Let's Talk About Land Use on PEI

The Institute of Island Studies and Environmental Studies are hosting a noon-hour discussion on Thursday, April 4 for students, staff, and faculty to talk about ongoing concerns around land use on PEI: the quality of our groundwater, the protection of our farmland, and the protection of our coastal areas, to name three concerns. If you live on PEI, your opinion matters. In April the newly formed land-use task force will hold public consultations with Islanders on these issues. This task force wants to speak to the UPEI community about what they think. So let's talk about land use. Free pizza for lunch. RSVP to Joan at ispstaff@upei.ca鈥 or 566-0386.
