COAT OF ARMS: The Coat of Arms for the province was officially granted by royal warrant May 30, 1905. The top segment of the shield features the English heraldic lion. The lion appears on the coat of arms of Prince Edward Island and on the royal coat of arms of King Edward VII, who assigned the arms. The lower part of the shield shows a green Island with a large oak on the right and three young oaks on the left. The mature tree symbolizes the oak of England and the three saplings represent the province’s three counties - Kings, Queens and Prince. The trees rise from a single base, both Britain and PEI being islands.

Scrolled along the bottom of the shield are the Latin words Parva Sub Ingenti, which, when translated, read: The small under protection of the great.

In 2002, the Coat of Arms was amended to include a Royal Helm above the shield, upon which is perched a blue jay donning the royal crown of Prince Edward. Two silver foxes – one adorned in a wreath of potato blossoms and one wearing a fishing net necklace - support the shield. The foxes stand on a patch of grass sprouting a rose representing England, a thistle representing Scotland, an shamrock representing Ireland, a lily representing and two Lady’s Slippers, the provincial flower. Also prominent on the grass is an eight-pointed star, a Mi’Kmaq sun symbol. The Island motto appears at the bottom.

PROVINCIAL MOTTO: Parva Sub ingenti (“The small under the protection of the great.”)

PROVINCIAL NAMESAKE: Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George lll.

THE FLAG OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND: The design of the Prince Edward Island flag is modeled after the coat of arms in rectangular shape and is bordered on the three sides away from the mast by alternate bands of red and white.

THE FLORAL EMBLEM OF THE PROVINCE OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND The Lady's Slipper was designated as Prince Edward Island's floral emblem by the Legislative Assembly in 1947. The orchid gets its name from the shape of its petals which form a pouch somewhat like a slipper. The Lady’s Slipper blooms in late May and June and grows in shady, moist woodlands.

-15- PROVINCIAL TREE - RED OAK: The Red Oak (Quercus rubra L.) was adopted in 1987. The Red Oak, of medium size (60 to 100 ft. in height and 2-3 ft. in diameter) is found in the Acadian forest regions. Its wood is hard, heavy, strong and reddish-brown with nearly white sapwood and was used to make barrels to hold dry goods, but not liquids. It was also used for flooring, interior finish and furniture.

PROVINCIAL BIRD - BLUE JAY: The Blue Jay was officially declared Prince Edward Island's Avian Emblem during the 1977 session of the Provincial Legislature. This selection came about due to a public vote held during Environment Week in 1976.

The Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) is easily identified by the prominent sky-blue hood, wings and tail feathers; white adorns the throat and breast, and horizontal black arcs accent the wing tips and long distinctive tail. The Blue Jay eats almost every kind of food, preferring grains, animal matter, seeds and suet. The Blue Jay is common on the Island throughout the year and though it is generally considered a non-migratory bird, there is a definite trend southward at the beginning of winter. During spring and summer, the Blue Jay secludes itself in woodland areas where it nestles, feeds and raises its young. In autumn it prepares for winter, collecting a food supply. Winter is the ideal time for sightings, its shrill cries cutting the silence of the crisp winter air.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND TARTAN: People of Scottish descent make up the largest ethnic group on Prince Edward Island. To recognize their contribution in settling PEI, a design by Mrs. Jean Reed was adopted as our provincial tartan in 1960. The reddish-brown signifies the redness of the soil, the green represents the grass and trees, the white is for the caps on the waves, and the yellow is for the sun.

The Prince Edward Island Dress Tartan was unveiled at the College of Piping in Summerside PEI on June 25, 1992. PEI became the first province in Canada to recognize an official dress tartan, a late 19th- century innovation intended for evening wear. Designed by Ben Taylor, Scott MacAulay, Barbara Brown and John (Jock) Hopkirk, the dress tartan has a different design and substitutes white for one of the dark colours of the original tartan, but remains distinctly island with its green and Island-red combination.

PROVINCIAL SOIL: The provincial soil, the Charlottetown Series, was adopted in 1998. The Charlottetown Series is the most predominant soil type on the Island, accounting for approximately one-third of its total acreage. It is characterized by a sandy loam mixture, is moderately well drained, and is relatively stone free. It is considered the best soil for potato production.

PROVINCIAL ORDER: The Order of Prince Edward Island was established in 1997 by an act of the legislature to recognize individual excellence, achievement, and outstanding contributions to the social, cultural or economic well-being of Prince Edward Island and its residents. Members of the Order receive the Prince Edward Island Medal of Merit.

The order is the highest provincial honour that can be bestowed on a resident of the province. The insignia of the Order include: a medal incorporating the coat of arms without the Latin inscription against a background of gold and blue, worn with a ribbon of rust, green and white and a miniature thereof; a lapel pin bearing the provincial coat of arms. A member is entitled to wear the insignia of the order as a decoration and use the initials O.P.E.I. after his or her name.

-19- CHARLOTTETOWN

Charlottetown, (population 34,562 as of 2011) named in honour of Queen Charlotte, wife and consort of King George III of England, was designated the Provincial capital in 1764. The city was incorporated in 1855.

Charlottetown is known as the "Birthplace of Canada" for it was here in 1864 that delegates from across British North America met and discussed a union of their colonies. As a result, the birth of a nation took place when Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario united to form the Dominion of Canada.

PEI did not join this union until 1873 when it needed the nation's financial assistance to build a railroad. Charlottetown is primarily a residential city with many interesting places to visit. Some of the highlights include:

PROVINCE HOUSE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE OF CANADA, Grafton Street, houses the Legislature and Confederation Chamber. In 1864 the Fathers of Confederation met here. It is operated by Parks Canada and open to the public for tours.

-23- SUMMERSIDE

Summerside was incorporated as Prince Edward Island’s second city on April 1, 1995. Located in eastern Prince County, Summerside is the gateway to the North Cape Coastal Drive. The wharves of Historic Summerside reach out to meet the waters of Bedeque Bay on the south slope of a narrow land bridge that links our West Island with our East; bordered on the North by Malpeque Bay that spawned the world famous Malpeque oyster. Rich in history this 16,000 strong urban area is bordered by two of the great bay playgrounds of Prince Edward Island. Summerside’s festive spirit is infectious. Live performances and relaxing social escapes abound in Summerside – providing event attendees the chance to soak in the local culture and fun. Our regional partners also provide diverse offerings of things to see and do. Department stores, quaint shops, restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs, Summerside fits the bill for your leisure time. Our downtown has a charming collection of shops and boutiques or travel a short distance uptown to many more stores and services.

The bridge is open all year round, 24 hours a day and takes approximately 12 minutes to cross. By land…Summerside has direct access to the Island’s two major highways – Route 1A and (Trans-Canada Highway) and Route 2. By Air…Summerside is only 40 minutes from Charlottetown Airport, 5 minutes from Slemon Park Airport and one hour away from International Airport.

SUMMERSIDE CITY HALL is presently located at 275 Fitzroy Street. The former location on Summer St. was built in 1882-86 as a post office. Local tradition insists that the foundation was put in backwards, later necessitating some ad hoc alterations. During its construction, a disgruntled stone cutter named Bernard Gallant vented his displeasure with the job foreman by replacing one of the doves in the stone arch over the south entrance with a pig's face. The clock was imported from England and installed in 1914-15. The post office vacated in 1952 and the structure was purchased by the town in 1956 and re-opened as the town hall.

-28- PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND CLIMATE

Despite its maritime location, the climate of Prince Edward Island is largely continental in nature owing to its location on the east coast of an immense continental land mass. Since the general movement of air masses is from west to east, air reaching the region has had a previous history over the continent. The effects of the sea are noticeable everywhere but act mainly as a modifier.

Ice conditions in the Gulf of St. Lawrence retard the arrival of spring. On the other hand, in autumn the water of the Gulf is relatively warm and holds back the onset of winter for a few weeks longer. Influxes of moist Atlantic air produce mild spells in winter and periods of cool weather during the summer.

The average frost-free period is 140 to 160 days. Temperatures on the Island have never officially reached 35 C (95 F) and record low temperatures at Charlottetown have never exceeded - 31 C (-24 F). (1971-2000)

-30- PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND LIGHTHOUSES

Canada’s smallest province has a deeply indented coastline stretching over miles of sandy beaches and red capes. With 63 lighthouses and range light structures (40 still active Aids to Navigation), this averages one lighthouse for every 34 square miles, which is thought to be the highest concentration of lighthouses in any province or state in Canada or the United States.

The following nine lighthouses are open to the public during the summer: West Point, Tignish Run, East Point, Souris, Panmure Island Head, Cape Bear, Wood Islands, Point Prim and Victoria Seaport Museum (Leard’s Front Range). They are all operated by community not-for- profit groups.

Thirteen other lighthouses are owned privately, or in two cases, by not for profit groups. They are listed as Private and we ask visitors to respect the owners’ privacy.

The lighthouses are listed and numbered the same as they are listed in the Prince Edward Island Lighthouse society brochure, beginning with Former Miminegash Range. They are listed as Decommissioned (not an active aid to navigation, or Active.)

The information has been supplied by Carol Livingstone, President PEI Lighthouse Society and Kraig Anderson, lighthousefriends.com It should be noted that NOT ALL OF THESE LIGHTHOUSES HAVE PUBLIC ACCESS ROADS.

Please respect “NO TRESPASSING” and “PRIVATE ROAD” signs!

62. WEST POINT LIGHTHOUSE This lighthouse, built in 1875, is the tallest lighthouse on PEI at 20.1 m (67 ft. 8 in.). It is the first of the “second generation” lighthouses on PEI which marked the transfer of responsibility for aids to navigation from the Colonial Government to the new federal Department of Marine and Fisheries. It is adjacent to Cedar Dunes Park which has supervised swimming, nature trails, boardwalk and a restaurant nearby. Active lighthouse. Open seasonally.

2. TIGNISH RUN LIGHTHOUSE Constructed in 1880 by Henry Williams and put in operation in 1881, the Tignish Run Lighthouse was located at the entrance to the Main Channel, cutting through a sandy beach at Jude’s Point. There is a boardwalk, playground, canteen and picnic area. It is also known as Big Tignish or Jude’s Point Lighthouse. Decommissioned. Open seasonally.

20. EAST POINT LIGHTHOUSE The East Point Lighthouse, built in 1866-67, is a major coastal light that serves all marine traffic using the Canso Strait to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It’s the last of the Colonian lighthouses to be built on PEI. The Friends of Elmira, a non-profit group, assumed ownership in 2010. A Welcome Centre, gifts shop and café operate in the Fog Alarm Building which was moved because of erosion in 2008. There is a picnic area. East Point Lighthouse and the North Cape Interpretive Centre have a Tip to Tip Program. Active. Open seasonally.

The lighthouse was moved due to erosion in 1946 and plans are underway to move it to a new location in 2011. There are tours, displays, a simulated telegraph office, a gift shop and picnic tables. Active. Open seasonally.

35. The lighthouse, constructed in 1875-76, began service in November 1876. The 1937 construction of the Wood Islands Terminal increased this light’s importance.

The Wood Island Range Lights are within easy walking or driving distance. Active. Open seasonally.

HISTORY PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND - GENERAL HISTORY

Jacques Cartier is believed to have been the first of the early European explorers to have set foot on the Island. Other European explorers, including John Cabot, may have sighted the Island during their visits to the East Coast of ‘present day’ Canada, but Cartier, who landed at Cape Kildare, was the first white man to have left a record of having visited the Island. He described it as “The fairest island ‘tis possible to see,” but commented on the lack of harbours. Had Cartier continued around to the south or eastern shores, he would have found many fine harbours. He did encounter a few of the Indians who inhabited the Island, but found them to be extremely shy. His visit was brief and he did not penetrate inland. Although Cartier took possession of the territory for France in 1534, it was not until 1720 that the first settlers arrived. These hardy souls were brought to this part of the New World by Count St. Pierre. This first settlement was name Port-la-Joye (located across the harbour from present day Charlottetown).

Another man who left his print on the pages of the French Colonial days was Jean-Pierre Roma, who founded an ambitious settlement at Three Rivers (now Brudenell Point) in 1732. But hopes for a vast commercial empire, which he cherished, faded in the face of several crushing disasters, one of which was that some of his settlers were lured to other parts of the Island. Another major set back was that his crops were destroyed by a plague of field mice, and as well, his largest vessel with all its cargo was lost at sea. The final blow in 1745 when the entire settlement was looted and burned by a marauding band of New Englanders. Thirteen years of hard work were gone in a matter of hours but Roma and his family escaped into the forest and later moved to Quebec. Today the Roma historic site at Brudenell Point is open to the public, and recreates the efforts of this brave pioneer to found a new world for himself and his friends.

While parts of the force of New Englanders destroyed Three Rivers the remainder took Port La Joie and burned it to the ground. The entire force then returned to Louisbourg in Nova Scotia. The British controlled the Island until 1748, when it was returned to French settlers. In the next few years as British pressure against the increased there was a steady stream of Acadians migrating to the Island from Beaubassin on the Chignecto Peninula.

The stream became a torrent after the mass expulsion of the Acadians from the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia in 1755, but the Island was only temporary refuge. In 1758 Louisbourg fell and Lord Rollo with 500 men and four ships-of-war arrived to occupy the Island and transport the inhabitants to France. At Fort Amherst, a large square “redoubt” mounting 18 cannon was built. The garrison stationed at Port La Joie was left as an occupying force while several thousand Acadians were being taken to France.

This ended the French occupation. Uninhabited except for the few Acadians who had escaped deportation along with some Micmac Indians, the island of St-John as it was now called attracted British colonizers. In 1763 the Island was annexed to Nova Scotia and thanks to the remarkable and persistent requests of the Earl of Egmont, it was given serious attention by the British Lords of Government. The Lord of Egmont audaciously set before the British Lords of Trade a proposal that he be granted the entire Island which he would rule absolutely as a feudality. It was rejected on the grounds that such a system, although useful for defence and military discipline, was totally inapplicable to an overseas colony where the encouragement of commerce and agriculture was the main consideration. Egmont continued to press his claim. His third brief had appointed to it a long list of admirals, generals, peers, members of parliament and other notables who wished to share the grant. Finally the Board of Trade recommended a survey of the Island and subsequent grants of no more than 20,000 acres of land were given to Egmont and his nine children, as well as to other petitioners.

-84- In 1764, Captain Samuel Holland, commissioned as Surveyor - General of British North America North of the Potomac River, began his survey of Prince Edward Island. For two years, Holland, Canada’s first Surveyor-General, made headquarters at Holland’s Cove. It was here that a son was born to his French wife. St. John Jack, the name that the Hollands gave their baby, is believed to be the first child of British parentage born on PEI.

