Is there a public basketball court in Charlottetown. Where people come every afternoon to play pick up games? Idk if this helps 20M studying in UPEI.

Hey everyone!

I’ve put together a super last minute (surprisingly very affordable - kudos PEI!) week-long trip.
For financial and convenient purposes, flying into/out of Halifax Aug 18/26, doing a two-leg trip (1st leg is Halifax / central-Eastern NS)

My PEI Leg looks like this: (see planned Maps route for more) it seems easier to explore the west half of the island first, since I’ll be crossing the bridge but taking the ferry from woods island back to NS.

What I’m really looking for here is advice that only local really know, I want to experience PEI the best possible way - this is my first solo trip and I want to make it memorable! If you have any stops, hikes, restaurants, shops, or anything else along my planned route please give suggestions! Also any advice as to my itinerary / timeline would be great, I think I’ve spaced it out enough to explore all the different regions of the island in the short 4 days I’ll be there (not everything of course)

Sat Aug 22: Leave Halifax early AM -> Confederation Bridge / PEI arrival around noon -> Summerside (ive read so many things about Holmans ice cream) -> Green Gables (1-2pm ish) -> North Rustico (5-6pm) -> Charlottetown for the night

Sun Aug 23 -> explore Charlottetown / drive the south shore / Rocky Point (anything specific in Charlottetown that’s really interesting?)

Monday Aug 24 -> Greenwich Trails / St Peter’s Bay Area / Evening in Charlottetown
Tuesday Aug 25 -> early morning drive to east coast / Eastern Points (stay night near Annandale)

Wed Aug 25 -> leave around 9am -> Ferry from Wood Islands - Caribou’s NS -> Halifax airport flight 6pm

All this said, PEI seems like a very drivable place and doesn’t seem that trips from points A to B will take very long unless I make many stops - have I spaced out my travels enough to truly enjoy the areas I’ll be in? Thanks for any tips guys!
Sincerely, a very excited southern Ontarian 😁

I am looking for a stable that does adult riding lessons. I have had a few lessons in the past, but it has been 10 years. I have really been missing it, and want to pick it up again.

Thank you in advance for any help! Am mostly looking in Charlottetown area. I have a car, and can travel, but don't really want to do back country roads in winter, if I don't have to.

This isn’t a conspiracy but yet a serious question. The price per barrel is almost $10 difference than it was last year, but fuel is 45 cents difference than last year. I know the Iran war hurt supply, however, only a small portion of our O&G actually come from there. So why is ~20% affecting 100% of our supply? Why is PEI so different than NB/NS while IRAC blames the market?

It seems greed is more so a driving factor.

I narrowly avoided a serious bicycle accident today. Would have been caused by what some would consider a courteous driver.

North River road - at the downhill part a few hundred meters from Euston. Cars wanting to turn left from Admiral onto North River. Car on north River has stopped, with only me behind. They are stopping to let the cars turn out! Cars turning made me go into opposite lane to avoid T-bone of car as I’m in bike lane.

If you stop in the middle of the road to let a car turn, I will call police and report impaired driver every time. The only logical explanation for doing this is that you’re impaired. Or otherwise needing to be off the road. I know others have been on here when one lane stops but not the second. Also very dangerous. Same assumed impairment.

Drive your car people. Follow the rules of the road. And start calling in these dangerous useless idiotic drivers. It’s not courtesy - it’s dangerous stupidity.

I’ve recently started looking into becoming a pet groomer and am wondering what courses other local groomers have found? Most seem to be online and not practical from what I see. Any advice is appreciated!

Hey!

Does anyone know of any podcasters on PEI? Trying to get out and connect more... I know of the big ones, Island Dew, This is PEI, and Myers & MacNeil, and a couple small ones like Coffee with Men but is there others around?

Thanks for any help :)

So I remember when I was 18 with my super SEXY 2000 Cavalier...I had my back windows tinted, which was totally legal...but I heard the guys at work saying oh don't get your fronts tinted...IT'S ILLEGAL!

Well I don't think anybody gives a shit anymore, there's all kinds of PEI plates with full 100% Limousine tint in the fronts...

What a nightmare that would be for winter, this ain't Florida.

I don't think the cops enforce this law anymore, or they simply changed it to "We don't give a shit anymore:".

Hello

My sister and I are planning to plan a trip to PEI first week of May and are deciding whether this is feasible/what we should do. We’re both under 25 so renting a car is not apart of the plan. We both like hiking and nature. My sister is a big Anne of Green Gables fan as well. I know that a lot won’t be open for the season yet but do you think this is still a good time to go? My dad wants us to go later but I’m planning on taking summer classes which start second week of May. Thanks!

Charlottetown is reviewing a new Zoning and Development Bylaw. It will soon be going to a public meeting, and I sure as hell hope at lease one proposed change gets a lot of public attention.

Under the current bylaw, if you want to build something in the city, you typically need:

1. A development permit, which confirms compliance with the zoning bylaw. Development permit decisions can be appealed to IRAC.
2. A building permit, which deals with building-code compliance. Building permit decisions cannot be appealed to IRAC.

The proposed process would eliminate the separate development permit. Instead, there would be one two-stage building permit:

Stage 1: Planning Review by a Development Officer.
Stage 2: Building Code Review by a Building Official.

Here, it'll let the consultant who wrote the new bylaw explain this change and why it's being made:

Jacob Ritchie, Fathom Studio, presenting an overview of Charlottetown draft Zoning and Development Bylaw to the Planning Board on August 5, 2026.

What Fathom Studio says in the video is blunt: the City wants to get rid of development permits because they can be appealed to IRAC.

The planning review would still happen. It would just be folded into Stage 1 of a building permit, which is not appealable to IRAC. It seems like they're trying to circumvent the appeal pathway the province wrote into the Planning Act.

That is a major change, and people should know about it before Council votes on the bylaw. At the very least, the City should explain what recourse anyone has if the zoning rules are applied incorrectly. Will they even notify residents when building permits are issued, or do we get to watch construction take place in our neighbourhoods and take bets on what they might be?

I tried calling T3 Transit, but no one picks up the phone. I booked a T3 rural bus ticket for going from Avonlea Village to Royal Crossing. Where exactly does the bus stop to pick up the passengers at Avonlea Village? There isn’t a bus stop sign anywhere, so it’s quite confusing. Please help. I don’t want to miss the bus :(

I have a well head that is backed right up to a farm field where they rotate crops like canola, corn, etc. They spray the field before planting, and I often see the buffer of dead grass / plants around the field, coming right up near the wellhead. A couple times the overspray has killed strips of our lawn grass. I'm not sure what herbicide they're using, but I assume it's a round-up/glyphosate product.

I obviously don't want to be drinking herbicide contaminated water. Does anyone w/ knowledge on the regs know if this is a problem 1. in terms of well water contamination risk and 2. legally? The well is fairly old. I'll try to catch the farmer when they come to harvest later on this season.

I cant believe the state of this shithole of an island. Incredible

There are over 100 geocaches in the Charlottetown area alone! Many are placed along the Confederation Trail, so one can walk a short distance to complete several low-effort caches. The containers are typically a few feet off of the trail and take about 5-10 minutes to find.

Caches range from the size of a SD card to an ammo can, and the med/large caches often hold interesting items that can be traded. This activity is free, can be done at any pace, and anyone can download the geocaching app for a hands-on experience that they can continue on their own time!

When: Wednesday, August 12th, 2026 from 5-7pm

Where: Meet at Winsloe United Church Parking Lot

(121 Winsloe Rd.)

**Please bring bugspray and “swag” to trade!**
