Question Bright light in sky?

Upvotes

Does anyone else see that bright circle in the sky??? It hurts to look right at it.

My grandpappy told me it's something called the "son" and he used to see it as a boy, but he's been a bit out of it since Nana passed.

Personally I think it is an alien spacecraft, unless someone here knows more about it than me???

I’ve been to Cavendish and Sommo many times but never tried for barricade, how does it work? How early do I need to be there? Any other advice? I’m in GA

Pre-school

Upvotes

I’m on the east end of the island and even though the fulltime daycare experience did not work for us, my daughter is now 4 and wanting to go to “school”. I’d love to get her into a part time preschool type thing a couple days a week. I’m seeing you need to be in a daycare to do that. I’m just wondering what preschool experiences islanders have had and what waitlists for this are.

Thank you

Question Where have you adopted your dog?

Upvotes

Humane society is an obvious one but I’m looking to branch out a bit more. I know people who got their dogs through Fly With Me and Hearts of The North. Are there other reputable ones?

Rental Insurance

Upvotes

Those who have rental Insurance, what company/broker would you recommend a policy with, and why?

Which insurers would you avoid? Any that you've had issue with when it came time to make claims?

It would just for a 2 bedroom unit in Charlottetown.

I know some people hate seagulls, but I think they're very cool animals. Also, there's a picture of a heron.

Tourism/Tourist Travelling to PEI next summer

Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm thinking of planning a trip to Prince Edward Island for the summer of 2027 (either sometime in July or August). I write about the history of small towns in Canada and wondered if anyone had suggestions for some of the most historic towns/landmarks in the province that I could feature on my website.

I’ve never been to Prince Edward Island before, so all recommendations (attractions, accommodations, restaurants, etc.) are welcome! Thank you in advance!

Selfpost I’m running for City Council in Ward 1 on a platform of Fair Housing. Here are my door hangers.

Post image
Upvotes

I made these yesterday. Please do not find any typos, I already ordered them, so they can no longer be changed.

I will give this campaign an honest shot - knocking at all doors in Ward 1, getting some signs and putting myself out there. I suspect this will ruffle a few feathers, and I am fine with that. Some feathers are in a need of good ruffling.

Our City Council is always focusing on protecting "property values" in their discussions, and they mostly ignore people who live and work here, but do not own their homes. When concerns about people being squeezed out of downtown by property flippers are brought to councillors, they are well received - privately, but do never make it into the official council meeting minutes.

I am trying to get ready for meeting folk at their doorstep, so If you have some spare time, hit me with some questions, so I get a bit prepared for those debates.

Changes to Charlottetown Zoning

Upvotes

So as I read it, under the proposed new zoning regulations, a property owner in a residential area could add up to 4 additional housing units without approval from Council.

If this is so, it would be a fundamental change to quiet residential neighbourhoods by allowing the creation of numerous small apartment buildings. As well there is no information on whether or not these would be owner occupied or open for commercial development.

Am I correct?

It feels like the town council tailored this law specifically for this elderly lady. They had been paying her "Visits" , and as she wasn't doing anything wrong they had to put it into law that she was.

People may have mixed feelings but personally I feel the city and council can go f*ck themselves.

Question Winter prep for a 22 month old at daycare

Upvotes

Hi PEI parents,

We are first time parents and stocking up winter gears for our little one for daycare outdoor activities. Wondering if you can share what snowsuits, mittens, boots or hat that your littles used to keep them warm for extended outdoor fun and that are not bank breaking.

One of my colleagues suggested Decathlon snowsuit, but I'm not so sure.

Thank you all

Best place to buy butter, cheese and cordial?

Upvotes

Hi!

I am thrilled to be on the Island for this week even with the forecast!

I love Anne butter, cloth-bound cheddar and Raspberry Cordial in the glass bottle. Was wondering the best place to buy these (least expensive)? I want at least a dozen of cordial but a more modest amount of cheddar and butter. They had the butter at Sobey’s. The cordial at Borden-Carleton but it was pretty expensive ($3.49 a bottle) and I haven’t found the cheese.

Thanks