Holland’s survey, completed in 1765, was thorough. He proposed the locations of Charlottetown, Georgetown, and Princetown (whose towns were laid out in 1768 by Chief surveyor Charles Morris of Nova Scotia). He made numerous observations of the climate, geography, and wildlife. He also divided the Island into counties, parishes, and townships. In 1765 Charlottetown, named after Queen Charlotte the Consort of King George III, was founded and chosen as the capital.

In a lottery held in London in 1767, applicants for land grants drew 67 numbers and accordingly were allotted the Townships surveyed by Holland. Thus the irksome “Land of Questions” with its familiar features of absentee landlords, oppressive and dishonest land agents, and abused tenants became the Island’s main domestic problem for more than 100 years. The Earl of Egmont had died by this time and was not involved in the ensuing acrimony.

The land-owners petitioned the King to establish a separate government for the Island in 1769. Walter Patterson was appointed the first Governor of the newly established separate colony. The expenses for the government of the Island of St. John were an estimated $1,470.00 a year which was to be paid from the rents of landlords. It was in 1773 that the first House of Assembly met, passing 13 acts during its single session.

It was during this period that Scottish, Irish, and English groups crossed the stormy Atlantic Ocean in sailing vessels to build new homes in a new land. The most numerous of the early settlers were the Scots who fled from oppression in their homeland. One of the earliest groups came with MacDonald of the Glanalandale in 1772 and settled at Scotchfort near Mt. Stewart. Then came 800 hardy Scotsmen who followed Lord Selkirk to the New World. They settled near present day Eldon, and their descendants are prosperous farmers and fishermen in the area. Another early group of settlers was the United Empire Loyalists who came from the United States after the American War of Independence. The American Revolution had its repercussions in Charlottetown. Two American armed schooners sailed out to Marblehead to intercept a couple of British ships bringing arms and supplies to Quebec. Instead of making the interception in the St. Lawrence River, the Americans took the easier course and raided Charlottetown. Landing parties were met politely by the Honourable Philip Callbeck, the Attorney General and Chief Governmental authority of the Island in the absence of Governor Patterson. They took the Silver Seal of the Province (which was never recovered), the Governor’s Commission, silverware, household belongings, furniture and food supplies. They also drank all the liquor. Callbeck and Wright, the Surveyor General, were taken away by the American Raiders to the headquarters of the Continental Army at Cambridge. General Washington immediately released the Cabinet Ministers and severely reprimanded the commanders of the American vessels. Both commanders were later dismissed from the service and deprived of their Master’s Certificates. No restitution was made for the plundered goods.

-85- St. John’s Island was named Prince Edward Island in 1799, in honour of Edward, Duke of Kent, the fourth son of George III. This ended the long prevalent confusion with the Island of St. John’s, Newfoundland, St. John on the Labrador Coast and St. John, New Brunswick. The first Assembly had suggested “New Ireland” as a name in 1780 but the British Government did not agree, suggesting instead New Guernsey or New Angelesea. The arrival of the Duke of Kent in Halifax and his interest in the welfare and security of the Island made his name a popular choice. Although Prince Edward never visited the Island, the Assembly passed a local act naming their Island after him.

Prince Edward Island is sometimes referred to as the ‘Cradle of Confederation.” Thomas Heath Haviland, a Prince Edward Island Father of Confederation, would have been pleased at the reference, “It may yet be said,” he declared in Charlottetown in 1864, “that here in little Prince Edward Island was that union formed which has produced one of the greatest nations on the face of God’s Earth.” His ringing words recall the Charlottetown Conference of September 1, 1864, a conference to discuss a local union for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, expanded under the influence of great political minds and the vision of a future nation to something much greater. From the Charlottetown Conference emerged the concept of Confederation which was presented in 72 resolutions adopted at the Quebec Conference a month later and given reality by the British North America Act 1867.

Charles Tupper, William A. Henry, Robert D. Dicky, Jonathan McCully, and Adam G. Archibald from Nova Scotia; Samuel Leonard Tilley, John M Johnson, John Hamilton Gray, William H. Steeves, and Edward B. Chandler from New Brunswick and Edward Palmer, W. H. Pope, John Hamilton Gray, George Coles, and A. A. MacDonald from Prince Edward Island met in the Colonial Building in Charlottetown. After receiving permission to attend, they had left for the Island on board the government steam ship Queen Victoria. They arrived and invited the to present their views. Representing Canada at the meeting were Sir John A. MacDonald, George Brown, William MacDougall, Thomas D’arcy McGee, Alexander Campbell, Alexander Galt, George F. Cartier, and Hector Langevin.

The idea of Confederation emerged from the Charlottetown Conference, but Prince Edward Island did not enter consideration. Disappointed because the Quebec Conference produced no hope of solving their “Land Questions,” and seeing no benefit in an union with provinces that were separated during winter by the ice-choked Northumberland Strait, the Islanders stayed out of Confederation until 1873. Finally embarrassed by a railway costing approximately $25,000 a mile, and encouraged by Dominion Government undertakings to buy out the landlords, establish reliable communications across the Northumberland Strait and take over the costly railway, the government of Prince Edward Island adopted union unanimously. Lord Dufferin, the Canadian Governor-General, visited Charlottetown in 1873. He was greeted by an arch of welcome, reading, “Long courted, Won at Last.”

Today Prince Edward Island has capitalized upon its rich soil and temperate climate to develop a noteworthy agriculture industry. Prince Edward Island potatoes, dairy products, and livestock are known throughout Canada. Fishing is still an important industry and the silver fox industry originated with Island fur breeders.

-86- HISTORICAL MILESTONES c11,000 BP (Before Present) -- Glaciers retreat from Gulf of St Lawrence area. Evidence of first people living on Prince Edward Island. The Island is connected to the mainland by a land bridge stretching roughly from West Cape to Point Prim. c7500 BP (give or take a millennium or so) -- Rising sea levels submerge the land bridge. Northumberland Strait appears. PEI becomes an island.

1534 -- Island is "discovered" by Jacques Cartier. He describes it "The fairest land 'tis possible to see. Full of fine meadows and trees." Later named Île St. Jean, it is claimed by France, which generally ignores it for the next two centuries.

1720 -- After losing control of to the British, the French decide it is high time they settle in Île St. Jean. They establish a capital at Port-la-Joye, just across the harbour from present-day Charlottetown. Other major settlements include St. Pierre (near Morell), Trois Rivières (Brudenell) and Malpeque (eastern Prince county).

1745 -- A force of British and New England troops capture Île St. Jean, destroying Port-la-Joye and Trois Rivières.

1748 -- Britain trades Île St. Jean back to France for a city in India.

1758 -- British troops capture the colony again and deport the population of French and Acadian settlers -- close to 5000 people. A small number, fewer than 300, escape deportation.

1762 -- Charlottetown founded, named in honour of Charlotte, wife of King George III

1763 -- The Treaty of Paris ends the Seven Years War between France and Great Britain. France cedes Quebec, Île St. Jean and Île Royale (Cape Breton) to Britain. For book keeping purposes, the latter two are annexed to Nova Scotia. The Island’s name changes to St. John’s Island.

1765 -- Charlottetown made capital

1767 -- Having been surveyed and divided into 67 lots of approximately 20,000 acres, the Island is granted to a handful of private proprietors. In return for their land grants, the proprietors promise to bring out settlers and pay "quit rents" to support the government of the colony. Despite this promise most, as a rule, don't.

1769 -- After intense lobbying by its proprietors, the Island is detached from the administration of Nova Scotia and given its own Governor and civil administration.

1773 -- Lacking a suitable chamber, the Legislature meets for the first time at the Crossed Keys Tavern in Charlottetown. The tavern's doorkeeper is supposed to have quipped "This is a damned queer parliament." Queer or not, it is the second-oldest Legislature in Canada -- only Nova Scotia's is older.

1775 -- Two American privateers raid the tiny settlement of Charlotte Town. Finding little of value worth stealing (other than the colony's official seal, which is made of silver) they content themselves with kidnapping two government officials. The latter are returned, but the seal is never seen again.

-87- 1799 -- There are too many "St. Johns" (cities, rivers, colonies, etc) in the maritimes. So the Island decides to rename itself "Prince Edward," in honour of one of King George III's sons: Edward, Duke of Kent (and father of Queen Victoria). Ironically, the only time Prince Edward seems to have mentioned the Island was when he recommended it be re-annexed to Nova Scotia.

1803 -- In the largest single colonization in Island history, 800 settlers from the Scottish highlands land at Belfast. They are sponsored by Thomas Douglas, Lord Selkirk, who later founded the Red River settlement in Manitoba. By the mid-1800s, Scots represent over half our population, making us the most "Scottish" province or state in North America.

1816 -- Islanders face their third hungry winter in a row. Between 1813 and 1815, plagues of mice attacked numerous settlements. This year will be nick-named "The Year Without Summer" as dust from an enormous volcanic eruption in the Pacific lowers temperatures -- and harvest yields -- around the world.

1830 -- The Island's electorate doubles in size as full civil rights are extended to Roman Catholics. Catholicism was technically illegal in Great Britain and the Empire until 1829.

1834 -- , the Island’s first institution of higher education, is established in Charlottetown.

1838 -- The "Escheat" Party, led by William Cooper, wins control of the Legislature. ("Escheat" was the legal process where the Crown could repossess a land grant.) Escheaters demand Great Britain revoke the land grants of 1767 and redistribute the land to tenant farmers. Authorities in London refuse to even meet with Cooper, and his Party collapses within a few years.

1846 -- Inventor Abraham Gesner unveils a new lamp fuel he calls "kerosene" at a Mechanics' Institute meeting in Charlottetown. It's the first public demonstration of kerosene in the world.

1847 -- Province House opens.

1855 -- Charlottetown is incorporated as the Island's first city.

1864 -- Delegates arrive in Charlottetown to discuss the possibility of a political union of British North American colonies. After an initial burst of enthusiasm for the concept, Islanders decide not to participate.

1866 -- The Reciprocity Treaty lapses. Busy with rebuilding its country and economy after a Civil War, the United States isn't interested in free trade. The Island economy booms on regardless. A fire devastates Charlottetown, 200 buildings burn.

1868 -- The best year ever for shipbuilding as 120 vessels are launched from Island shipyards. Between 1800 and 1880 we built close to 4000 vessels. Prince Edward Island now is one of the

-88- most active shipbuilding centres outside Great Britain - shipbuilding is the engine driving the economy.

1871 -- We decide we cannot face the future without a railroad, so we mortgage the province to build one. Costs quickly rise beyond what we can afford.

1874 --Lucy Maud Montgomery is born in Clinton, PEI.

1873 - Faced with a mounting railway debt, an unfinished railroad and the effects of a world-wide trade depression, the Island negotiates a deal to enter Confederation. We get: 6 seats in the House of Commons, 4 seats in the Senate, relief from the railway debt and cash ($800,000) to buy out the remaining large private estates. We give up our independence. c1880 - The shipbuilding industry in collapses. The industry that had amounted to half the Island economy disappears in the course of a few years. Thousands of Islanders migrate to the "Boston States" to get work in factories and domestic service. Over the next 50 years, the population will drop from 120,000 to 80,000.

1885 -- Dismayed that they still have to rely on iceboats for winter mail and passenger transportation, Islanders demand a fixed link to the mainland in the form of a railway tunnel.

1895 -- Robert Oulton and become the first to successfully breed silver foxes in captivity. They share their secrets and breeding stock with a small circle of associates and within ten years they become very wealthy. At the peak of the fox boom in 1912, individual pelts are fetching as much as $2,000. For almost 20 years the Island is the only source in the world for farm-bred silver foxes.

1908 -- Anne of Green Gables is published.

1917 -- The Island's first ice-breaking car ferry, Prince Edward Island, begins service between the new ports of Borden and Cape Tormentine. The vessel stays in service until 1968.

1919 -- Though there were a few loopholes in the law, automobiles were effectively banned from Island roads in 1908. Since 1917 communities had the right to vote whether to lift the ban on their particular stretch of road. This year the last closed road -- Tracadie to Mount Stewart -- is voted open.

1922 -- Prince Edward Island becomes the second-last province in Canada to extend the vote to women. Only Quebec, which waits until 1949, takes longer.

1924 -- With more automobiles coming over from the mainland, where they drive on the right hand side of the road, PEI decides to join the rest of the continent. Newspapers are full of warnings that we are no longer to drive on the left.

1925 -- The Island's first radio station, CFCY, is licensed for broadcasting.

1937 --The Prince Edward Island National Park, which encompasses the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is designated.

1941 -- Charlottetown native Carl Burke founded Maritime Central Airways. By the mid-1950s, MCA will be the 3rd largest passenger airline and the biggest air freight carrier in the country. In 1963 he sells the airline to Eastern Provincial Airlines, which in the 1980s became part of

-89- .

1972 --Anne of Green Gables is released as a five-part mini-series on BBC television. A second adaption airs on CBC in 1985.

1988 -- Islanders vote by a margin of 60% to 40% in favour of exploring the possibilities of building a fixed link to the mainland. Half of those in favour, though, think that a tunnel is the only way to go and say later they would have voted against a bridge.

1989--The rail service is discontinued.

KENSINGTON Kensington Railway Station In 1871 the colony of Prince Edward Island embarked upon the construction of a circuitous 147-mile railway covering a 120-mile distance between Georgetown and Alberton. The high cost of building the line added substantially to the public debt and helped to persuade the colony to enter Confederation in 1873. The town of Kensington was among the numerous communities accommodated by the Prince Edward Island Railway. The distinctive stone station, built in 1904 to replace an earlier frame structure, was designed by the Island architect Charles Chappel.

He was the first resident Lieutenant Governor of the Northwest Territories (1876-81) and negotiated the Blackfoot Treaty in 1877. He was named Indian Commissioner for Manitoba and the Northwest Territories. Born in New Glasgow, 1833. Died in Ottawa, 1914. It is on Rte.13.

-94- RUSTICO Reverend Georges-Antoine Belcourt and Farmers Bank of Rustico (1864 - 1894) Under the leadership of Rev. G.A. Belcourt, a former pioneer missionary in the West, his parishioners erected this building to house one of the first people’s banks in Canada. Chartered in 1864, and directed by farmers and fishermen, it continued to operate until 1894 and foreshadowed the development of the Credit Union movement. The bank, by providing cheap credit, enabled the people of this predominantly Acadian community to gain economic independence. It is located on the Church Road, Rte. 234 North, adjacent to St. Augustine’s church in Rustico.

When visiting the Farmers’ Bank Museum in Rustico, the new addition to the site, “ The Doucet House,” is among the most historic houses on Prince Edward Island. A dendrochronology report prepared by Dr. Andre Robichaud of the Université de Moncton found that the structure was built on or about the year 1768. It is certainly the oldest in the Rustico area and is most probably the oldest in the whole of the province.

SOUTH SHORE BONSHAW Strathgartney Homestead Reminder of the land tenure system that dominated political and social life on the island for over a century. Strathgartney Homestead operated as an inn for many years.

