Housing, agricultural preservation, climate change, coastal erosion—PEI's challenges are complex, but Islanders are resourceful. Islanders have the creativity and lived experience to chart a sustainable path forward to shape the future of land use in PEI.
What kind of future do Islanders want and how should land be protected, planned and used to get us there?
As PEI continues to grow and change, we must think carefully about how land will support our way of life, not just today, but decades from now. With about 88% of the Island privately owned, the choices we make together will shape our environmental health, rural identity, and economic opportunities.
Land use is about more than zoning, its about quality of life, community identity and how we choose to grow as an Island.
