History

The Genetic and ht archeological evidence reveal, that there was human existence, nearly 26,000 years ago in the Yukon, one of the smallest territories of Canada. Likewise human settlement existed some 9500 years before in Southern portion of Ontario. Agriculture, permanent settlement, trading networks, and complex societal hierarchies formed the chief characteristics of the Canadian Aboriginal societies.

By the late 15th century, the populations of Abrongies were estimated around 2 million peoples. The European colonization commenced, with Norsemen briefly established at Canadian Aboriginal societies, located at the northern most tips of the Newfoundland Island about 1000. No additional discovery was further reported, until the year 1947, whilst, the seafarer from Italy, Jon Cabot discovered for England, the Atlantic coast of Canada
Through the royal privilege of the Queen Elizabeth, the British explorer, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, declared the St. John’s, England as the initial North American English colony.

The primary European permanent settlement was established by Samuel de Champlain, the French explorers at Port Royal and Quebec at 1605 and 1608 respectively.

During the early part of 1610, the British created further colonies, at ferry land, cupid, Newfoundland. During the period between 1689 and 1763, a sequence of four wars broke out. Through the Treaty of Utrecht, in the year 1713, the Nova Scotia mainland came beneath the British rule. Likewise, subsequent to the seven years war, through the treaty of Paris in the year 1763, Canada and major portion of New France was yielded to Britain.
The treaty of Paris in the 1783, acknowledged the American Independence and the territories south of the great Lakes were given to the United States. The constitutional act of 1791 segregated the province into French speaking Lower Canada, (later known as Quebec) and the English speaking Upper Canada (later known as Ontario), conceding each its individual elected legislative assembly.
