Cradled on the waves, on the east coast of Canada
Anyone who has lived or spent time on this beautiful island will tell you there’s something truly special about PEI. Is it the salty sea air? The rich red soil? The sparkling blue waters? The ancient forests? The vibrant fishing villages? Or is it simply the authentically friendly people?
Prince Edward Island is quiet, peaceful, and safe with the lowest crime rate in the country. With a population of only 155,000 or so, on a tiny crescent-shaped piece of land in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it’s hard to believe so much can happen here. But, it does. Our public schools are excellent, and we care about our communities and our neighbours. In times of need, we help each other—it’s the island way.
In Prince Edward Island, we value family, but our definition of family is broad. Here, family expands beyond the people who share your name. We’re all family, bonded through friendship and community.
