canada that created 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 not win control of these resources until the passage of the "Natural Resources Acts" in 1930.
The "Alberta Act" defined the boundaries for the electoral districts of the first Alberta general election in 1905.
The "Alberta Act" is part of the "Constitution of Canada".