CAPE TRAVERSE First Submarine Telegraph in America Rte. 10: Commemorating the laying of the first substantial submarine cable in America. It extended from Carleton Head, PEI to Cape Tormentine, NB. Laid by Frederick Newton Gisborne, Monday November 22, 1852.

Ice Boat Service In Cape Traverse on Rte. 10. On December 19, 1827 a new mail service began from Cape Traverse across the icy Northumberland Strait to Cape Tormentine, NB. The ice boat was small, sturdy and fitted with runners so it could be used in water or on ice. Soon the ice boat became standard equipment for the service. With calculated daring, ice boat expeditioners conquered drifting ice and sudden storms to bring passengers and mails safely to land. Until the first car ferry ice breaker began duty in 1917, the Capes Ice Boat Service afforded the quickest and most reliable means of winter communication between Prince Edward Island and the mainland.

CHARLOTTETOWN All Souls’ Chapel Located in St. Peter’s Cathedral. This chapel was designed by William Crithchlow Harris, Jr. and is a masterful example of High Victorian Gothic revival in Canada. It is a outstanding high Victorian gothic chapel with mural; 1888.

Before the attainment of Responsible Government in 1851, it served as the seat of the Colonial Executive power. Through the years this house has provided a setting of simple elegance for the formal entertainment of the island community and its distinguished visitors.

Great George Street Historic District - NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE The entire street scape, August 28, 1992 was designated a National Historic Site at the conclusion of the First Ministers Conference on the constitution.

Prince Edward Island Becomes a Province of Canada (Provincial Administration Offices Grounds)

Cradled on the waves, this beautiful Island was successively named Abegweit, Île Saint-Jean, and Prince Edward Island to denote Mi’kmaq, French and English regimes. Discovered and settled by the French, it finally became a British colony in 1763. English, Scottish and Irish settlers joined the French inhabitants to form a sturdy pioneer stock and to build primary industries of agriculture and fishing. Considering the original terms of confederation unfavourable, Prince Edward Island did not join the Dominion until July 1, 1873. Hon. James C. Pope was the first Premier.

He is best known for his painting of the Fathers of Confederation, but produced many other works, conservative and academic, which reflect the taste of his age.

-106- LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY The Island's Most Famous Author

Born at Clinton Corner, PEI, on November 30, 1874, Lucy Maud Montgomery was brought up in Cavendish . Her natural and cultural surroundings inspired her early efforts at prose and poetry. One of her poems was published in a local newspaper when she was 15 and this encouraged her to continue with her writing efforts.

She left Prince of Wales College in 1894 and taught school for a year before attending in Halifax for the next two years. More teaching on the Island was followed by a year in Halifax as a columnist for the Daily Echo. In 1898 , her grandfather Macneill passed away and she returned to Cavendish to live with and to help out her grandmother . She lived at home for the next 13 years. In 1904-06 she wrote Anne of Green Gables. It was rejected by five publishers in two years. After a period of time, she sent it to Page and Co. in Boston, and it appeared in 1908. The book and its author became an overnight sensation.

In 1911, Montgomery married Rev. Ewan MacDonald, and moved to Ontario first to Leaksdale, then to Norval and finally Toronto until her death in 1942. Although she never again lived on PEI, she visited often. All but one of her 21 novels were set on PEI. “The Blue Castle “was set in Ontario.

Although she wrote 21 novels and collections of stories and one volume of poetry, it is for Anne of Green Gables that she is remembered. It has been translated into 15 different languages and put on film. Its story, inspired by the land, sea and people around her, has in turn imparted an image of Prince Edward Island that draws 140,000 people annually from around the world to Green Gables, the farm which inspired the setting for the novel.

Montgomery’s Emily series of books has gained recognition through the CBC television series Emily of New Moon, first aired in January, 1998. The musical EmilyTM followed with the world premiere on the mainstage at the Confederation Centre of the Arts, Charlottetown in June, 1999. Montgomery characterized the Emily series as being “the most autobiographical” of all of her writings.

**IMPORTANT!!!! Tourists should be aware that dangerous currents and surf conditions are present in Island waters. In heavy surf, the waters off PEI can be extremely dangerous.

Information is available on page 54, 2014 PEI Visitor’s Guide, or at visitor information centres (VICs). The information describes rip currents, also known as rip tides. Rip currents occur when water blown onshore by strong winds rushes back out to sea in a narrow channel between sand bars.

It is recommended strongly that when going to a beach, it should be to a supervised beach. P.E.I.'s provincial park-sand beaches within Prince Edward Island National Park post warnings about surf conditions.

-118- CYCLING: CONFEDERATION TRAIL

When the Prince Edward Island Railway was abandoned in 1989, Islanders were quick to notice a unique opportunity. The idea of a tip-to-tip shared-use walking and cycling trail was born and the final link was completed for Canada Day, 2000. A tip-to-tip tour totals 273 km but including branches, 400 km of excellent stone-dust trails are available for use. The Confederation Trail is the provincial component of the Trans Canada Trail and is a part of PEI Provincial Parks.

Tignish to Elmsdale, 0-27 (27 km) 0 Tignish is the western terminus of the Confederation Trail just as it was for the railway. Little remains from rail days except the open station area with the “T” on the north side where they used to turn the engines around for the return trip. The station area has been turned into a large kilometre-zero central park by the community. A short distance away, again to the north, is St. Simon and St. Jude Church. It was built in 1860 and contains a tracker-action organ built by Louis Mitchell of Montreal.

The community name is said to come from “Mtegenetig”, a Mi’Maq term for “trail”. Tignish is about 13 km. from the lighthouse and windmills at North Cape and about 3 km. from beaches at Tignish Shore. It is home to the Tignish Cultural Centre dedicated to the French and Irish heritage of the community.

1 Ascension Bridge is the last remaining bridge over a road in the province. Farther along, an old boiler, cut out on both ends, forms a narrow passage under the trail that was used as part of a dog sled trail in winter.

2 The district of Ascension was the scene of a tragic train wreck where four lives were lost in 1932. An interpretation sign commemorates the event and those who perished. Tank Pond, nearby on the opposite side of the trail, had silted in over many years but is restored once again as a deep fishing pond where ducks and herons can be seen. If you look in the large culvert under the trail, you will note that it also serves as a fish ladder. Originally this pond was created by the PEI Railway to provide water for steam trains. The old foundation of a water tank remains near the trail shelter.

Wetland habitat is predominant in the area. With it comes wetland plants, trees and other species. Eastern white cedar is found only in the western end of PEI Also found are black- billed cuckoos and white-winged crossbills. Drowned trees indicate beaver activity and provide for woodpeckers. Many small birds such as warblers and chickadees are found in alder and juniper. White ash trees are also found along the trail, a species well used by first peoples.

11 St. Louis community on route 152 developed a roadside trail access and rest stop which could be a model for any community. Large elm trees are scattered along the upper Montrose River watershed, enjoying the shallow water table in the flood plain.

-119- 18 Huntley is named for Sir Henry Vere Huntley, Lt. Governor of PEI in the 1840s. A trestle bridge provides a vista over Huntley Creek. Downstream was the site of an early power dam which provided electricity in Alberton. A glacial era esker crosses the trail at the location of a large gravel pit, and ends near the trail at km. 24. A series of interpretive signs on local birds are also found from here to km. 24.

21 The Town of Alberton is on a short spur from the main trail where a fieldstone station remains as a feature in Alberton Station Park. It was built in 1906 by Schurmans Ltd. A date-stone is located above the central window on the trail side. Alberton was named for Albert Edward, later King Edward VII. Alberton Museum and Genealogy Centre is located nearby in the 1878 courthouse, a National Historic Site.

27 Elmsdale was named for the elm trees seen for the last few kilometres. Naturally-occurring elms exist mainly in the western end of the province. Higher ground permits more agriculture as indicated by more open landscape. This is potato country and residents have commemorated the Industry with a monument in a small trail-side park. The first of several Trans Canada Trail Discovery Panel sites is here also. Shelters are located at km 0, 2.0, 2.8, 6.1, 13.0, 17.2, 20.0, 26.8

Elmsdale to Portage 27-59 (32 km.) 27 One of the province’s three grain elevators is located beside the trail just south of Elmsdale. Elm, yellow birch and beech are more frequent but habitat in this region is mixed wetland and upland with some indications of our forest industry. Strip-harvesting of softwood and some plantations of pine and juniper are evident. So too are wetlands with beaver dams and the now- familiar drowned trees.

36 Bloomfield Station is one of the many small communities en route. Services are available at Bloomfield Corner and not far away is MacAusland’s Woolen Mill. John Joe Scenic Heritage Road is nearby also.

38 A small trail bridge crosses Cain’s Brook which is the stream that once powered the machinery at MacAusland’s. It is not yet known what function the concrete abutments beside the trail served. The brook flows into the Mill River.

40 Duvar, at the next crossroad, was named for John Hunter Duvar, a fisheries inspector and poet.

42 Route 143 at Howlan leads to Mill River Provincial Park approximately 4 km to the east. It was named for George W. Howlan, Lt. Governor of P.E.I., 1894-9. Carruthers Brook bridge overlooks what is now a quiet fishing stream but at one time a dam created a mill pond for another woolen mill and was also used by the railway for water for the steam engines. The

-120- brook is another tributary of the Mill River. Large white pine trees are noticeable along the trail. Approaching the village of O’Leary, the trail passes through an extensive wetland with a large beaver house and cat-tails. This is a tributary of the Trout River. There have been many washouts here due to beaver activity and one even stole a piece of a trail warning barricade, adding it to the top of his house. Watch along the route for underwater beaver baffle pipes which permit water to flow but maintain sufficient levels to keep these industrious critters happy.

45 O’Leary is the agriculture centre for the region with potato warehouses and shipping depots plus general services. The old railway station has been restored for business offices and a small park on its road side contains a war memorial. The O’Leary Potato Museum is up the street to the west.

47 The trail provides an elevated vista over Leard’s Pond where Leard’s Mill, a restored traditional flour mill, uses water power. There is an extensive trail system along the lower part of this waterway, near the Western Road.

50 Route 14 at Coleman is the exit point for West Point and Cedar Dunes Provincial Park. An extensive wetland area is found south of Coleman, and one small bog. Sheep laurel and wild rose can be found in season. Near a small bridge over Mary River, there are hay-scented, sensitive and wood ferns. A short distance away in a deep hollow is Mary Creek. Cedar, old- man’s beard on white spruce, and jack pine are found in the immediate area.

55 An old derelict station sits beside the trail at West Devon waiting for someone to discover a reason to restore it. The large timbers used are typical of railway construction. Next stop is Portage where the trail crosses the Western Road. Shelters located at km 37.6, 40.4, 44.5, 46.3, 51.3

Portage to Wellington 59-90 (31 km) 59 The pond between the trail and the highway at Portage is a Provincial Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Waterfowl, amphibians, and reptiles are seen in the area. Pitcher plants are noted growing out of the water in the north end and green snakes have been found near the trail. They are scarce in this province. Trail in this area passes through wetlands with beaver and a variety of birds. Wild iris, also known as blue flag, is found in season. Also seen in this section was a spectacular purple fringed orchid growing out of a wetland beside cat-tails. The trail crosses the road at McNeill’s Mills which was named for John McNeill, operator of grist and saw mills over a century ago.

70 Passing more wetlands, the trail reaches Ellerslie Bog, the most extensive bog on the entire trail. It is owned by the province and managed by Environment as a natural area. A boardwalk extends out into the bog which features interpretive signage on a platform at the end. Just past the road into Ellerslie is a bridge over Ellerslie Creek and one of the treasures under the trail. Down the wooden stairs on the east side of the trail one can see under the main trail bridge. It

-121- is high concrete arch, with a 1922 date at the top. Almost all railway structures contain a date stone. That includes stations, bridges, culverts, foundations (water towers) and at one time every railway tie under the rails contained a date nail, one with a flat head and the year on the top. This was all a part of the railway maintenance program.

74 Port Hill Station was on a clay road outside of Tyne Valley. The crossing is now a quiet intersection with no structures in evidence. However turning left will put one quickly in the community and not far from Green Park Provincial Park.

78 Wetlands predominate almost to Northam where higher ground is in agricultural use. The area south of the road was heavily damaged in a very heavy rain storm in September 1999 when an entire section of the trail bed was lost because existing culverts could not manage heavy flooding. Local lore indicates that the next hardwood land on the east side of the trail was an historic seasonal camping area of native peoples.

83 At Richmond the trail once again crosses route 2. The café on the right side provides parking as well as sustenance for trail users all year. On the other side of the highway, the trail crosses a dam which at one time contained a millpond on a stream to the Little Trout River. Further along is a small trail bridge across the stream that is known locally as Red Bridge. Local names for physical features are not uncommon on the Island. Approaching Wellington one passes through a Provincial Natural Area managed by the Forestry Branch featuring a stand of white ash trees with young elm trees in the understorey. Also in the area is a Juniper plantation.

90 The trail passes through the community of Wellington, parallel to the main street. It crosses the Grand River, a pleasant rest stop with a view down the river. On the west side, a railway caboose has been restored as a craft shop for tourists. This is the exit point from the trail to the Evangeline Region. Shelters are located at km. 59.1, 61.8, 66.7, 69.0, 71.4, 77.1, 81.6, 82.9, 90.6

Wellington to Kensington 90-123 (33 km) The trail east of Wellington is the longest straight section in the province. Straight sections are rare because in the original railway construction contract, the contractor was paid by the mile and the route was not specified. Thus going around the hills and other obstacles was more lucrative in two ways for the contractor. History leaves us with a very interesting winding trail. The section passes through the Miscouche swamp, as it is locally known. It is a peaceful woodland area, rich in bird life and varied in plant species. It is the easternmost limit of white cedar in the province.

97 A large wetland is located in the centre, east of St. Nicholas road. It is called Muddy Creek and contains deep water beside the trail. Beaver have made several attempts to fill the large concrete culvert under the trail but water levels are now controlled by a beaver-baffler which runs through the culvert. Water and marsh birds are plentiful. Willow trees and marsh marigold are noted. As the trail corridor rises toward the eastern end of the stretch, woodland opens into

-122- farmland; the beginning of extensive potato country between here and the central hills near Breadalbane.

101 Twin spires of St. John the Baptist church are visible in Miscouche, and nearby is the Acadian Museum. On the way into the edge of Summerside one meets an adjoining spur trail to the north, a trail connection into Slemon Park.

106 Glenn Drive, at Linkletter Farms, is the exit for Linkletter Provincial Park to the south. The trail in the city passes two schools which make use of the trail and the Summerside Race Track (which does not) before passing close between homes in the west end. Downtown it traverses the waterfront parallel to the main roads.

109 The Summerside Railway Station has been transformed into the Summerside Library and features a large mural of rail times on its west wall. The Trans Canada Trail monument unveiled a couple of years ago stands beside the trail. Summerside is the home of the Trans Canada Trail concept because it was here that the meeting was held in 1992 that established trail as a legacy of Canada 125. On the east end of the property is the TCT Pavilion with panels indicating contributors to the trail. Just east of downtown is the railyard the railway used to assemble trains.

