Join Us in 2014
     2014 marks the 150th anniversary of the 1864 Charlottetown Conference which paved the way to Canadian Confederation.  Year-long, province-wide celebrations will ensure that Prince Edward Island will be buzzing with activity and alive with Canadian pride throughout 2014. 
     When the Fathers of Confederation met in Prince Edward Island in 1864 they decided to form a country – our country, Canada.  Though there were formal meetings and long discussions, they forged a bond over dinners, dancing, music, and the beautiful sights of PEI.  In 2014, forge your own bond with PEI as you mix rich history with generous hospitality. 
     Take in the sights and sounds of a province in the full swing of celebration.  With more than 150 festivals, events & activities taking place throughout the year, PEI 2014 has something for everyone!   
     Where the past meets the present and our history walks hand in hand with today’s celebration, your experience in PEI will be as memorable as it was for the Fathers of Confederation in 1864.
     Join us in 2014 for a celebration 150 years in the making!
