Which province was the last to join Canada as a province?

Newfoundland and Labrador was the last province to join Canada, officially becoming a part of the Confederation on March 31, 1949. This event marked a significant moment in Canadian history, as it was the first time since Canada was founded in 1867 that a new province was added to the country. The decision to join Confederation was influenced by various factors, including economic considerations, the impact of World War II, and a desire for increased political stability and support.

The other provinces, such as British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, had joined Canada earlier in its history, with British Columbia entering the Confederation in 1871, Alberta and Saskatchewan both joining in 1905. Thus, Newfoundland and Labrador holds the distinction of being the last province to add to Canada's growing federation.
