| General Description : | In the spring of 1870, British Columbia sent a delegation of three men to negotiate union with Canada; they were Helmcken, J. W. Trutch, and R. W. W. Carrall. Negotiations began at Ottawa on June 7, 1870. The delegates found their Canadian counterparts accommodating, and willing to grant major concessions. The terms were passed in both the House of Commons and the Senate without amendment, and received the Royal Assent on May 16, 1871. |
