Category:Provinces and territories of Canada

This is the category for all provinces and territories of Canada. There are ten provinces and three territories.

The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that provinces are jurisdictions that receive their power and authority directly from the Constitution Act, 1867, whereas territories derive their mandates and powers from the federal government.
