The Legislative Council of the Province of Canada was the upper house for the Province of Canada, which consisted of the former provinces of Lower Canada, then known as Canada East and later the province of Quebec, and Upper Canada, then known as Canada West and later the province of Ontario. It was created by The Union Act of 1840. The first session of parliament began in Kingston in Canada West in 1841. It succeeded the Legislative Council of Lower Canada and Legislative Council of Upper Canada The 24 members of the Legislative Council were originally appointed. In 1856, a bill was passed to replace the appointed members by election. Members were to be elected from 24 divisions in each of Canada East and Canada West. 12 members were elected every two years from 1856 to 1862. The British North America Act of 1867 divided the Province of Canada into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, each with representation in the Senate of Canada. As provinces, Ontario has had no Legislative Council and Quebec had its own Legislative Council until 1968. [edit] List of Members of the Legislative Council
