Province welcomes more members to boards

February 24, 2021

Through Engage PEI, Islanders are making a positive difference to their communities by joining government boards.

Close to 30 people were appointed or reappointed to seven government agencies, boards and commissions this month. With over 70 boards across multiple sectors, Islanders have the opportunity to join one that matches their interest and expertise.

“Every month, I have the opportunity to see how Islanders step up for their communities through the work they do on our provincial boards. I want every past, current and future member to know that the time and energy they put into these boards have a real impact on how our province continues to grow. You all play a part in shaping our future and I sincerely thank you all for your commitment.”

- Premier Dennis King