112 In the east end of the city, formerly Wilmot, there is a connection to the Fox Run Trail to Rotary Friendship Park in the north side of the city. Also in the Wilmot area is a connection to the College of Piping. Don’t be surprised to meet a piper on the trail!

114 Traveller’s Rest is at the next road crossing, originally the name of a public house. A photograph has survived of one of the railway “flag” stations—a small shelter where trains only stopped if a flag signal was put out for them. It could easily be replicated as a feature for the area. Just beyond that point is the area of the Summerside well field, near an extensive agricultural region. This is open country, with a few hedgerows. The latter have been diminishing unfortunately due to the use of larger agricultural equipment and fewer small farms.

117 Near New Annan the trail passes between two creeks which it follows across the highway. White campion and Goat’s beard (small seeds attract goldfinches) species occur on the edge.

North of the trail, up route 106, a marsh has been designed to treat waste water from Cavendish Farms. A small stream and wetland at the head of the Barbara Weit River are near the trail as one approaches the province’s second grain elevator. Beside it is Island Fertilizer, formerly owned by the Scales family who are prominent in the history of the province, particularly in South Freetown. Lupins, dogbane, clovers and wild rose are found on the way into Kensington.

-123- 123 The town is located around the junction of five roads originally known as Barrett’s Cross, an important railway town. The stone station was designed by architect C.B. Chappell and built in 1905 by M.F. Schurman & Co. which was first established in this area. The station is now a National Historic Site and a diesel engine and caboose are located nearby. St. Marks Anglican Church sits beside the trail as it passes out of the downtown. The church was designed by architect W.C. Harris and consecrated in 1868. Shelters are located at km. 96.9, 100.9, 108.9, 111.6, 117.0

Kensington to Fredericton 123-147 (24 km) 124 Crossing route 2, we are beside a horse paddock as the trail moves again into potato land, sometimes bordered by hedgerows but often with long vistas. A swallowtail butterfly floats amid hay-scented ferns and Solomon’s seal along the edge. Large open field areas which alternate between potatoes and grain crops line both sides from here to Emerald. There is a distant view of Summerfield Church to the northeast.

126 A trestle crossed the Blue Shank Road until it was removed a few years ago, resulting in a level crossing for the trail. The Wilmot River is a short distance east with elevated vistas north and south from the trail bridge. This is a fishing spot and with open water and bordering trees it should be a good vantage point for birding. Just down stream, the historic community of Mill Valley was named for the presence of several water-driven mills but little remains today. Across a barely-discernable divide, the trail enters the Dunk River watershed as it approaches Freetown. This is the 4th largest watershed in the province. Manitoba maple, also known as box elder are seen along the trail and during migration, Canada geese can be found in the fields.

131 Freetown was settled by United Empire Loyalists and the name Freetown speaks of their attitudes toward the land question on PEI in the mid-late 1800s. A small trail bridge over the North Brook tributary to the Dunk is known locally as Black Bridge. Milkweed is found in the area; the plant needed by the Monarch Butterfly for food and its very bitter taste which makes them unappetizing to birds. Culvert ends beside the trail indicate a construction date of 1926.

136 Emerald Junction is in Prince County while the station area and community are in Queens. Emerald was originally known as “County Line”. Emerald station has been repaired and is awaiting investment for the future. In train times there were at least three tracks out front and the “Boat Train” or the “Tignish Flier” might be waiting for connections. Train progress was reported regularly on CFCY. East of the community the landscape begins to change as trail moves toward uplands. Hedgerows contain apple, showy and American mountain ash, beaked hazelnut and a variety of berries. Reindeer lichen can be found on the ground. The trail follows the Dunk River and more woodland is in evidence. Agriculture changes with the terrain with more beef and dairy herds and crops other than potatoes.

-124- 139 Breadalbane, originally called Holmes Mills, marks the real change to the central hill country. The hollows beside the trail get deeper and the surrounding tree-covered hills higher. A restored water-driven mill is preserved at the head of Breadalbane Pond in the community. This is hardwood country with many woodlots of maple and birch and beech interspersed with views of layers of hills receding into the distance. Early in a spring morning this can be a photograph delight as the sun illuminates layers of landscape as it burns off the rising mists. If you happen to see a small round hole in the trail bed, about 3+ inches in diameter, it is likely home to an eastern chipmunk.

147 Fredericton Station is tucked quietly into this landscape. The old station sits sadly beside the trail without much purpose but is in surprisingly sturdy yet. Shelters are located at km. 126.2, 133.7, 136.6,

Fredericton to Milton 147-171 (24 km) 149 Deep woods, hedgerows and open fields are interspersed over this section through the hills and hollows of central Queens County. This is the rural landscape that showcases the many shades of green of PEI that attract our visitors. One is in the country, yet habitation is usually visible in the distance poking through the trees. The last remaining bridge over a farm road crossing exists at Hazel Grove. Black foxes have been seen in the area.

154 A steel railway bridge crosses the Hunter River which then parallels the trail into the community. Peeper frogs make their presence known here in spring. A succession of wildflowers decorates the meadow beyond. The trail rises as it reaches the former station area in the community. A connecting trail down a steep set of steps crosses the water to the Central Queens school property. There are beaver in the stream and poplar stumps over 8” in diameter adjacent to the trail. Bagnall’s Pond is visible through the trees. Birch, maples, berry trees, a few spruce, beech, alder and willow make up the mixed edge of the trail. It is glorious in mid- fall but also in early spring when colours are fresh. Fireweed is common in disturbed soil along the edge where it is known to replace nitrogen in the soil. Apple trees are evident here and there but the orchards of earlier times are mostly gone. Closer to ground level, red-berry elder, serviceberry, raspberry, blackberry and chokecherry feed a host of birds and likely a few trail users. The church at Hunter River stands out on the hill, high over the trail looking back to the west.

159 Toward Darlington, the hollows and high built-up connections become more dramatic. It is in these areas that remnant stands of old trees remain including maple, hemlock and red spruce. One beautiful stand of large sugar maple is beside the trail. Trestles were used in earlier times to cross some of the valleys but the structures were eventually filled in to provide the high vistas offered to trail users today.

-125- 164 The highest one in the province in this area is close to 80’ above adjacent fields. Cuttings were made through the tops of some hills to reduce the elevation of the rails although these spots posed snow problems in winter. Many of the cuttings had names although not all of them have been located. Included are Lower Winsloe, Argyle, Watt’s, Jewell’s and Curtis cuttings. Photos exist showing trains in them with snow banks high above the cars on each side. Strong efforts at sustainable agriculture are being made in the province but some fields are still seen in this area ploughed down the slopes rather than across. Croplands in the area are generally in either grain or potatoes. Milkweed is found here and in scattered clumps along the trail through central Queens and eastern Prince counties. It is known almost exclusively along the trail in PEI.

170 Approaching Milton is the first of two bridges over tributaries to the North River. This one, with its trail shelter displays Discovery Program panels of the Trans Canada Trail. Native upland trees, plants, birds and animals are included in the program. Wild animal scat is consistently evident on the trail and those who travel quietly or early or late in the day may be rewarded by a glimpse. The bridge, built in 1945 (if you lean over the side, it is etched into the face of the abutment) crosses one of the cold-water streams that make ideal habitat for fish. They are fed by waters kept cool by overhanging branches all summer. For the same reasons they are productive spawning areas.

172 The second bridge, this one with a concrete deck, was built in 1950 and is just a short distance from route 248 in Milton. Three trail parking areas (Milton, Hunter River and Fredericton) were constructed in 2001, the start of an on-going program. Shelters are located at km. 149.7, 153.8, 158.5, 164.5, 169.7

Milton to Tracadie 172-195 (23 km) From the trail parking area at Milton (formerly Milton Station), the trail follows hedgerows as it finds its way into the edges of the capital city. A 70’ high vista overlooks the upper North River wetlands at Coles Creek. Below on the south side can be seen abutments of a former bridge close to stream level. The railway wound into the woodland before the high crossing was built to get down to that level and a little further on, a former junction can be distinguished joining the south side of the trail. It appears to be narrow, indicating abandonment in the 1920s before the entire trail bed was widened for standard-gauge track.

176 A fireman’s training area is on the left before reaching Winsloe, one of the major areas amalgamated into the city about 1995. After crossing route 2, the trail climbs steeply toward the junction at Royalty offering views back over the community from the top. Once a very busy area with trains arriving from both ends of the Island several times daily, it is now a quiet path requiring a decision to turn right into the city, about 8 km to downtown, or left to continue toward the east end of the Island. The large station from this point still exists, now located beside route 2 near Springvale.

East of the junction, dogbane lines trail edges in season, scenting the air with a heavy perfume. Pink lady’s-slippers, the provincial flower are abundant along the south side. Parking is available off the Brackley Point Road beside the paved road parallel to the trail. This is upland

-126- on the edge of the city with some industry penetrating the countryside amid dairy farms. A mix of hardwood and softwood remain in hedgerows and woodlots providing a comfortable backdrop for the trail. Sphinx moths can be seen in blossoms along the corridor like miniature humming birds, for which they might be mistaken. The trail crosses the Winter River and one of its tributaries in the area of the Charlottetown well field. Emerging from the woods, the community of York is visible in the distance. In this area, garter snakes are seen on trail edges on warm days, especially in the early fall.

183 York is a farming community known for Vessey Seeds. The former station area is vacant but the derelict station is located on an adjacent property, an opportunity for an entrepreneur. The potato warehouse built of cinder block on the right is very old. A little further on, a pair of culvert ends denote a construction date of 1928. Wooded upland predominates in much of this district with the mix of animal species that it supports. Included are red fox and their less common black phase, red squirrel, striped skunk, hare, raccoon, ruffed grouse and smaller rodents although they are infrequently seen on the trail in daytime. Grouse are more commonly spotted in spring mating season. The black scat noted here and there on the surface is certainly evidence of mammal presence.

188 Oak trees are common along the trail approaching Bedford (formerly Bedford Station—the stopping point for trains delivering visitors to north shore hotels a century ago—imagine being picked up here by horse-drawn coaches). This road (rte. 6) is still a major access to Stanhope beach.

191 Two adjacent peat bogs on the north side are a surprise in this predominantly upland area and an adjacent picnic shelter provides a pleasant resting spot. Discovery panels have been added, overlooking the bog. A convenient campground is located on the left approaching Tracadie Cross. At the former station area, near the highway crossing, the community has developed a heritage trail leading north into the heart of Grand Tracadie, a kilometre away. This is an area of Scottish heritage of the Glenaladale settlers and their roots remain strong. Shelters are located at km. 176.2, 182.0, 185.8, 191.2, 195.1

Tracadie to Morell 195-219 (24 km) 195 Beyond Tracadie as the trail crosses route 2, it parallels the Hillsborough River and some of the marshes at its edge. The first section is wooded with a few small fields. It descends to just above river level near Scotchfort, opposite the First Nation Reserve. The Canadian Heritage River monument sits in a highway viewpoint just above the trail. It was designated in 1997, the first river in PEI to be so recognized. From here to Mount Stewart, marshland is on one or both sides. The trail has been known to be submerged in very high tides. Marsh birds like red- winged blackbirds are heard all summer long and muskrat trails can be found into the marsh on either side, especially in the early morning when still wet. Ducks nest in the area and may be seen overhead or in some of the marsh waterways. Some drowned trees are in evidence in the eastern end of this section.

-127- Mount Stewart was a very busy railway town with daily freights and passenger trains going to and from Charlottetown, Souris, Georgetown and Murray Harbour. It was a bustling centre of commerce for a large area on both sides of the county line but the demise of the industry dealt a heavy blow. It is now a quiet bedroom town that is beginning to stir in response to tourism. The trail meets in Mt. Stewart from four directions and the station area now contains the Hillsborough River Eco-Centre. Trailside Café has developed connecting loop trails to take advantage of accessible country roads. There are eagles in the area and an eagle-feeding station exists just across the trail bridge on the up-river side. Ducks Unlimited has created ponds in the wetland just east of the community and much of the riverside marsh is being considered for a Wildlife Management Area. It is hoped that will bring additional access to the marsh and wildlife viewing areas.

206 Osprey and beaver have been seen at Bambrick Creek near St. Andrews. A path connects to the site which memorializes Angus MacEachern, the first Bishop in the colony. A church, monument and pioneer graveyard are readily accessible a short distance uphill. Along this section the salt marshes were used by the earliest French settlers for marsh hay for their livestock. Marshlands produced a ready supply whereas clearing land for agriculture was very difficult. A series of dykes have been identified that settlers built to protect their crops from high tides. They used one-way gates which permitted outflow at low tides but limited flooding of the hay from the incoming tides. The river, which is a considerable distance from the trail through the marsh, swings over closer at what is known as the “S” —two tight turns in the upper wetlands.

210 In woodlands once more, the trail passes through Cherry Hill and Douglas Station. Just above Douglas is a significant bog. This is part of the wetland that feeds the Miracle Spring a short distance through the woods to the southeast, but it is not accessible from the trail. Grey jays are seen in this area and further east, usually in pairs. Blueberry fields are expanding in this region and some hedgerows along the trail have disappeared as an unfortunate (and illegal) result.

216 MacKinnon’s Pond is a very pleasant oasis and popular fishing spot near Bristol. The trail crosses it on a concrete bridge. Bristol was at one time the location of the major railway station for the immediate area. Only some foundation remains can be seen in the woods in the spring near the Settlement Road.

219 Wetlands predominate as the trail arrives in Morell, beside a new replica station building that houses an Island Welcome Centre. Shelters are located at km. 200.4, 204.0, 206.6, 219.0

Morell to Bear River 219-249 (30 km) Crossing route 2, the trail follows the Morell River to its mouth on St. Peter’s Bay. The longest remaining bridge (235’) on the trail crosses the river with fabulous views up the estuary and across the bay toward Greenwich. This was once a “swing” bridge, opening to allow vessels to come up to the village and the gears are still visible on the round pier under the western end. This is a salmon and trout fishing stream. From there, the trail parallels the edge of the bay, following the headlands and coves. The brackish water supports the blue mussel fishing

-128- industry and neat rows of white buoys dot much of the bay. Long vistas down the shoreline allow shorebird watching.

224 The next cove is the mouth of the Marie River and another bridge which Kingfishers use for fishing. The Cemetery Road crosses the trail, ending on a small peninsula where mussel mud was once collected to use for fertilizer. The railway built a short spur down to the shore for loading the mud and delivery to farms in the area. The peninsula also contains a small pond favoured for duck hunting.

227 The third bridge along the bay crosses the Midgell River, near the road. St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church has been visible for much of the trek up the edge of the bay. The trail skirts the edge of the St. Peter’s Park campground as it moves into the community. This 10 km. section is the longest stretch in the province along the water. The majority of trail is inland as railway builders sought to reduce costs by avoiding expensive bridge projects.

