Welcome to Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island, Canadas smallest province, offers so much to the traveller. Fine dining and night life, live entertainment and wonderful beaches and trails.
The island is steeped in history from the forming of confederation in 1864 and the literary works of LM Mongtomery with the world reknowned "Anne of Green Gables".
Selected activities
Harbourfront Theatre in Summerside
The Harbourfront Jubilee Theatre opened its doors in 1996, the result of more than a decade of tireless effort on the part of a group of Summerside citizens with a vision to create a state of the art, multi purpose performing arts facility in Prince County. The Jubilee, along with the Eptek Art & Culture Centre and the PEI Sports Hall of Fame, is housed in The Wyatt Centre, aptly named after one of the facility's major contributors, Dr. Wanda Wyatt.
The Jubilee is owned by the Regional Cultural Events Centre, a registered non-profit organization managed by a board of directors, general manager, and director of operations, and boasts a friendly, knowledgeable, professional staff and a dedicated core of over 40 volunteers. Its mandate is to provide a continuous live entertainment service to the Island community and its visitors, featuring both local and touring productions, while being the driving force within the community to encourage and nurture the development and appreciation of the performing arts. The facility is ideally suited to a myriad of uses, including plays, concerts, opera, ballet, comedy & magic shows, conferences, seminars, receptions, business mixers, trade shows and public forums. Beautifully appointed and state of the art equipped, the Jubilee is the best of both worlds – large enough to host renowned touring acts, yet small enough so that every one if its 527 seats captures a uniquely intimate performer/audience experience.
Orwell Corner Historic Village in Vernon River
At the heart of Prince Edward Island is its agricultural heritage. The special magic of Orwell Corner allows visitors to experience the mood, flavour, charm and activities of a small agricultural crossroads community of the 1890s. While at Orwell Corner you can visit the blacksmith's shop, general store, house and barns, stroll through the gardens or have a picnic outside the old schoolhouse. Orwell Corner, located east of Charlottetown in Orwell, Queen's County, is famous for its Wednesday night ceilidhs in the community hall and hosts many exciting special events throughout the season.
Links at Crowbush Cove in Morell
Recognized by Golf Digest as Canada's Best New Course in 1994. Overlooking the north shore dunes of PEI, Crowbush continues to enthrall all those that take the challenge to conquer one of North Americas very best. How can it get better than a Golf Digest five star rating? Undulating fairways, water holes with a wisp of wind, pot bunkers and challenging greens all come together to provide you with an experience not to be forgotten. Truly an unbelievable combination of nature and imagination. Of all the courses that are considered a "must play", Crowbush is certainly one of them. If you can tame the 6,903 yards at the Links, you should be able to play well anywhere.
