Although PEI is Canada’s smallest province, it lays claim to many significant achievements. Known as the “Birthplace of Canada” as a result of the Charlottetown Conference in 1864 that laid the foundation for the eventual Confederation, PEI was the first province to provide high-speed internet service to every one of its residents, schools and public libraries. It is the largest supplier of seed potatoes in North America. Its connection to the mainland, The Confederation Bridge, is the world’s longest multi-span bridge over ice-covered waters. PEI is also home to the world’s largest mussel aquaculture operations and to Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of perhaps the longest running best-seller of all time, Anne of Green Gables. Not too bad for an island of only 139,000 people. Come visit PEI for world-class golf courses, miles of dune-ringed deserted beaches, incredible natural beauty, world-famous lobster suppers, hiking, biking and some of the warmest smiles you’ll ever see. |
