PEI is considered “the birthplace of Canada” since the “Charlottetown conference”, which led to the country’s formation in 1864.  PEI, the island province, is renowned not only for its lush farmland and beautiful coasts, but it is also home to a burgeoning economy centred on agriculture, tourism, and fishing.