230 St. Peter’s Bay (originally known as Head of St. Peter’s Bay) developed on both sides of the water. A PEI Tourist Bureau is located in the former station area which supplies parking for trail users. The old railway station has been transformed into the Circle Club for senior citizens. The head of the bay is also the mouth of the St. Peter’s River and a footbridge across the river above the highway bridge makes an excellent shore– and water-bird watching area. It connects to a new commercial development called St. Peter’s Landing near the fire station. An adjoining trail will eventually connect to the Greenwich peninsula and the adjunct to the PEI National Park. The trail crosses the St. Peter’s River on an elevated bridge as it proceeds inland. Watch for marsh marigold in the ditches and wet woodlands in the early spring.

234 Crossing route 2 once again at Five Houses, the trail moves into deep woodland. Cow Creek is an extensive wetland featuring a beaver house amid drowned trees. Watch for ducks and woodpeckers. Further along is a trail shelter beside a spring used by the steam trains. The square concrete-pad foundation indicates a former water tower. Watch for ruffed grouse as you proceed through mixed woodlands, especially in spring.

243 Larkin’s Pond, between Selkirk and St. Charles, is one of the larger bodies of fresh water in the province. It was created by a dam on the Naufrage River. Geese, ducks and perhaps a loon may be seen here, it is a popular resting spot. Some wood-duck boxes are mounted at water’s edge. Watch for northern parula warblers in the low trees along the bank of the trail.

249 Bear River was named for the black bears found in the area a century ago but the last one was caught in the 1920s. Shelters are located at km. 222.2, 226.5, 230.5, 236.4, 242.9

Bear River to Elmira 249-273 (24 km) Spectacular hardwood land is a feature of the stretch from Bear River to Harmony. Maples predominate and the ideal trail season is the middle of September. With upland habitat comes upland species of birds and animals. Owls have been seen along this section of trail and lots of ruffed grouse. Not far from Bear River, trail bisects a peat bog and passes a blueberry barren. More hardwood is found near New Zealand, a community named in the middle of the 19th century when settlers were leaving PEI for the south Pacific islands.

-129- 258 Harmony Junction was originally a turning point on the railway at the head of the Souris River for the section down to the Town of Souris. It is now a beautiful branch line through the Grant Road Woodlot and overlooking the Souris River. The section east to Elmira was added in 1912. A piped aquifer is located beside the trail and flows most of the year as long as groundwater levels are high. It was used to refill steam trains after making the grade up from Souris. McVarish’s Pond is adjacent to the trail at the junction and ducks are found here. A parking area built beside the road contains a trail information plaza. The project features symbol and location signage to help direct travellers to accommodation and food services. Townshend Woodlot, a provincial natural area is located north on the Souris Line Road. The New Harmony Road to the south and the Glen Road to the north, both Scenic Heritage Roads, are close by the intersection of the trail with route 304 at New Harmony.

262 Fountain Head Spring is just off the trail at the next intersection with a clay road. This spring and others feed an extensive wetland. Water here is flowing east and north to North Lake Creek. Wetlands and mixed woods alternate from here to the end of the route. Wood harvesting is important to the area and most woodlots are accessible from the Tarantum Road which parallels the trail a short distance to the south.

265 At East Baltic, Dixon’s Pond is just north of the trail but not visible in summer. A trail project in future will thin brush on that side. This is where you can exit for Red Point Provincial Park or Basin Head Provincial Park to the South, or Baltic Bog to the north. At Alder Creek the trail is high above a stream valley and in a couple of seasons, beavers blocked the culvert under the trail, creating an extensive new lake but at the same time threatening to wash out a half kilometre of trail bed.

273 Elmira is the end of the line although history records one train that did not quite stop there and ended up across the highway. The station is restored as a Railway Museum, a fitting end to the trail. Rails are still in place for about 1 km including a “T” junction used for turning the engines. A miniature railway that carries passengers was developed in woodland adjacent to the station in 2003 for a real train experience and an extensive model railway operates in one of the freight sheds. Elmira is about 9 km from the East Point Light House, the best site in the province for viewing sea birds. Shelters are located at km. 250.7, 257.4, 261.6, 267.2, 273.4 End of the trail, Elmira

The Branch Trails: Branch trails are built on the original branch lines of the PEI Railway. Some of them like branches to Charlottetown (8 km), Georgetown (39 km) and Souris (9 km) were a part of the line that first opened in May 1875. Other branches came later, including Emerald to Port Borden in 1884, Charlottetown to Murray Harbour in 1905, Cardigan to Montague 1906, and Harmony Junction to Elmira in 1912. Almost all of them have been developed into first-quality trails that offer the peace of the countryside to the photographer, the painter and the nature-lover.

Emerald to Borden-Carleton 0-18 (18 km) 0 Emerald Junction was built in 1884 when a branch line was constructed to connect the railway to the iceboat service operating out of Cape Traverse. The Lansdowne Hotel there served those waiting for transportation. The federal government took over the iceboat service as the

-130- essential winter link to the mainland at that time. The junction is about 200 metres west of Emerald and straddles the county line. The branch runs north-south between large acreages of cropland that are planted in potatoes, usually every third season. It is a pleasant section of the trail with hedgerows, frequent vistas and farm cross-roads.

1 A raised trestle bridge crosses the Dunk River, a narrow but fast-flowing stream at this point. It was a destination for Sunday picnic excursions on the trains in the 1800s. At the south end of the bridge is a large cluster of milkweed, standing 5’ high with large pink florets on top. Watch for sphinx moths, looking like tiny hummingbirds. Pheasants, grouse, chipmunks and foxes are possible sightings and the mix of berry trees on the edge is popular with small birds.

4 Newton. Scales Pond Park is nearby where the Scales family generated hydroelectric power in the early 20th century. The dam remains and a museum is open showing some of the equipment used.

6 Kinkora. Large ponds (one a lagoon) and the distant steeple of St. Malachy’s Church indicate the approach to Kinkora. The church was designed by W.C.Harris, opened in 1901. South of the community a small bog on the left is a Provincial Natural Area with interesting plants and wildflowers. Watch for white campion, dogbane, milkweed, water parsnip, horsetail and various ferns. Old man’s beard grows on snag trees near the bog. Soldier lichen and striped maple trees are in the woodland (look for vertical lines on the bark/ large goosefoot shaped leaves).

11 Albany. Across the highway, a small stream flows under the trail in scrubby woodland. Hawthorne, wild pea and willow are noted nearby. Albany is named for the Earl of Albany, a son of Queen Victoria. Just past a large warehouse is a recently-built parking area for trail use. The trail crosses two roads, including Route 112 by the post office as it again moves into woodland. Cinnamon and interrupted ferns, among others, line the route. Several stands of milkweed are found on the edge of the trail bed. Old culvert-ends have been turned to face the trail to show dates from the 1920s, the decade when the entire railway was widened to accommodate standard-gauge trains and the narrow gauge disappeared into history. Somewhere near the McCains Plant nearby, the original rail branch connected to Cape Traverse. It changed in 1917 with the help of German prisoners of war when the ferry terminal was created at Port Borden.

16 Borden-Carleton. Carleton was named for Sir Guy Carleton, Governor in the NB-PEI region in the 1700s and Borden was named for Sir , Prime Minister when the new terminal was built. Many small birds enjoy the young trees in the hedgerows approaching the community. Note the Common tansy plants behind the box plant with their golden button-like flowers.

18 TCH Borden-Carleton. The trail parallels the road through the industrial park. Crossing the highway at the traffic lights it continues behind the ESSO station and becomes a wide boardwalk between Gateway Village and the community with a vista toward the Confederation Bridge. Shelters are located at km 5.9, 9.7, 14.3, 14.9

-131- Royalty Junction to Charlottetown 0-8 (8 km) 0 Royalty Junction. Charlottetown was on a branch line of the railway and the last station was at the terminus near the waterfront. Links to steamship lines and the large maintenance shed made the junction the busiest in the province with trains arriving from all quarters; freights, passenger, mixed and specials. The route begins high above Winsloe before starting down through wooded areas and interspersed fields. Farm buildings are on the horizon to the north as the trail approaches an industrial park.

2 Sherwood Road. Two small rail tank cars are parked trailside behind a construction company. The cars came from Port Borden at the ferry terminal. On the opposite side of the trail is Sherwood Cemetery where, years ago, special funeral trains delivered mourners and remains to the site for services. The train moved out to the junction to turn around during services and arrived back to take people to town. Crossing the road the trail passes peacefully through the edge of an industrial park amid scrap metal, heavy machinery, large piles of sand and gravel.

4 Charlottetown by-pass Highway. The trail deviates from the former rail route to allow trail users to cross safely at the traffic lights and quickly departs again from the busy roadway. It follows a ridge of land through a thin hedgerow of trees overlooking a long field and the highway in the distance.

5 Charlottetown Mall. Leaving the trees, the trail is in the middle of a wide green strip from here almost to the end. The Charlottetown Mall provides parking and good trail access. A small creek has its origins in a low area beyond the mall and flows under University Avenue, near Charlottetown Rural High School and into the harbour. Red foxes have been spotted in the area. The trail is uphill for a short distance to the University of PEI and an interpretation sign is located at the intersection of a cross-trail connecting to Mount Edward Road. This is a busy trail area used by students just as it was when they travelled from downtown or in from the country daily by train.

6 Belvedere Avenue. The Farmer’s Market on the corner provides another trail access point and a cross-trail from their back parking lot again connects to Mount Edward Road. Behind the parking lot, a Ducks Unlimited pond has been built near the trail. The route is on a raised bed between Hawthorn and other berry trees which provide early blossoms in spring and protect and feed a host of small birds. The bed parallels long fields of the Experimental Farm, a property being carefully scrutinized for future use. The original superintendent’s house, a large white 2-storey, visible from the trail is home to Island Nature Trust and Island Trails. Still on the fringe of a commercial area, the trail crosses Allen Street as the buildings begin to close in. 7 St. Peter’s Road. The old 1911 stone jail building is on the left just before crossing the road, now converted for commercial purposes. A green strip of land curves through mixed residential and commercial on the other side, a strip that once contained more than a single track. This is on the edge of an older residential section of the city. At the foot of the section, just before crossing Kensington Road, an interpretation plaque offers some history of the original railway development. This was the location of Charlottetown’s first railway station. From this point the rail bed was later

-132- built across a marshy area beside the Hillsborough River to get to the city waterfront. Land behind it was gradually filled in.

8 Trans Canada Trail Pavilion. The trail head in Charlottetown is in the Joseph A. Ghiz Memorial Park where the pavilion is located. The city park has been adopted and developed by the IODE and renamed in a fitting tribute to Premier Ghiz, whose government initiated the development of the Confederation Trail across the Island. Shelters are located at km 6, 7, 8

Mount Stewart to Georgetown 0-39 (39 km) 0 Leaving the junction in the centre of Mount Stewart, the trail passes quickly from a small residential area to the Hillsborough River, the Island’s first Canadian Heritage River. A causeway/bridge crosses just upstream from the highway bridge offering an excellent vista upriver. The water is tidal and the direction of flow changes every 5½ hours. Watch the sky for eagles or osprey as both hunt the estuary. Crossing two roads on the east side, the trail follows but dips below the level of route 22 in the woodland. The mouth of the Pisquid River is to the south and the trail reaches river level where a bridge on the Murray Harbour branch crossed before it was burned in 1993. Ducks Unlimited are actively protecting this estuary and parts of the marsh have been designated a Wildlife Management Area.

5 Again crossing route 22, the trail moves inland to wooded hedgerows and then woodland with large softwoods on both sides. A narrow clay driveway crossing is the access to Pisquid Pond, a private wild rice operation.

12 Peakes, once the railway centre for the region where farm produce left for market and machinery and supplies arrived. There were three stock yards and a post office there at one time, pulp was shipped from a local mill. Traveling the back roads today, it seems all roads in central Kings County lead there. The trail crosses Silver Stream, a tributary of the Morell River flowing out of Mooney’s Pond nearby. The local population is centered today in St. Teresa, the adjacent community. The trail follows the north boundary of Peakes Tee Golf Course.

14 St Cuthberts RC Church comes into view in the centre of the community along with the school and community centre. A memorial garden has been opened in front of the latter with interpretation panels on the area. Leaving the community, the trail once again enters woodland, passing a pine plantation and a small concrete bridge (dated 1925) before reaching the back of warehouses at MacKenna Bros. Farms in 48 Road. The railway had been extensively used for shipping potatoes.

20 Crossing the 48 Road, the trail enters a large and varied wetland. MacKenna’s Pond is in the middle surrounded by freshwater marsh, cat-tails and drowned trees ideal for a wide variety of animals, plants, birds, amphibians and insects. Beaver, Canada geese, Kingfishers, fringed orchids and a variety of dragon flies are some of the larger species. In the lower end near New Perth station Road, Showy lady’s-slipper decorates the wet trail fringe in early July.

-133- 24 The trail emerges from woodland at the Collins Road north of New Perth. An octagonal water tower foundation is still to be found on the edge of the trail at km. 24.7, a remnant of the days of steam engines before 1949. This is the Cardigan River watershed and the river is eventually seen down a steep bank on the north side of the trail near the Cardigan Fish Hatchery. No direct trail has yet been established across to the facility but the rearing ponds and interpretation centre are open to visitors. One very deep ravine that the trail crosses nearby contains old-growth forest species including hemlock.

27 The trail parallels the unseen river as it crosses the route 4 highway and between the hedge rows into the village of Cardigan. It passes between two industrial buildings, a feed mill and a bearing and steel operation just prior to crossing Station Street. The old station has been moved a short distance but is visible to the left across the road, having been recycled as a craft shop. The building on the corner was the former station master’s house. A community park behind the house adjoins the trail, providing a rest stop and shelter.

30 The trail crosses the Wharf Road; the main street that crosses the river. This is the exit point for the waterfront. Woodland and then open fields border the route. There is a glimpse of the Cardigan River above the trees in the distance.

31 The trail divides just before the road crossing, the right fork turning south for Montague and the left fork continuing east to the county capital of Georgetown. Bayberry is prevalent in the area, indicating a change in soil closer to the shore. Past the other corner of the junction is a Provincial Natural Area protecting some woodland. One species of tree there, the white oak, was brought from England about 1820 by James Robertson, an early settler. He had worked at Kew Gardens and brought many seeds to his adopted country. A formal English garden was at one time located at his home, later to become the parks office at Brudenell Provincial Park. The entrance to the park is visible close by at the next intersection, the Emmerson Road

33 Past Emmerson Road, the trail passes forest plantations of white and red pine and tamarack, crossing a couple of local roads and then Route 3 into older forest as it edges closer to the Montague River. More white oak, grey birch and alternate-leaved dogwood are present. This section is all within the “Royalty” attached originally to Georgetown to provide crop and pasture land to the town settlers, although the concept did not function well. A large house seen over the trees was called the Highlands, the summer home of Premier D.A. MacKinnon early in the 20th century.

