Summary
This is one of the earliest bills passed by the newly formed Alberta Legislature in 1906, during its very first session after Alberta became a province in 1905. It amended an existing law from the North-West Territories era (1898) that dealt with preventing prairie and forest fires across the region. Because Alberta had just become a province, it needed to update or adapt laws it inherited from the North-West Territories to fit its new provincial status and circumstances. This bill was part of that transition process, modifying fire prevention rules that applied to the prairies and forests of what was now the Province of Alberta. The full text of the bill is not available online, so the specific changes it made to the original 1898 ordinance cannot be detailed. It was sponsored by a member named Finlay and was introduced during the first legislative session of the new province.
