Islanders invited to help shape PEI’s land use future

CANADA, February 18 - Island residents are invited to take part in the next phase of public engagement on the future of land use in Prince Edward Island. 

Engagement will run from February 17 to March 20, 2026, and will help the province understand Islanders’ priorities as PEI grows and changes.

“Island residents know their communities best and their voices are essential in shaping a land use strategy that supports affordability, sustainability and resilience. This process is about listening. The feedback we gather will help guide decisions that reflect Islanders’ priorities, community needs, and the values we share.”

— Land and Environment Minister Darlene Compton

There are several ways for people to provide input: 

Take the survey

Complete a confidential, anonymous survey that explores perspectives on land‑use coordination, housing, environment, rural development, long‑term planning, and more.