38 Emerging from the woodland there is an open vista of Georgetown and part of its harbour. To the immediate right is Parker’s Point looking across the river to St. Andrews Point on the south side. Panmure Island is in the distance. A ferry service operated from Georgetown across the Montague River up to the 1950s. Near shore, rows of mussel buoys dot the sparkling water with various species of gulls, including less common ones like Bonaparte’s, Glaucous, and Iceland. The trail ends at a full-size replica of the 1903 railway station, built in 2005. It houses a

-134- restaurant and interpretation centre that tells the story of the community’s transportation history. Two blocks east are the A.A. MacDonald Memorial Gardens (a Canadian Senator born at Brudenell Point) and several historic structures. Shelters are located at km 4.8, 13.2, 26.2, 29.4, 30.5, 34.3, 38.2

Cardigan Junction to Montague 0-10 (10 km) 0 From the junction, the other branch turns south. Old man’s beard grows on large spruce trees along the downhill run to a grain elevator beside Route #3. Across the road, there is a long stretch beside occasional farm fields near the Brudenell River. An old apple orchard set into the woods is a remnant of once plentiful orchards on most farms.

4 Brudenell Bridge is the highest bridge on the trail system with long views up and down the estuary. It replaced an early trestle built in 1905. Bald eagles live close by and hunt the river. Kingfishers and herons have been seen from the high vantage point.

5 The Roma Point Road is the exit for a recent park developed to celebrate the history of the Jean Pierre Roma settlement of 1732. Two large buildings reflecting 18th century French design were built in early 2004 in the first phase. Historic and nature trails are in place with interpretation. Past a fertilizer plant at the Robertson Road, the trail approaches and then follows the Montague River into the town of Montague.

10 Between cottages and farm land, this is a very pleasant path, ending in a recently-developed waterfront park and marina. The 1906 railway station has been restored for a concession, information and service building. The Garden of the Gulf Museum occupies the old stone post office building just across the river. Shelters are located at km 0.3, 6.1, 9.9

Harmony Junction to Souris 0-9 (9 km) 0 Harmony Junction was originally a turning point on the railway at the head of the Souris River for the section down to the Town of Souris.

2 The hardwood area north of Grant Road is the edge of Grant Road Woodlot, a Forestry Division managed recreation area. The trail crosses the access path to the ski chalet, visible to the east. Look for Discovery Panel signage.

7 At the first shelter stop, St. Mary’s Church sits on the eastern horizon above the trail. The 1902 gothic stone structure was designed by William Critchlow Harris and rebuilt in 1930 after a disastrous fire in 1928

-135- 8 Entering Souris, the trail is high above the estuary at the mouth of the Souris River to the west. A large community park in the town was the former railway terminus. Main Street is an access to services including the restored Matthew-MacLean building which serves as a Visitor Centre.

9 Breakwater Street. The trail in Souris ends at the waterfront near the ferry terminal to the Magdalen Islands. Shelters are located at km 6.6, 7.7, 9.1

Iona to Murray Harbour 20-55 (35 km) (Note: 29 km. of the rail bed was developed from Iona to Murray River in late 2004 joining the short section built previously from Murray River to Murray Harbour. Another 4 km. of new trail connects the rail bed to the Visitor Centre in Wood Islands. A railway station, built on the model of the original one at Wood Islands. was built at the Plough the Waves site during that winter.) Further sections of this branch are expected to be developed to connect Iona to Charlottetown and to Mount Stewart.)

20 Iona. Historically the rural community of Montague Cross was settled by Irish immigrants in the 1830s. The name was changed to Iona in 1901. The railway branch from Charlottetown to Murray Harbour was completed in 1905 and the original railway station in Iona was named Fodhla Station after a poetic name for Ireland. The trail from Iona runs along a hardwood ridge between the headwaters of the Montague River to the north and the Pinette River to the south. At railway grades, the trail changes from an elevation of 250’ down to sea level over 16 kilometres. Maple, yellow birch and beech trees provide a comfortable canopy to Ocean View and Gairloch. Then the canopy begins to change to occasional majestic pines and more spruce. These lands were originally settled in 1803 by Scottish highlanders brought over by Lord Selkirk, for whom the Selkirk Road (nearby) is named.

29 Melville. The Melville Bridge is one of the larger railway structures in the province, high above the Flat River. It was reconstructed by the Military Engineers in 2002 under a program sponsored by the Trans Canada Trail Foundation and a local initiative spearheaded by Donald Deacon. The pond on the north side supplied power for Beaton’s Mills, the name by which the local post office was known until it closed in the late 1960s. A trail parking lot is located in the former Melville Station area. Crossing several roads, the route reaches Belle River. A small grassy clearing on the south side is the location of the former Belle River station.

36 Selkirk Road. The trail follows Douse’s Road to a crossing at Selkirk Road (Route 23). A large millpond across the road on the Belle River once served MacLeods Mill. Ducks use the pond and Canada Geese are known to breed there, perhaps on the small wooded island. The trail follows the pond and a shelter provides a viewpoint. Another railway station was located on the southwest corner at the crossing the Wood Islands Road (km 36.9).

37 Junction. The junction with a new route down to Wood Islands is located just beyond the Belle River crossing where a large two-chamber stone culvert passes under the trail. Note that

-136- this is the only branch of the trail featuring stone culverts, original from 1905. Ducks and herons are commonly sited on the edges of the river, north of the trail.

38 Wood Islands Bog. East of the junction, the trail passes through bog for 500 metres. Small trees manage to survive in the acidic wetland. The moss-like surface is raised above the trail in places but a metal rod is easily pushed deep into the surface, finding no bottom at four feet. There is no obvious pond but a wide variety of wetland plants adorn the surface. An old railway culvert at the edge of the next road crossing is dated 1930, the latest date seen on these structures. It marks the year that the rail bed was widened in this area to accommodate standard-gauge track.

42 Hopefield is split by the county line, as the road name indicates. Entering Kings County, the trail is in thick mixed woodland, sometimes in cuttings and occasionally high above one of the creeks leading into the Murray River system. It passes through a blueberry operation and plunges again into the woods.

47 The trail emerges in Murray River with a glimpse of the golf course to the north and passes close behind several homes. MacLures Pond is in the distance on the upper part of the river and Murray River Pines, a Provincial Natural Area, is on the far side. The very large flowering plants (reaching eight feet high) so thick on the edge of the trail in wet areas, are Angelica (also called wild celery). Parking is available at Main St., beside the post office. The old rail station still exists behind the post office, quite visible from the trail. Murray River was named for James Murray, the first English governor appointed in Quebec after Wolfe defeated Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham. Samuel Holland named many features after prominent figures in the 1760s during the initial land survey. Beyond the gazebo shelter at Main St., the trail immediately is in mixed woodland which is lined with Lupins in the spring. It has a full leafy canopy and is documented as an excellent area for birding, especially for small species like warblers. The first crossroad is Pioneer Cemetery Road, named for the small early cemetery, easily reached from the trail on the south side. The second crossing is Route 18 where the last tragic railway accident happened in the late 1940s. The regular train hit a bus and four people were killed.

51 A small bridge in the middle of Jordan’s Pond provides a pleasant viewpoint. From here the trail is never far from the highway, although it cannot be seen except at crossroads leading into Abney, Lot 64. The origin of the name is uncertain but the community was called Toronto in the mid 1800s.

55 Murray Harbour. Quiet woodland prevails until the Station Road crossing at Murray Harbour, where trail parking is available. A former “T” for turning train engines is visible in the woods with careful inspection. This was not quite the end of the railway branch and a recent project has extended the trail two hundred metres into a former rail terminus beside the South River. The foundation of an old coal shed (later an engine shed) has been reused in a park setting to support an open longhouse with historical interpretive panels. A large gazebo overlooks the

-137- river near where a large railway roundhouse once stood beside a spot known as “the birches”. Shelters are located at km 21.9, 26.4, 29.6, 36.4, 38.1, 43.1, 48.9, 55.4

Wood Islands Junction to Wood Islands 0-4 (4 km) 0 Turning south on the new trail bed, the path is in softwood land, predominately spruce but with fir and tamarack. The latter is colourful in late fall. The trail skirts fingers of wetland and moves into upland terrain featuring Acadian species like white pine, hemlock, yellow birch and sugar maple. This section of trail, not being former rail bed, follows the general slopes of the land and skirts the large tree-trunks.

2 Below Grey’s Road, the trail levels out in mixed woodland, passing a beautiful small pond created in a former gravel pit which is an active skating area in winter. It is a peaceful spot with lots of birdlife. Watch for mallards and Canada geese.

4 The trail section ends at a full-scale replica railway station much like the one that sat beside Wood Islands Road not that many years ago. The freight shed nearby is an original from Belle River. The station is sited between the Visitor Centre and the liquor store at the Plough the Waves Centre, near the Wood Islands Ferry terminal. Shelters are located at km 3.2, 4.2.

CYCLING: GENERAL

WHEN YOU'RE GENTLY PEDALLING down a tranquil, historic road that was carved from the red clay and hardwoods well before the first bicycle was even invented, it's hard to imagine that over the next hill you could find a cross country trail that gives a whole new meaning to the word extreme.

Welcome to Prince Edward Island, a place that sometimes seems to have been made just for cycling. No matter what your game -- quiet drives in the country that provide frame after frame of breathtaking photographs, day-long tours that test skill and endurance, or bone-shaking terrain that will challenge both bike and rider, PEI is the destination of choice for die-hard and casual cyclists alike.

For touring enthusiasts, just get on your bike and start pedalling. The rolling hills, lush farmlands and postcard coastlines that keep our visitors coming back for more will reveal to you a whole new appreciation for your two-wheeling hobby.

The Confederation Trail, the Prince Edward Island leg of the TransCanada Trail, runs tip-to-tip from Tignish to Elmira and totals 400 km of excellent rolled stone dust surface for cycling and hiking. Frequent villages along the way offer cyclists a convenient selection of accommodations, food and services. See the Confederation Trail section in the Info Book.

Take a trip back in time on one of 16 designated Scenic Heritage Roads and experience Prince Edward Island the way it used to be. These clay roads meander through farmland and woodland and provide an excellent opportunity to experience nature at its best. Steep hills and wet areas are common, and these roads should be avoided in the spring when snow and frost

-138- are still melting and mud is a problem. Keep in mind that many of these routes are still used by farmers with large machinery and caution is advised.

The Island's six demonstration woodlots also feature some challenging terrain. Although they weren't designed specifically for off-road bicycles, they do cover some hilly countryside and provide worthwhile lessons about the province's natural history. There are some very steep grades on most of the trails and riders should also look out for huge tree stumps, paths that remain under water all summer, marshes that seem intent on swallowing your bike rather than letting you pass, windfalls that crop up without notice and awesome downhills that will demand either precision driving or some serious aches and pains.

Prince Edward Island National Park offers many cycling options , including two paved multi-use paths that run the length of the park along the North Shore from Cavendish to North Rustico , and from Bradley to Dalvay. Unpaved cycling trails within the National Park include the Homestead Trail in Cavendish , the trail system linking Cavendish Grove to the beach and campground , the Woodlands Trail in Dalvay , and the Tlaqatik Trail in Greenwich. Please refer to the Prince Edward Island National Park Visitor’s Guide or website at www.pc.gc.ca/pei for more information.

For further details on recommended trails there are two handy pocket guides available.

Nature Trails of Prince Edward Island, published by Ragweed, The Island Publisher, and written by well known environmentalists J. Dan McAskill and Kate MacQuarrie, describes about 66 biking, hiking and walking trails. Although bicycles are not permitted on all of these, the book clearly indicates which ones are accessible. As well, the publication lets you know where you can find brochures on specific trails and which of the paths are best for specific types of wildlife viewing.

The Prince Edward Island Cycling Guide was written by Denis Beaudry and published by Veloaisis. It is most useful to touring enthusiasts and includes some excellent tips on cycling with small children.

Nature Trails is available at most Island bookstores and through the Island Nature Trust in Charlottetown. The Cycling Guide can be found at selected bookstores and at cycle stores. ~ Refer to the Visitors Guide on Cycling and Tours.

-139- SCENIC HERITAGE ROADS

NORTH CAPE COASTAL DRIVE The ‘John Joe’ Road A pleasant rural lane where fields of grain and potatoes alternate with woodland to form the border, this patchwork of farm and forest creates ideal conditions for the ruffed grouse and grey partridge. Corn-lily, bracken fern and trillium are found under the tree cover. This road has two local names, the John Joe Road and the Hackney Road. The former is after a man by the name of John Joe Gallant, a past resident of the road, the latter from a Mr. Hackney who is believed to have been involved in its construction around 1912-14. Prior to this time the road was a cart track that led to a homestead in the wood. Traces of an old stagecoach road that stretched from the Kelly Road toward Alberton are found near the southern end.

LOCATION: Officially unnamed but locally known as the John Joe Road, this trail runs north from the Kelly Road (Rte 142) for 2.2 km to meet Rte. 136 near Mill River Resort.

GREEN GABLES SHORE The County Line Road Open farmland and mixed woodland lead the way over rolling landscape to a very high "magnetic" hill, the summit of which provides a spectacular view of the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the north and rolling hills to the south. Erosion and yearly scraping have literally carved this road several feet into the landscape. Rum runners, en route to Kensington, transported their "cargo" along this secluded trail risking the sharp incline of the hill. It is reported to be so steep at the base that a wagon driver with a full load of grain could touch the ears of his horses while sitting in his seat! The rugged hill provides a challenge to the traveller as well as wonderful vistas for sightseeing, while the woodland invites exploration on foot.

LOCATION: In the Darnley-Seaview area, this road runs south for 4.5 km from Rte. 103 to Rte. 101 near Irishtown, along the border of Prince and Queens Counties. Note: this road begins and ends on short paved sections.

The Millman Road was one of the first scenic heritage roads to be designated. A wonderful view of the surrounding countryside is provided from a high hill near the northern end. A variety of hardwood and softwood forms the border with branches reaching up and over to create a lovely canopy through which the sun dapples onto the red soil. In spring, sweet-scented apple blossoms create a profusion of bloom, attracting not only humans, but a variety of birds as well. In 1855, the Irishtown Anglican Church was erected. A nearby school and general store followed approximately 20 years later. These were the places upon which life outside the farm focussed. Horse-drawn wagons and sleighs transported those in need of spiritual comfort, education or local "exchange" at the country store. Visions of children rambling along and of young lovers strolling come to mind.

LOCATION: North of Kensington, the Millman Road runs south from Rte. 101 in Irishtown for 2 km to meet with Rte. 231 in Burlington. Travelling from north to south provides a good vantage point.

