“The Island Way of
Life
Mirrored Through the Eyes of the Kensington Area,
The Heart of Prince Edward Island”
Prince Edward Island
has been and continues to be described as a patchwork quilt
because of
the many diverse communities spread across the island. Moreover,
our rolling fields are cut like
patches of a quilt containing potatoes, wheat, clover, and so on.
The content of this website,
which is listed below, reflects the unique qualities of our
princely island.
