Although traditionally reliant on agriculture and fishing, this smallest Canadian province offers many business opportunities in varied industries such as tourism, aerospace, bio-science, information and communication technologies.

In addition to a bustling tourism industry fuelled by the beloved Anne of Green Gables, Prince Edward Island also has fertile red soil that is ideal for growing potatoes, the other mainstay of the island's economy. However, high technology is becoming important, especially in the medical, electronics and agricultural sectors. Prince Edward Island owes its economic success to many factors, including access to NAFTA markets, close proximity to New York City, Boston and Toronto, an educated workforce, affordable costs, world-class technologies, as well as great people with traditional values.

Prince Edward Island is a place where your family can grow in a safe and welcoming environment, where the air and the water are fresh and clean, and where saltwater beaches, spectacular golf, and challenging nordic ski trails are always nearby.

Islanders enjoy affordable housing, little traffic, low crime rates, and great educational institutions. Few places in Canada offer such a balance between life, work and play.
