Confederation Centre of the Arts stages were filled with music, drama, and laughter and welcomed visitors and artists from all over the world. Our galleries featured diverse and emerging artists who brought new live audiences here while receiving unprecedented digital media attention online. As we complete the first year of our 2019-24 Strategic Plan, we are entering into a global pandemic that has brought with it a paralyzing level of uncertainty. The Charlottetown Festival has been cancelled for the first time in its history, and Confederation Centre of the Arts has had to close its doors entirely as of March 16, 2020. What lies beyond the summer is unknown, so for now we are following the guidance of the Chief Public Health Officer and the Province of PEI – guidance which is updated daily and will ultimately indicate when and in what way we can reopen, and how gathering restrictions will impact our ability to deliver various programs. We remain committed to our Strategic Plan and our three pillars of Artistic Excellence, Engaged Diverse Communities, and Organizational Sustainability. We remain committed to our 12 priority areas as outlined in the plan, and the many resulting goals and actions that are part of our implementation plan.

  • Integrated Community Sustainability Plan City of Charlottetown, PEI
    Integrated Community Sustainability Plan City of Charlottetown, PEI March 2017 Environment and Sustain- Mayors Letter ability Standing Committee Dear residents, The Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) provides us with a framework of tangible goals and actions to strive toward in the City of Charlottetown. This plan directly addresses citizen concerns surrounding the sustainability of our resources and way of life by identifying the community assets and key stakeholders who can contribute to the solutions. Sustainable cities aim to balance the interests of the Chair – Deputy Mayor Mike Duffy economy and the environment without sacrificing the things that make them unique and vibrant, such as culture and society. Charlottetown understands the importance of these interconnections and I believe will enable working together to put this plan in action each of these integral values to thrive, now and for generations to come. We are so grateful to the numerous contributors to this plan who each added their unique perspective on sustainability in Charlottetown. Through City events, such as the ICSP: Meet and Speak, are gathered feedback from many different groups and stakeholders, increase transparency, and encouraged collaboration throughout Vice-Chair – Councillor Jason Coady the process of creating the plan. The Integrated Community Sustainability Plan would not be an accurate representation of our City’s goals without the voices of the community members who shared their ideas, concerns, and hopes for Charlottetown moving forward. I invite you to review the updated Integrated Community Sustainability Plan and encourage you to continue to send us your feedback. We are always looking for new ideas and ways to meet our sustainability goals.

  • UNIVERSITY of PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND Evolving Perspectives On
    UNIVERSITY OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND Evolving perspectives on urban wildlife and their implications for policy-making in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island by Pooja Kumar A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS, IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF ARTS IN ISLAND STUDIES CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND JUNE, 2020 © POOJA KUMAR 2020 Abstract This research explores how apparent challenges to good urban wildlife conservation and management in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, CanadA are shaped by the phenomenon of islandness. The work focuses on a Foucauldian case study of Charlottetown in the context of Prince Edward Island. It includes a narrow theoretical comparison between Charlottetown and Denver, Colorado, to bring islandness into clearer view. The case study describes some distinct ways of human thought about and behavior towards wild nonhumans that influence wildlife governance in Charlottetown: using, getting rid of, helping, learning about, and being humane towards wild nonhumans. The Denver parallel brings to the fore the question of whether any level of government on Prince Edward Island holds wildlife in the public trust. Overall, the research suggests that the resolution of human-human conflicts about wild nonhumans and human-wildlife conflicts in Charlottetown should involve informal public trust managers on Prince Edward Island. ii Acknowledgments I owe this thesis to the understanding, dedication, and support of my supervisor, Dr. Marina SilvA-Opps, and to the interest and patience of my supervisory committee members, Dr. Carolyn Peach Brown, and Dr. Godfrey Baldacchino. I am indebted to Dr. Mark Lapping for making the time to read this thesis during a global pandemic and for offering up his knowledge and thoughts as my external examiner.

Music lover Often, Debbie says, “I have to emcee a show, or take tickets or serve food. We have to do whatever we have to do.” Sometimes, at a late-night, post-show jam, she will add her own guitar to the melee of instruments. “I’ve played guitar for years, as a church youth leader, around campfires and with youth groups. I play guitar in a rock band at church. It’s great for mental health. Some people cook, some people garden—I like music,” she says. When the PEI Mutual Festival of Small Halls begins, “I’m just a cog in the wheel,” Debbie insists, but she laughs, “I’ve been a constant cog—I’m the only original cog left. “Every year for the festival, we have to hire new staff, and they are often 20- somethings with not a lot of knowledge of traditional music, Debbie says.
