In what year did Prince Edward Island join Canada?

1867
1871
1873
1880

The correct answer is: 1873

Prince Edward Island officially joined Canada in 1873. This occurred five years after Canada's confederation in 1867. Option A, 1867, is the year that three British colonies in North America (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada) were united to form the Dominion of Canada, but Prince Edward Island did not join at this time. Option B, 1871, is the year that British Columbia joined Canada, but Prince Edward Island did not join until two years later. Option D, 1880, is the year that Manitoba joined Canada, but Prince Edward Island had already been a part of Canada for seven years at this point. Therefore, the correct answer is C, 1873, as this is the year that Prince Edward Island officially joined Canada.
