Prince Edward Island is the least populous province in Canada with 140,204 residents as of 2011 and is the smallest in land area at 5,660 km2 (2,190 sq mi).[1] Prince Edward Islands's 73 municipalities[2] are home to 68% of its population. These municipalities provide local government services to their residents. The remaining unincorporated areas have no local government.
Municipal status types in Prince Edward Island include cities, towns, communities and resort municipalities.[3] A city, town or community can be incorporated under Prince Edward Island's Municipalities Act of 1983 by a petition signed by at least 25 residents,[4] while the province's lone resort municipality was established by order in council in 1990.[5]
Prince Edward Island has 2 cities, 10 towns, 60 communities and 1 resort municipality,[5][6][7] which are distributed across three counties – Kings, Prince and Queens. Approximately 25% of residents live in the provincial capital of Charlottetown and another 21% live within the Charlottetown census agglomeration.[8]
Municipalities
Cities
Prince Edward Island has two cities.[6] Charlottetown is Prince Edward Island's capital and largest city by population with 34,562 residents and area with 779.7 km2 (301.0 sq mi).[8] It is part of a large census agglomeration which encompasses the middle of the island and is home to 64,487 residents, or approximately half the island's population.[9] The only other city is Summerside, the principal municipality on the west side of the island.
Towns
Prince Edward Island has ten towns that are incorporated municipalities,[10] which had a cumulative population of 21,491 and an average population of 2,385 in the 2011 Census.[8] The province's largest and smallest towns are Stratford and North Rustico with populations of 8,574 and 583 respectively.[8] Cornwall is Prince Edward Island's largest town by area and Georgetown is Prince Edward Island's smallest town by area. The province's newest towns are Borden-Carleton and North Rustico, which both changed from community status to town status on July 31, 2012 and November 16, 2013 respectively.[11][7] Every four years, towns elect a mayor and six councillors who are responsible for providing local services to the municipality. [6]
Communities
Prince Edward Island has 60 communities that are incorporated municipalities[6] of which 29 are recognized as census subdivisions by Statistics Canada.[8][7] These communities were previously designated villages or community improvement committees, but were all changed to communities under the Municipalities Act.[4] The province's largest and smallest communities are Belfast and St. Louis with populations of 1,637 and 51 respectively.[8] Every four years, communities elect a chairperson and between 3 and 6 councillors who are responsible for providing limited local services to the municipality.[6]
Resort municipalities
Prince Edward Island has one municipality holding resort municipality status. The Resort Municipality of Stanley Bridge, Hope River, Bayview, Cavendish and North Rustico was established as a resort municipality in 1990.[5] The province's new Municipal Government Act, which received royal assent on December 15, 2016,[12] will allow this resort municipality to continue yet will prevent the establishment of additional resort municipalities in the future.[5]
