Question: 1 / 1030

Where and when was the first representative assembly in Canada?

Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1758

The first representative assembly in Canada took place in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1758. This assembly, known as the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, was the first elected legislature in what is now Canada. While the other options may have had assemblies after Nova Scotia's, they were not technically the "first" in Canada. Additionally, Prince Edward Island was not even its own colony until 1769 and Upper Canada did not become a separate entity until 1791. Thus, the correct answer is A.
