provincial governments
State-level ruling bodies
Provincial governments are the administrative bodies governing provinces—subnational political units in countries like Canada, Argentina, and South Africa.
In Canada especially, provincial governments hold significant powers over healthcare, education, and natural resources: The provincial government announced new funding for schools.
The term distinguishes these from federal and municipal levels of government.
