Where and when was the first representative assembly in Canada?

  1. Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1758

  2. Quebec City in 1763

  3. Toronto in 1791

  4. Montreal in 1775

The correct answer is: Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1758

The first representative assembly in Canada was held in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1758. This was during the time of British rule and the assembly was called the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. It was the first elected legislative body in what is now Canada. The other options are incorrect because Quebec City did not hold its first representative assembly until 1792, Toronto never held a first representative assembly, and Montreal did not hold its first assembly until 1792 which is later than Halifax. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
