Excerpt from Island Innovation:
[Co-Authored with Stacey Alvarez de la Campa]
Many of us were introduced to the magical landscape of Prince Edward Island through the classic, much-loved children’s book Anne of Green Gables. L.M. Montgomery’s uplifting story of how a plucky and courageous orphan, Anne, enriches the lives of her community and adopted family has been a favorite for generations of readers who revel in the verdant descriptions of the landscape. Indeed, PEI is a place that offers enchanting vistas, no matter the season, and stunning scenery that beguiles locals and visitors alike.

As one of Canada’s smallest provinces, PEI highlights some of the vulnerabilities faced by island communities – but also the solutions that can be implemented.