The Perry Road Carved through the hilly terrain of Central Queens, this narrow passage is heavily bordered by softwood and various hardwoods. Bushes and ground vegetation encroach upon the road, providing a secure habitat for wildlife. Exploring on foot you may discover the

-140- provincial flower, the pink Lady's Slipper, and chanterelle mushrooms. (Please do not pick.) This road is one of those which have been officially designated under the Planning Act. It is reported that, during construction of the road, the government of the day was defeated and work was halted. Land for this first section of the road had been purchased from a landowner of the appropriate political stripe. Land required for completion was acquired, on the opposite side of the road's intended line, from a landowner sympathetic to the new government. This created a "dog leg" or "crook" midway along the road. On foot or by vehicle, bring along a camera or binoculars and catch the flora and fauna that abound here.

LOCATION: Near St. Patrick's in central Queens, the Perry Road runs south from Rte. 239 for 2 km to meet Rte. 228, near Hazelgrove.

The Princetown-Warburton Road An air of seclusion and wilderness prevails on this steeply hilled and winding road which has been designated as a scenic heritage road. The high hills provide a panoramic view of the surrounding farmland. The road wanders through a border of woodlands, hedgerows and pastoral landscape. The Warburton Road dates to 1898, while the Princetown Road, circa 1771, is one of the most famous early roads. Once the main artery connecting Charlottetown to Princetown, the original capital of Prince County, its use has decreased over the years. (Hikers, watch for the section east of the intersection of the two roads.) A fascination and familiarity with hills and hollows has often prompted locals to give them names. Interesting examples here include Inch Hill, Mile Hill, Burnt Hill and Marianne's Hollow.

Location: Sections of the Princetown and Warburton Roads form a "Y" shape covering 7.8 km. From Rte. 239 near Millvale the Warburton Road travels south to Fredericton Station. The adjoining section of the Princetown Road runs west from the Warburton Road toward South Granville.

SOUTH SHORE The Currie-Farrar Road Bordered by spruce, hemlock, sugar maple and beech that extends from hedgerow to a light canopy, this road features wonderful visual variety. Rose bushes, bracken ferns and mosses are found scattered along the roadside and within the woodland. These low bushes provide protective nesting and roosting sites for birds common to the area. The high hills of the Currie provide excellent vantage points for viewing the surrounding countryside and Northumberland Strait. The Farrar, bordered by a hedgerow and a small canopy, is somewhat lower and less winding.

The Currie and Farrar families were property owners along these routes for several generations. The roads have been named for these early settlers. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the area was actively farmed. Horses and wagons were used for hauling wood and dressed meats to market. Although the farmsteads are gone, reminders of early rural life are easily embraced on a drive through this country lane.

Location: The Currie Road extends southwesterly from Rte. 249 at Green Bay to Rte. 237 (Appin Road). The Farrar Road begins almost immediately, extending from Rte. 237 to Rte. 246 for a total of 6.7 km. The Junction Road - Handsome stands of hardwood and softwood, including maple, beech, yellow birch, spruce and hemlock, provide an appealing backdrop for this pleasant lane in

-141- Central Queens. Just off the road near the southern end is a mature hemlock stand. Some of the trees are estimated to be ninety years old. Wildflowers, including trillium, Lady's Slippers and Sweet William (escapees from an old garden) bloom among the mosses. In the late 1800's to the early 1900's sawmills were located near the northern end of this road. After hauling wood to the mill, travellers, at the first sign of dusk, would hasten down the Junction Road to avoid the place known as "Spooky Hollow". Locals were well aware of the mysterious events rumoured to have occurred here. From the first buds of spring through the splendour of autumn, this road provides a tranquil drive or stroll. Winter recreation such as sleigh riding, skiing and snowshoeing are also popular pursuits.

LOCATION: This road is part of Rte. 227 near Hartsville. Entering from Rte .225, the designated portion begins 420 metres from Rte. 225 and extends northwest for 1.7 km.

The MacArthur Road Retaining the rustic charm of a century or more ago, the MacArthur Road twists and turns uphill and down through beautiful stands of hardwood and softwood and agricultural fields. Sunlight filters through a protective umbrage of maples, birch, pine and spruce. Old apple orchards, the remnants of abandoned farmsteads, add their blooms in spring. An assortment of wildlife, especially perching birds, find this type of habitat irresistible. This road has received protection through designation as a scenic heritage road. Prosperous farmland once surrounded the road and, in the mid- to late-1800s, a sawmill and furniture factory were located here. Now officially known as Peter's Road, it has become known locally as the MacArthur Road after families of that name who settled here. Near the turn of the century, diphtheria swept through this small community. A pioneer cemetery known as the MacArthur Cemetery, on the west side near the top of the hill, bears sad witness to the fate of families stricken by this dreaded disease. A sense of history, both human and natural, prevails on this pleasant country lane.

LOCATION: Near Strathgartney Provincial Park this section of Rte. 244 begins 700 metres north of the Trans Canada Highway and extends to Elmwood for a distance of approximately 2 km.

The McKenna-Appin Road The upper arms of the road travel through a tremendous variety of hardwoods and softwoods that form a light to extensive canopy. This provides a wonderful "cooling" effect especially enjoyed by farmers leaving hot dusty fields. Ground vegetation, including wood ferns and fire weeds, competes for space along the roadside. The southern section is somewhat less wooded but is quite winding and hilly, with views of open farmland and spruce stands. The Appin Road was built in 1862. Its name probably is derived from Strath of Appin, Perthshire, or Appin, Argyleshire, Scotland. The McKenna Road, constructed in 1904, is named for Hugh McKenna, a property owner in the area. It now serves as a shortcut from Emyvale to Rte. 246.

These roads form part of an interesting network of clay lanes in southwestern Queens County offering a wide variety of bordering vegetation -- a wonderful place for a peaceful ramble through the countryside.

Location: Two roads form a rough "T" shape in southwestern Queens County. The northern section of the Appin Road (Rte. 237) reaches almost to Rte. 249. The McKenna Road runs from the Appin Road in a westerly direction to Rte. 246, forming the left arm of the "T".

-142- Walls Road Open farmlands encompass either end of this variable lane until it breaks into a lovely woodland scene where the road crosses the Dunk River. Spruce, birch, pin cherry and alders surrounding this area and common wildflowers enhance the picture. Upon closer exploration you may discover the provincial flower, the pink Lady's Slipper. Common to the area are muskrats, grey partridge and red fox. The rare but showy bald eagle have also been spotted along here.

Officially this road is unnamed, but it is well known in the area as Wall's Road. About 1868 the road and Wall's Mills, which included a saw and grist mill, were constructed. A shingle mill was added by 1880. By 1900 the mills had ceased operation; the only reminder of their existence is the flattened area near the river which now provides a great spot for picnics. Nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts will appreciate this road/river combination, as will those seeking winter recreation such as skiing or snowshoeing.

LOCATION: West of Scales Pond Park in the Freetown area, Wall's Road runs south from Rte. 113 to Rte. 111 for 1.5 km.

POINTS EAST COASTAL DRIVE The County Line Road A drive through the County Line Road offers many vantage points for viewing the surrounding countryside. Mid way along the road is a small but lovely hardwood stand. This road has been designated as a scenic heritage road. In earlier years horse-drawn carriages transported passengers along this lane, at that time bordered by beautiful hardwood stands that arched overhead to form a delightful canopy. Although the area has changed little over the years, recent widening of the roadbed has resulted not only in a decrease in aesthetic appeal but a loss for the wildlife that once found refuge in the trees and surrounding vegetation. Perhaps, through time and proper management, this road will regain its former splendour. The County Line Road derives its name form the fact that it is on the boundary of the two counties, Kings and Queens.

LOCATION: The designated portion of this road (Rte. 325) begins at Caledonia at the intersection of Rte. 315 and runs north for 2.6 km until it intersects with Rte. 317.

The Glen Road- This rich, red clay passage wanders through a bright green "glen" where wonderful woodland and pastoral farmland greet the traveller. Just off this road on the eastern end is a large American elm believed to be the largest tree on PEI. It is reputed to be so big that two men cannot reach each other's hands around its base. This was once a prosperous farming community with a mill and two blacksmith shops. Fine horses and driving wagons were status symbols the residents proudly displayed along this route. Today activity in the area centres around a shingle mill and farming. Stories of fairies abounded (and still linger) in the area, and children would quietly await the appearance of these magical creatures. Nellie MacPhee, a lifelong resident, is well remembered for her fortune-telling abilities. Clinging to her beloved homestead to the end, she was the last person to live in "the Glen".

LOCATION: Northeast of Souris, this road is the section of Rte. 303 that runs west from the Baltic Road (Rte. 302, through Glencorradale or "the Glen" as it is known locally, to the New Harmony Road.

-143- Jack’s Road A narrow, winding trail where time seems to stand still, this rustic passage is a gentle reminder of simpler times past. Leafy arches are created by a border of hardwoods such as sugar maple, beech and birch. Stately hemlocks appear as one rounds a bend, adding dimension and depth. Mosses form a textured carpet under the tree cover. The pervading silence is broken only by the trilling of songbirds and the trickling of nearby streams. Muskrats, hares and red fox find this secluded wood an ideal location to feed and raise their families. Jack MacPherson owned a large farm to the north of the road in the early 1900s. Locals travelled the road to get to his place and, consequently, it became known and has remained Jack's Road.

LOCATION: Near the south shore and Wood Islands this road runs from Rte. 1 in Flat River to Rte. 207 for a distance of 4.1 m.

The Klondyke Road Uphill and down, the Klondyke cuts a sturdy swath through a border of sugar maple, birch and spruce. Foxes, raccoons and hares have a secure corridor amid the trees and lower vegetation as they scurry from one woodland thicket to another. In the early 1900's, sawmills and several homesteads were located here. Colonel Weatherbie, known in military circles as the "Father of Canadian Munitions" due to his expertise in that field, was the last settler to live on the road. His homestead, now abandoned, was once a welcome retreat where visitors enjoyed both the beautiful flower gardens and the musical talent of the family. The 1920's and 30's set the scene for another activity - rumrunners, under cover of darkness, would steal along the road, hiding their contraband in a secure place. A rag tied to a tree indicated the location.

LOCATION: For 4.9 km the Klondyke road travels roughly in an east west direction from the Selkirk Road (Rte. 23) south of Iona, to the Murray Harbour Road (Rte. 24).

Mellish Pond Road- Cattle grazing on sloping hillsides, a farmer ploughing his fields, rural scenes such as these enliven a drive down this country lane. As one enters from the northern end, one looks upon open fields and then a hedgerow bordering the road to an old mill pond where mixed woodland creates a light canopy overhead. Wildflowers, including daisies, dandelions and Queen Anne's lace, grow along the roadside. In the late 1800s this road served as the route to Perth Mills. A MacDonald family owned the land on the northern section of the road. The enterprise became known as MacDonald's Mills and the road as the MacDonald Mill Road. Other variations of the name include "Mill Road", "Fish Pond Road" and the "Dam Road". Today the road provides farmers with access to fields and sports enthusiasts with winter pursuits such as skiing and snowmobiling. This road has been designated as a scenic heritage road.

LOCATION: Just east of New Perth, this road runs south from Rte. 3 for 3 km to meet the Mellish Road. (The designated portion runs from the north end from Rte. 3 to the mill stream which is at the mid point of the road.)

The New Harmony Road- Wonderful hardwoods, interspersed with softwood, combine to form a leafy canopy where sunlight dapples onto this rich clay passage, creating a brilliant green "tunnel". On the eastern side of the road the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Forestry operates a demonstration woodlot, which lends an educational aspect as well as aesthetic appeal. Visitors are welcome to tour this site. Once part of a thriving agricultural community where French, Irish, English and Scottish nationalities settled, most of the farmland has been

-144- reclaimed by woodland. Today the road is used as an access to property, and a scenic drive and shortcut to the north shore. During Prohibition years, the remoteness of the road made it a prized location for rumrunners to hide illegal cargo unloaded from boats lying off the north shore.

LOCATION: Northeast of Souris, one of the finest scenic heritage roads in the section of the New Harmony Road (Rte. 303) that runs from the Greenvale Road to the Tarantum Road (Rte. 304) for a distance of 1.2 km.

NOTE: Many of these routes are used by farmers with large machinery and caution is advised. Steep hills, sharp turns and wet areas are common and travellers are advised to reduce their speed accordingly. In spring (late -March until mid-June, depending on the weather) as the snow and frost melt, these routes are quite muddy. Driving at this time is not advised.

This information was taken from the brochure "Scenic Heritage Roads" published by The Island Nature Trust and The PEI Department of Community and Cultural Affairs.

-145- FISHING

Prince Edward Island offers 1770 (1,100 miles) of coastline, deeply indented with many estuaries and bays. Other than barrier beach ponds, which can be found at the mouth of many streams, there are few natural lakes. However, there are more than 800 artificial ponds, many originally constructed as mill ponds. The streams themselves are short and spring fed; most originating from springs that discharge 7 C water in summer and winter. As a result, streams on Prince Edward Island are less dependent upon surface run-off and maintain good flows, even in summer. There may be a limited number of sport fish species on Prince Edward Island, but don't let that fool you. Recreational fishing on Prince Edward Island, both in freshwater and saltwater, is one of the best kept secrets in the angling world.

Prince Edward Island is one of the few places in North America where the brook trout, also called speckled trout, is still king. The large input of mineral rich ground water, combined with short streams and large estuaries, has created ideal conditions for brook trout. Brook trout can be found in virtually every stream on the Island, with sea run trout, the fish most sought after by anglers, ranging from ½ lb to 6 lbs. The trout season runs from April 15 to September 15, with a daily limit of eight (8) fish. Bait, fly or lures are used to take sea trout. Timing of runs varies from river to river, but many rivers have a run of sea trout beginning in mid-June and running until mid July. From the middle of June until early August, small dry flies are preferred. The streams in Prince Edward Island are small, and rods from 6'-8' are preferred by fly fishers. Most trout fishing is by wading or from the river bank. Some anglers enjoy fishing in ponds where a small boat may be required. Most of the Brook trout flies are tied on hooks sizes from 10-16. Some of the more common fresh water trout flies include: royal coachman, dark Montreal, white wulff, woolly worm, muddler minnow light and dark Cahill, and variations of the mosquito. Variations of the above mentioned and patterns unique to the Island can be discovered through local anglers. Salt water flies common to the Island include the shrimp, lobster and blockhouse. Popular salt water baits, other than worms include, mummichog (locally know as gudgeon), shrimp, silversides and smelts. Suggested lures include daredevils, goldfish, lucky strike and gold and silver spin doctors.

Rainbow trout are an introduced species on Prince Edward Island but they maintain self sustaining populations in roughly two dozen rivers. Salt water rainbows, or “steelheads” can grow quite large (up to 8 lbs) and provide excellent angling opportunities. In spring, rainbows can be caught as they head downstream to salt water. In summer and fall, many anglers are seeking the fresh rainbows coming in from salt water. Most rainbow fishing at this time is done using fly. Rainbow trout are captured on dry fly and a variety of nymphs and streamers. Effective flies include shrimp patters, wooly buggers and leeches, and assorted colours of deer hair bugs.

