1888 Northwest Territories General Election
The 1888 North-West Territories general election was the first general election in the history of the North-West Territories, Canada. Elections were held in various districts between 20 June and 30 June 1888. This was the only general election, where the writs were issued to return on various days.

This created a patchwork of represented and unrepresented areas across the sprawling and sparse territory. Twenty-two members were elected in this election. Robert Brett was appointed government leader by Lieutenant Governor Joseph Royal. His official title was Chairman of the Lt. Governor's Advisory Council. Three judges were appointed to the legislative assembly to provide legal advice, but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1898 Northwest Territories General Election
The 1898 North-West Territories general election took place on 4 November 1898. This was the fourth general election in the history of the North-West Territories, Canada. It was held to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the North-West Territories. Frederick W. A. G. Haultain was still the first premier of the North-West Territories (NWT). That title was given by legislation passed in 1897. He was the last premier of the NWT until 1980. There were three big issues in this election, the first being acquiring provincial rights and how to divide the NWT into provinces. The second issue was the transfer of education from the federal to the territorial level. This was Haultain's personal project. Unfortunately for the NWT, that power was not turned over until 1970. The third issue was the territory's deficit budget. The territory was facing pressure from a rapidly increasing population in all parts of the territory. Earlier in 1898 the territorial government tried to ex ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The appointed government made French an official language in Section 11 of the ''North-West Territories Act of 1877'' tha ...
