Summary
Bill 68 from Alberta's first legislative session in 1906 was introduced to amend an existing public health law that had been created when Alberta was still part of the North-West Territories. When Alberta became a province in 1905, it inherited the laws of the North-West Territories, including Chapter 4 of the 1902 Ordinances respecting Public Health. This bill updated or modified that inherited law to suit the needs of the new province. The full text of the bill is not available online, so the specific changes it made to the public health ordinance cannot be detailed. Based on the context of the time, such amendments typically dealt with matters like disease control, sanitation standards, or the administration of public health authorities. The bill was sponsored by Finlay, a member of the first Alberta Legislature under Premier Rutherford's government. This bill is part of a broader effort by Alberta's first legislature in 1906 to review, adapt, and update the body of laws inherited from the North-West Territories to reflect Alberta's new status as a Canadian province.
