r/PEI

The federal government's immigration cuts two years ago were aimed at slowing population growth and easing pressures on health care and housing — but some P.E.I. businesses are now saying it's having a negative impact on their staffing.

Staff in the kitchen at Rodd Crowbush Resort on the Island's North Shore are finding themselves working six days a week, and longer shifts. The kitchen is short three cooks, and finding enough staff hasn't been easy.

Hi, I just graduated from Holland College so my gym pass there isn't free anymore. Goodlife is way too expensive for me.

I was wondering whats the most affordable gym membership in Charlottetown? I workout using mostly free weights so it doesn't have to be a spot with a lot of equipment. Preferably I would like a gym with less people. If anyone knows a good location please let me know!

I'm building a small seasonal cabin on posts, and the building department says I need an engineer stamped plan because the loft counts as a second storey. Anyone have a recommendation for an engineer that could do this for me?

It’s not just you. After cycling the router/modem a few times I finally called. Recorded message says a line was cut, and names a bunch of affected areas across the Island.

My wife and I are driving to PEI from Connecticut for 9 days in late July. First time visiting. We are looking forward to attending a ceilidh or two. Recommendations are welcome. Many thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm a man in his early 40s who is 2 years sober and lives in the Charlottetown area. I've been kind of lonely lately as I am single/no children and my friends have moved on.

I'm trying to get out there but everything seems to revolve around alcohol. I go to the gym but due to work I kind of end up going at off peak hours and don't want to interrupt people's workouts. I like riding rails to trails on my bike but that isn't exactly social. Obviously I can't hang out in bars anymore and cafes/coffee shops seem to close pretty early. I don't like board games much, I've seen that as an option.

I do have hobbies, I like cooking/grilling, I grow a garden, home improvement projects, I have an old street and trail motorcycle I ride, I have a sports car I tinker with, I read and like art.

What do sober people do to meet other people? It doesn't bother me if the people I'm meeting enjoy a drink now and again, socializing just can't be centered around it.

Hey guys! Anyone know where Ole Boys Food Truck is these days? They’re the guys that used to be at Jewels, their food was fantastic! Thanks :)

Hello, I am wondering wheres some good spots to paddle board that are not busy beaches. Does not even have to be a beach per say. Thank you.

Hi folks, visiting PEI on vacation and have fallen in love with the place and the people. We're giving some serious thought to relocating here from Quebec. We're asking lots of questions to the locals we meet but I thought it might be a good idea to ask here. So locals, what's your most and least favourite thing about living on the island? And... How bad are the winters really? ( I'm used to -20 or colder and lots of snow) Thanks in advance for sharing..

As the title suggests I’m in a position I don’t want to be in. Life is hard already in this economy. Will I be in a hole I can’t dig out of as a single mom making 4000 a month? Do others make it work for less? Tips? Warnings? Anything? I’m scared.
My family is here but can not help financially or with child care due to work and distance.

Grahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! They should let us beat the bad drivers with a stick! I am losing my mind every morning on my way to work at the amount of idiots on the road. Almost got into 3 accidents just by people flying out lots and into the wrong lanes
