Info about Prince Edward Island
The seventh province to join Confederation in 1873, Prince Edward Island (PEI) has a most fitting motto: parva sub ingenti (the small under the protection of the great). Situated on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and separated from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick by the Northumberland Strait, PEI's land area is just over 5,600 square kilometres - representing 0.1 per cent of Canada's total mass.
While PEI has a small population, the province is the most densely populated province or territory, with almost 25 people per square kilometre. As such, the notion of community in Canada is nowhere better defined than on the island, which has become one of Canada's most popular tourist destinations.
Beyond its seemingly endless beaches with their world-famous red-coloured sand, PEI's chief drawing card for visitors has for decades been a fictional character. Anne of Green Gables, given life in 1908 in the first novel by PEI's most famous writer, Lucy Maud Montgomery, has become one of the island province's most valuable resources. Every summer, tourists from around the world flock to PEI to retrace the steps taken by Anne Shirley in the many stories Montgomery penned about her.
The nearly 13-kilometre Confederation Bridge, joining PEI to New Brunswick, opened in 1997 and is the world's longest bridge over ice-covered waters. The bridge has increased the flow of visitors to the island from Canada's mainland, formerly served by ferry or air only.
Along with tourism, agriculture (particularly potatoes) is a major contributor to the province's economy.
