Small price to pay – opinion piece by Bruce MacDougall, FPEIM President

March 27, 2018

Municipalities only make up 30 percent of the area of Prince Edward Island.  In other provinces, unincorporated areas tend to be vast sparsely inhabited or uninhabited areas.  There aren’t any areas in PEI that fit that description, but resistance to change has left us with a system that was outdated decades ago.

Rural areas across the province are faced with a declining and aging population.  We can ignore those realities, or we can face them and plan for a better future.  I don’t believe in change for the sake of change, but when the status quo isn’t working it’s time to consider other options.  Read the full opinion piece.

Mission Statement

• to promote and foster effective, efficient, and accountable municipal government in Prince Edward Island;
• to present, as a strong and unified voice, the interests of its member municipalities;
• to guide and assist member municipalities in enhancing their overall operation and decision-making processes; and
• to guide and improve provincial and federal legislation, programs, and policies that reflect and impact upon municipal interests.
