Summary
Bill 64 from Alberta's first legislative session in 1906 was introduced to make changes to a North-West Territories game protection ordinance from 1903. The original ordinance set rules around hunting and the protection of wild animals in what was then the North-West Territories, which became the province of Alberta in 1905. Because Alberta had just become a province, its new legislature needed to update or adapt inherited territorial laws to fit provincial governance. This bill was part of that early law-making process, adjusting the existing game protection rules to suit Alberta's needs as a new province. The full text of the bill is not available online, so the specific changes made cannot be detailed. The bill was sponsored by Finlay and introduced during the very first session of Alberta's Legislative Assembly, reflecting the new province's effort to establish its own legal framework by building on existing territorial legislation.
