Visit

The Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island meets in the Chamber of the Hon. George Coles Building at 175 Richmond Street, Charlottetown. The permanent home of the Legislative Assembly, Province House, is next door; it is currently closed for a major restoration project.

Attend a Sitting

The public is welcome to attend a sitting of the legislature, which traditionally sits twice a year beginning in February and again in October. During a sitting the legislature is in session on the following days and times:

• Tuesdays: 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
• Wednesdays: 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
• Thursdays: 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
• Fridays: 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Visitors may watch proceedings from the public galleries inside the Chamber. Security measures are in place. Visitors may not record or interrupt proceedings in any way. Food, drink and use of handheld devices is not permitted in the public galleries.

Visit Outside of Sitting Periods

When the Assembly is not in session, the public is welcome to visit the Chamber in the Hon. George Coles Building during business hours.

In the summer months, a student guide is posted at the Chamber to greet visitors, discuss the Assembly's history, function and role, and take questions. The student guide speaks English and French, and is present for the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, from late May to the end of August. This service may occasionally be unavailable due to events in the Chamber. 

At other times of the year, Legislative Assembly staff may be available to meet visitors at the Chamber and provide an overview of the history, function and role of the Assembly. This must be booked in advance through the Office of the Clerk, and is subject to staff availability and other events that may be scheduled in the Chamber.
