Summary
Bill 41 was introduced during Alberta's very first legislative session in 1906, shortly after Alberta became a province. Its purpose was to legally incorporate a private company called the Edmonton and Athabasca Development Company, giving it official status as a business entity under provincial law. In the early 1900s, it was common practice for companies to seek incorporation through a specific act of the legislature rather than through a general registration process. This gave the company legal rights such as the ability to own property, sign contracts, and conduct business. The Edmonton and Athabasca region was seen as an area of significant economic potential at the time, particularly for resource development and transportation. The full text of this bill is no longer available online, so the specific powers, structure, or purposes granted to the company cannot be confirmed from the surviving record. What is known is that it was introduced by a member named Bredin and was part of a wave of private incorporation bills passed in Alberta's founding legislative session.
