2. What's his role in our government?
3. Who was the first in his position after Confederation?

The Assembly of Colonies

For the better part of the past two weeks we've been working on our upcoming reenactment of the Charlottetown and Quebec conferences. There might be less dancing and our gathering will definitely alcohol-free (unlike when the Fathers of Confederation got together), but other than that, we'll be doing our best to be as authentic as possible.

Our Assembly is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, November 12. For further details, please check the History tab above.
