Excerpt: The Prince Edward Island Railway (PEIR) was a historic Canadian railway. Located wholly within the province of Prince Edward Island, construction of the PEIR started in 1871, financed by the United Kingdom. The line was initially built to Cape gauge, under the supervision of Chief Engineer John Edward Boyd a native of Saint John, New Brunswick who first advocated the use of narrow gauge for the New Brunswick Railway in the 1860s, and was responsible for the first surveys of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway and the Toronto and Nipissing Railway in Ontario. The PEIR was frequently criticized for its meandering path, reputedly caused by construction contractors who were paid by the mile; this may also be accounted for in economies taken by reducing the amount of grading and trenching required by going around hills and obstacles. At one point there was on average one railway station for every 2.5 miles (4 km) of track. The main line connected the northwestern port of Alberton (later extended to Tignish) with the Northumberland Strait ports of Summerside, Charlottetown, Georgetown, and Souris. By 1872, construction debts threatened to bankrupt the colony. The United Kingdom had consistently encouraged the small colony to enter into Canadian Confederation, something which it had been avoiding since playing host to the Charlottetown Conference a decade earlier. The railway construction debts pushed the colony into reconsiderin... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=613252 ... Read more

Excerpt: Government House (Prince Edward Island) -Government House was built in 1834. It was originally intended to serve as a Vice regal residence for the Governor of the then British colony. Government House is located on a parcel of land set aside by Governor Edmund Fanning in 1789 as Crown land, with the specific stipulation that it be used as the site for the Governor's residence. The original parcel, known as Fanning Bank or Fanning's Bank, contained approximately 100 acres (0.40 km). The remaining parcel of approximately 10 acres (40,000 m) was retained for Government House and its grounds, and the property has been known more recently as Fanningbank. Government House is where the Canadian Royal Family and visiting foreign dignitaries are greeted and often stay while in Charlottetown. It is also where numerous royal and viceroyal events take place, such as the bestowing of provincial awards or inductions into the Order of Prince Edward Island, as well as luncheons, dinners, receptions, and speaking engagements. It is also at the royal residence that the Lieutenant Governor will drop the writs of election, swear-in new members of the Executive Council, and hold audience with her Premier. The property is owned by the Queen in Right of Prince Edward Island and is open to the public for certain periods during the summer. The wood frame building's architectural design is Georgian with echoes of the Palladian tradition. The two axis of the house converge on the main entrance hall, which has doric columns and pil...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4170179 ... Read more

Excerpt: The Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island is one of two parts of the General Assembly, the other being the Lieutenant-Governor. The General Assembly meets at Province House, which is located at the intersection of Richmond and Great George Streets in Charlottetown. As a colony, Prince Edward Island originally had a bicameral legislature founded in 1773 with the Legislative Council of Prince Edward Island serving as the upper house and the House of Assembly as the lower house. Together they composed the 1st General Assembly of the Island of Saint John. After the name of the colony changed in 1798, the body became known as the General Assembly of Prince Edward Island. In 1893 the two bodies were amalgamated into a unicameral legislature and became known as the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island. Formally, the legislature is still known as the General Assembly of Prince Edward Island. In 1769, a British Order-in-Council established a new government on the British colony of St. Johns Island (present day P.E.I.). In 1770, Lieutenant Governor Walter Patterson (the Islands first Governor) arrived and appointed a Council to assist him in the administration of the Island. By 1773, at the insistence of the British government, Governor Patterson summoned the Islands first Assembly. Elections for the Islands first House of Assembly were held on July 4, 1773, with 18 members being elected. Tradition has it that the first session of ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=669920 ...
