It’s easy to think P.E.I. is too small and has nothing to do, but as you can see, that simply isn’t true. If you decide to attend an event, just remember to respect the social distancing guidelines set in place by our Health Officials. Other than that, get psyched! Bring out your fancy fall shoes, your fave scarf, ad seize the shorter days ahead!