At one time, over seventy rivers supported runs of Atlantic salmon in Prince Edward Island; currently, there are less than twenty. All angling for Atlantic salmon is catch and release using barbless fly. Most of the salmon angling takes place in the Mill River, Dunk River, West River, and Morell River although salmon can be caught in other locations. The Morell has special management regulations that limits fishing in the main branch to fly fishing only after June 1. The season extends from June 1 to October 31st. Island rivers are fairly small and most salmon anglers choose fly rods not longer than 8 ½ feet. Popular salmon fly patterns on the Island include green machine, mickey finn and black bear with red or green butts. Advice on local fly patterns from resident anglers is advisable.

-146- Other species found in freshwater include white perch, rainbow smelt, gaspereau and eels. Perch can be taken from April 15 to September 15. This fish was formerly restricted to barrier beach ponds, but in recent years has expanded its range to include a few artificial impoundments and estuaries. Rainbow smelt are caught through the ice with spears in winter; they are also fished from many wharves in late summer and autumn. Each winter, hundreds of "smelt shacks" cover the ice in estuaries and bays across Prince Edward Island.

Salt water angling on Prince Edward Island continues to be the most under-utilised component of the recreational fishery. The many estuaries and bays, along with offshore areas, offer excellent opportunities for recreational angling of a variety of saltwater species. No saltwater recreational license is required. Deep sea fishing is a fantastic family outing, and is a great way to enjoy beautiful coastline vistas. Some of the species commonly caught during deep sea fishing excursions are: mackerel, cod, and dogfish. Various deep sea charters are available throughout Prince Edward Island from mid-summer to early autumn. All required fishing equipment is available through the boat charter.

Mackerel can be exceedingly abundant and are superb fighters if taken on fly or even a spinning rod. There is no limit on the number you can catch, and when runs are on, anglers can fish from wharves or near causeways. There is a short recreational season for groundfish, including winter flounder and cod, in August and September. The exact dates of the groundfish season change from year to year so be sure to check before heading out. One can catch a total of fifteen ground fish, of which no more than five can be cod. Flounder can be caught off wharves or under bridges in many locations around Prince Edward Island during this short season for groundfish. No licence is required.

For those interested in larger fish, there are three species of sharks caught off the coast of Prince Edward Island - blue, mako, and porbeagle. Although some shark species are abundant, catch and release is recommended because of their low reproductive rate. Fishing for these sharks is generally done in September. Chum is used to attract sharks to the vicinity of the boat. Most of the blue and mako sharks top out at about 100 lbs, but the porbeagle can run two to three times this weight. Sharks of this size are tremendous fighters. Most heavy duty salt water rods and reels will handle these sharks and provide you with a thrill to remember. A licence is required for the hook and release shark fishery and there are conditions attached. For many sports fishers, catching a tuna is considered the greatest thrill of their sport. Tuna charters can be booked in several locations around the Island. North Lake, in eastern Prince Edward Island, boasts of being the “Tuna Capital of the World”, with many bluefin tuna caught weighing in excess of 1000 lbs.

-151- HUNTING

BIRD HUNTING SEASON The migratory bird hunting season begins on Prince Edward Island on the first Monday of October and runs through the second Saturday of December -- with the exception of the Woodcock season, which begins the last Monday in September and ends the second Saturday of December.

Hunters are reminded that, according to federal migratory bird regulations, they can only bag five geese a day and they are only allowed to have 10 in possession. Under the same rules, there is no open season for Harlequin Ducks, but for other breeds of ducks the bag limit is six a day, providing not more than one is a Wood Duck and not more than four are Black Ducks, Mallards or Black-Mallard Hybrids. Hunters are not permitted to have more than 12 ducks in possession, with provisions under the Act stating that not more than eight of these may be Blacks, Mallards or Black-Mallard Hybrids and not more than one can be a Wood Duck. The bag limit on Snipe is 10 a day, while as many as eight Woodcocks can be shot each day. For possession limits simply double each daily limit.

You may also want to try your luck at partridge, rabbit and other game. The Ruffed Grouse season runs from the last Monday in September to the end of December. Keep in mind, though, that Hungarian or Grey Partridge only has a 3-week season spanning late October and early November.

OTHER HUNTS The Snowshoe Hare and Coyote seasons both run from the first Monday in October until March 31. There are no possession limits on either of these quarry and no daily bag limit on Coyote. However, there is a daily bag limit of five on Snowshoe Hare. Prince Edward Island was once world renowned for its Silver Fox ranches, but what many hunters may not be aware of is the abundance of wild Fox that roam our fields and woodlands. Patience is a must when hunting these sly little critters between the first of November and the end of January.

For specific seasons dates, and other detailed information, be sure to contact the Island's Forests,Fish and Wildlife Division.

HUNTING SAFELY Hunters are reminded to treat every firearm as if it were loaded and to respect all “No Trespassing” and “No Hunting” signs wherever they may be posted. As well, the regulations noted here are simply summaries of those listed in the Wildlife Conservation Act. For a complete list of the rules and regulations governing hunting on Prince Edward Island contact the Forest, Fish and Wildlife Division.

Hunting licenses are available at Access PEI centres across PEI, or at businesses specializing as hunting outfitters.

REGULATIONS CUSTOMS REGULATIONS (For residents of Canada travelling abroad)

For further information refer to the booklet “I Declare,” or check the Canadian Border Service Agency website at www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca

AGRICULTURE PRODUCTS If you plan to import agricultural, forestry, or food items, contact one of the following Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) Import Services Centres for information before you leave: Eastern ISC (Montréal), 1-877-493-0468 (toll free in North America) Central ISC, (Toronto), 1-800-835-4486 (toll free in North America) Western ISC (Vancouver), 1-888-732-6222 (toll free In North America) Or visit the website: www.inspection.gc.ca

GIFTS You may send gifts duty free and tax free from abroad to friends or relatives in Canada under certain conditions. Each gift must be valued at no more than $60 Canadian and the gifts must not consist of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products or advertising matter. Gift packages sent by mail should be clearly marked "GIFT" (as well as nature of article, i.e. shirt) and the value should be indicated. If any gift is valued at more than $60, your friend or relative will be required to pay regular duty and taxes on the excess amount. Gifts sent from abroad do not count against your personal exemption. Make sure a gift card is enclosed to avoid misunderstanding. Note: gifts that you bring back with you do count against your personal exemption.

PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS After 24 hours absence or more, any number of times per year, you may bring in goods to the value of $50 Canadian (excluding tobacco products and alcoholic beverages). You must have the goods with you when you arrive. If the goods you bring in are worth more than $50 in total, you cannot claim this exemption. You must pay duty on the full value. After 48 hours absence or more, any number of times per year, you may bring in goods to the value of $200 Canadian. After seven days absence or more (not counting the day you left Canada), any number of times per year, you may bring in goods to the value of $750 Canadian. Excepting tobacco products and alcoholic beverages, you do not need to have the goods with you when you arrive. A written declaration may be required.

NAFTA - Goods qualify for the US duty-free rate if they are for personal use, marked as made in the United States or Canada, or not marked or labelled to indicate they were made elsewhere.

-202- TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

Can be included in your 48-hour or seven-day exemption, but not in your 24-hour exemption. Persons who meet the age requirements of the province or territory where you enter Canada may bring in up to 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars (or cigarillos), 200 tobacco sticks and 200 grams of manufactured tobacco. If you include cigarettes, tobacco sticks or manufactured tobacco in your personal allowance, only a partial exemption will apply. A special duty applies to these products unless they are marked “Canada Duty Paid. À Droit Acquitté.”

If you meet the age requirement set by the province or territory through which you re-enter Canada you may bring in 1.5 litres of wine, 1.14 litres of liquor or 24 x 355 ml. cans/bottles (or its equivalent - 288 fl oz. or 8.5 litres) of beer or ale. Coolers are classified according to the type of alcohol they contain. For example, beer coolers are considered to be beer, and wine coolers are considered to be wine. Quantity limits are applied accordingly. Beer or wine containing 0.5% alcohol by volume or less is not classified as an alcoholic beverage. Everywhere in Canada except the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, you are allowed to exceed the free allowance without any special authority, however, the quantities must be within the limit set by the province or territory. The cost is high, since both customs assessments and provincial fees must be paid. All tobacco products and alcoholic beverages must accompany you in your hand or checked baggage.

-203- CUSTOMS REGULATIONS (For residents of the United States travelling abroad) GENERAL Merchandise Residents of the United States visiting Canada for more than 48 hours may take back once every 30 days, personal and household merchandise to the value of $800 free of United States duty and tax.

Under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), goods are eligible for free or reduced duty rates if they were grown, manufactured, or produced in Canada as defined by the Act. Check with customs for details.

Tobacco/Alcohol They may return with up to 100 cigars (Non-Cuban in origin unless purchased in Cuba) and 200 cigarettes (1 carton) regardless of the person's age. Also free of tax and duty is 1 litre (33.8 fl. oz.) of alcoholic beverages if the resident is at least 21 years of age, and it is for personal use or a gift. Importation of any alcohol is subject to State laws.

-214- OTHER REGULATIONS

SUNDAY SHOPPING (legislation in place at time of publication)

In December 2006, Government amended the Retail Business Holidays Act to allow Sunday shopping on Prince Edward Island and this past week an amendment further clarified the laws.

Sunday shopping continues on a year round basis. Retail businesses, which were formerly prohibited from opening on Sundays, usually open at noon on Sundays. There are no prescribed closing times. The legislation does not compel businesses to open on Sunday, or any day; it merely allows them to open if they wish.

If a retail business is exempt from the application of the Act then nothing changes for those businesses. For example greenhouses, convenience stores, craft fairs and so on may continue to open on Sunday as they always have.

Labor Day and Thanksgiving are always on a Monday, so they are not affected in the recent amendments, and holidays like Boxing, New Year’s and Islander Day do not fall within the time frame that allows Sunday shopping. Retail establishments will remain closed on these days, as they have in the past.

In the event that Remembrance Day or Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, the day continues to be a holiday and retail businesses may not open on that day.

-241- CROSSING THE US/CANADIAN BORDER

Effective on June 1, 2009, US and Canadian citizens travelling between the United States and Canada by land, sea and air must present travel documents prior to entry that comply with Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requirements.

RE: US and Canadian citizens:

For US citizens, acceptable documents include: - US Passport - US Passport Card - Trusted Traveller Program Cards (NEXUS or FAST/Express) - Enhanced Drivers License (EDL)

For Canadian citizens, acceptable documents include: - Canadian Passport - Trusted Traveller Program Cards (NEXUS or FAST [Free and Secure Trade] Card) - Enhanced Drivers License (EDL) or enhanced identification card (EIC) from a province where a US-approved EDL/EIC program has been implemented OR - a Secure Certificate of Indian Status (when this certificate is available and approved by the US). In the interim, the current Certificate of Indian Status is an acceptable document to present when entering the US by land or water.

Canadian citizens entering the US by land but exiting by air must present a valid passport or a NEXUS card in compliance with US air exit requirements.

Canadian citizens aged 15 years or under are only required to present proof of Canadian citizenship such as an original or a photocopy of a birth certificate, or an original citizenship card. Canadian citizens 18 years of age or under who are travelling with a school or other organized group, under adult supervision with parental/guardian consent, may also present proof of Canadian citizenship alone.

The US entry requirements have not changed for non-Canadian citizens, including permanent residents residing in Canada. For more information on US entry requirements, consult the US Department of Homeland Security’s website.

Information on the above-named documents and the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative is available by visiting www.GetYouHome.gov

Complete, updated information on document requirements for US-Canada border crossing and international travel for US citizens is available by visiting www.travel.state.gov or call 1-877-487- 2778.

Complete, updated information on document requirements for Canada-US border crossing and international travel for Canadian citizens is available at www.passportcanada.gc.ca or call 1-800- 567-6868.

-242- US entry requirements have not changed for Canadian citizens who are US lawful permanent residents (LPRs). US LPRs may continue to present their permanent resident card or other valid evidence of permanent residence status in the US.

Citizens outside US and Canada

Citizens of countries other than the US or Canada are required to show a valid passport and may require a visa to enter the US or Canada. Please check with www.cbp.gov or call 202-663-1225 for entry to the US. Visit www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca or call 1-800-O-CANADA for entry to Canada. It is the traveller’s responsibility to possess the necessary travel documentation to enter the US or Canada.

Additional information:

Travelling with Children In order to bring a child into another country without both parents accompanying the child, you must present a notarized letter that is signed by both parents and the above required travel documents. Letters must include dates of travel and with whom the child will be travelling. If in the case of a deceased parent, an original death certificate must be presented.

Persons with a felony may be denied entrance into Canada. If you have been convicted of a crime in the US, it may be considered a felony in Canada. A Driving While Intoxicated conviction (DWI/OUI/DUI etc.) is considered a felony in Canada.

For information regarding customs requirements, please visit the following websites: Canadian Border Services Agency: www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca US Customs & Border Protection: www.cbp.gov

CURRENCY Visitors may want to carry some Canadian cash when they enter Canada, but automated teller machines are readily available and banks usually offer the best exchange rates. Money may feel heavier; loonies and twonies ($1 and $2 coins) are in wide circulation.

VISITOR TAX REBATES This program was cancelled effective April 1, 2007. Please call Canada Revenue Agency: 1-800-267-5177 for more information.

UNITS OF MEASURE Keep in mind that distances are measured in kilometres and speed limits are posted in metric as well. The metric system is also used for most grocery products. Temperatures are measured in Celsius; a very simple comparison to remember is that 20 degrees Celsius is about 70 Fahrenheit, and that average daytime summer temperatures in PEI are 23 degrees Celsius.

TIME ZONE PEI is in the Atlantic Time Zone, one hour ahead of Eastern Time Zone.

-243- ** DUTY-FREE LIMITS FOR RETURNING RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

CUSTOMS:

U.S. residents returning to the United States after 48 hours can take back $800 US worth of merchandise, duty free, every 30 days. This may include one litre (33.8fl. oz.) of alcohol (provided the resident is 21 years or over), 200 cigarettes or 100 cigars that are not of Cuban origin. Members of a family traveling together may combine their personal exemptions.

After a visit of less than 48 hours, or if the $400 allowance or part of it has been used within the previous 30 days, an exemption of $200 US is allowed (may not be combined by family members), including 150ml (4 fl. oz.)of alcohol, 150 ml of perfume and not more than 50 cigarettes or 10 cigars, not of Cuban origin.

Articles brought back into the U.S. as part of an exemption must be for personal or household use. They must be brought with the person and properly declared. They must not include prohibited or restricted items.

Duty charged varies according to the country the article was made in and the type of article. More information about entering or re-entering the U.S. is available through 1-877-227-5511, or at http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/xp/cgov/travel
