Summary
Bill 43 from Alberta's very first legislative session in 1906 was a private bill that legally incorporated a company called the Western Oil and Coal Consolidated. In early Canadian history, companies often needed a specific act of the legislature to become legally recognized corporations, rather than simply registering under a general companies law. This bill gave that company its legal existence and the right to operate as a corporation in the new province of Alberta. The bill was introduced by a member named Marcellus during the first session of the first Alberta Legislature, shortly after Alberta became a province in 1905. The full text of the bill is no longer available online, so the specific powers, structure, and rules granted to the company cannot be reviewed in detail. Based on its name, the company was likely involved in oil and coal resource extraction, industries that were already emerging in Alberta at the time.
