Prince Edward Island - 1990

 May 2026 - Toronto ON

As I was planning our little trip to Charlottetown PEI, I realized I had posted our 2014 visit but never our 1990.

I know we went in 1990 because we had never been there and we also knew we were moving to Toronto from Montreal, so it would be a longer trip from Toronto.

This is mainly a photo (pre-digital) dump as there is little I remember other than the amazing food!!

SOURIS

Every Saturday afternoon during the summer months less than a dozen Anglicans gather in St. Alban's Anglican Church in Souris for services. This Saturday the services were led by Richard Ball, a lay minister. The church, erected in 1980 to serve approximately 70 parishioners  sits near site of the original church adjacent to Church Street in the town and close to the edge of a cliff bordering Colville Bay. The first church was built in 1895 under the leadership of Rev. E.T. Woollard. Before that, services were held in a private home. It was closed in 1919 and later demolished. The land was sold for $300 together with part of the churchyard after the Second World War.

SUMMERSIDE

Woodleigh Replicas was a park of miniatures situated in the rural community of Burlington outside Kensington, Prince Edward Island on a 30-acre site. The visitor attraction opened in 1957 and closed in May 2008.

Another short day but we spent time exploring before we reached Charlottetown.
It was a beautiful sunny day as we left!

We skipped breakfast at the inn and headed out hoping for a Tim Horton's before crossing the Confederation bridge.
Nope, no Tim's!!!
On our way back we will stop and get photos of the bridge.

Once across we decided to do the North Cape drive.


First stop - Summerside

Then a stop at this astounding church and cemetery, I will do a more detailed post on most of these stops.

Wanted to visit the Acadian Music Centre but it was only open Monday to Friday, really??? In the middle of summer????

 The Bottle Houses!

Down a dirt road to West Point.

Along the coast

Time for lunch in O'Leary- everything potato! Including potato fudge and ice cream.

Then we decided to go to the top - North Cape.

Just a teaser of the church in Miscouche!

Then it was time to head to our stay in Charlottetown for five days.

We headed to the wharf for dinner at Lobster on the Wharf.
Dinner was great, you can build your own fisherman platter so I had a crab cake, two shrimp and a lobster tail.
