1905 - Saskatchewan and Alberta become provinces.

In 1905, Saskatchewan and Alberta became the 8th and 9th provinces to join the Canadian Confederation.

This was a major milestone in the history of Canada, as it marked the beginning of a period of significant growth and development.

Prior to becoming provinces, both Saskatchewan and Alberta were part of the Northwest Territories.

Saskatchewan became a province on September 1, 1905 and Alberta followed suit a few weeks later on September 1, 1905.

Saskatchewan and Alberta were the first two provinces to join the Canadian Confederation since British Columbia in 1871.

Saskatchewan was the first province to be created out of the Northwest Territories, while Alberta was created out of the remainder of the North-West Territories.

The creation of Saskatchewan and Alberta brought the total number of provinces in Canada to nine.
