Women in Canadian provincial and territorial legislatures

This is a list of women who are currently members of the provincial and territorial Legislative Assemblies in Canada.

Rankings

To date, no provincial or territorial legislative assembly has ever achieved gender parity between women and men. Women currently represent 28.3 per cent (212 out of 749) of all provincial and territorial legislators across Canada as a whole. As of May 2015, the provinces of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia currently have a female Premier.

In Alberta, although women represent just one third of the overall legislature, they represent 48 per cent of the governing Alberta New Democratic Party — the party's 26 female and 28 male MLAs represent the closest that a governing party caucus has ever come in Canadian history to attaining full gender balance between men and women.[1]
