As the acting mayor, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all residents and visitors. Kensington is a vibrant community known for its rich history, friendly atmosphere, and beautiful landscapes. Our community is dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can feel at home. Whether you’re here to explore our charming downtown, enjoy our parks and recreational facilities, or participate in our community events, there’s something for everyone in Kensington.

Kensington is a community of over 2000 residents and lies at the crossroads between the City of Summerside to our west and our Capital City of Charlottetown to our east. First known as “Five Lanes End” because of its location at the intersection of five major routes, our community was re-named “Barrett’s Cross” in 1824 after an early Irish settler who established an inn here. Later it was re-named Kensington after Kensington Palace in London, England.

On behalf of Town Council, staff, residents, and business owners I would like to invite all visitors to the Town of Kensington to enjoy the friendship of our residents and business people. Surrounded by breathtaking rolling countryside, Kensington is the thriving commercial center for over thirty fishing and farming communities.

We take pride in our excellent schools, diverse local businesses, and a wide range of recreational activities. Our community events are designed to bring people together, fostering a sense of unity and belonging. From our beautiful parks to our thriving local businesses, there’s always something happening in Kensington.

Thank you for visiting our website. Here, you’ll find information about our town’s services, upcoming events, and the latest news. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

As the acting mayor, I am delighted to welcome you to our wonderful town

Warm regards,

Jeff Spencer
