The Island Way of Life as it is experienced today has deep roots in our province’s history and the Island landscape. These preserved symbols vary from the 40-kilometre strip of shoreline that is the Prince Edward Island National Park to heritage buildings, museums, and monuments. Landscapes, architecture, industries, rural life, accomplished Islanders... all are a vital part of our heritage and the Island Way of Life.
