Biographical history

By 1863 the colony of British Columbia had a government structure that consisted of an Executive Council and a Legislative Assembly

In 1866, the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia were united and the power and authority of the Executive and Legislative Councils of the Colony of British Columbia was extended to include Vancouver Island. When British Columbia joined Confederation as a province of the Dominion of Canada in 1871 the government structure continued to be based on the system of government in place in the colony, including the bicameral legislature
