Order of Prince Edward Island

The Order of Prince Edward Island is the highest honour the Province can bestow. It gives public recognition to individual Islanders whose efforts and accomplishments have been exemplary. There are many citizens who make remarkable contributions to the social, economic and cultural life of our province and its people and the Order of Prince Edward Island is a unique opportunity to honour them. The Order of Prince Edward Island is established under the Provincial Emblems and Honours Act (PDF).

I want to nominate someone. How do I do that?

Do you know a deserving Islander who should be considered for the Order of Prince Edward Islander?  The advisory council will accept nominations for recipients of the 2023 Order of Prince Edward Island in the near future.

In the meantime you can find out who is eligible. A nomination form and deadline will follow. Nominations will only be accepted by email or postal mail due to ongoing public health concerns.
