A two-body Legislature is known as a bicameral Legislature. PEI’s first Governor, Walter Patterson, was instructed to establish a House of Assembly in which representatives were popularly elected (unlike Council members, who were appointed). The combination of a Council and House was a requirement for the enactment of legislation under British law. Though Patterson became Governor in 1769, the first House of Assembly was not elected until 1773. Early sessions of the Assembly met in private homes and taverns. A Sergeant-at-Arms of the time commented that this made for a “damn queer parliament”. By 1825, the House of Assembly was working on establishing its rights and privileges, particularly in terms of self- regulation and authority.

  • PEI Golf Awareness Day

    PEI Golf Awareness Day

    PEI Golf Awareness Day The Canadian Society of Club Managers ________________________________________________________ La Société canadienne des directeurs de clubs Photo credits: Winston Maund PEI Golf Awareness Day Press Conference April 5th - April 6th, 2011 The Prince Edward Island (PEI) branch of the National Allied Golf Associations (NAGA) brought local golf industry representatives to Province House to increase awareness of golf as a major driver of PEI’s local economy and a vital way by which one in five Islanders stay fit, get healthy and have fun. This year marked the first ever coordinated government advocacy effort put forth by local PEI golf industry representatives, and the events that took place provided an excellent opportunity to speak to local government decision makers about issues that are of concern to the industry. A survey of eight golf courses on PEI noted that there was a 25% decline in the number of golf rounds played by non-members, between 2003 and 2010. Golf industry representatives want to work with the Government of Prince Edward Island and Premier Ghiz to find ways to boost the health of the golf industry in Canada’s #1 Golf Destination. The Issue PEI golf industry representatives met with Ministers and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) in Charlotteotwn to speak on the impact the golf industry has in PEI, particularly in regards to the provincial economy. The golf industry of PEI is a vital driver of the island’s economy, responsible for $60.8 million (1.3%) of its Gross Domestic Product. Overall, golf causes $134.5 million in direct, indirect, and induced spending in the province.
