PEI’s 1970s: the decade that changed everything – part 1
The 1970s are known for being a groovy decade, but on PEI they brought massive changes. In Part 1, we learn about how the Comprehensive Development Plan is the reason why we have fewer family farms, zero one-room schoolhouses, and an economy more focused on tourism today. We also discuss Junction ’71 – the rock festival that never happened because the PEI government shut it down.
Features guest interviews Dr. Ed MacDonald and Doug MacArthur.
