This is PEI

It’s a complicated health care world. Before giving up, you should know there’s extra help. Meet P.E.I.’s patient navigators and find out they help make sense of a complicated and complex system. 

It’s 4:45 in the morning and, as always, there are cars outside the Sherwood Medical Centre, filled with Islanders desperate to see a doctor. We talk to some patients who are having to get up in the middle of the night to get the care they need.

Community fridges on PEI are supposed to help hungry Islanders — but some volunteers are seeing cracks in this approach. We speak to food security experts about what’s going on, and what can be done to help those in need.

P.E.I. limits who can own land, and how much. But are the rules being followed? Reporter Kerry Campbell discovered corporations with ties to the Irving family own more than four times what’s allowed. This week, we dig into, whose land is this land? 

New name, same must-listen podcast. This is your connection to the stories P.E.I. is talking about. Hosted by proud Islander Mitch Cormier.

We venture out to answer how our counties got their names, but end up with a stickier geography lesson. Can Islanders come to a consensus? And who has the final say?

Islanders love their ice cream. To celebrate summer, we're talking about what makes us go nuts for dairy bars. And as it turns out... business is booming! 

We’re going to school this week... community school. So what is it? Who can attend? And how has it lasted almost 60 years?

Eastern P.E.I. is home to a herd of bison, but how did they get here? Who takes care of them? And is it true people used to eat them? We share the tale.

P.E.I. could ban today's children from EVER buying cigarettes. Does that include vapes and nicotine pouches too? How would it even work? The CBC's Laura Meader walks us through the plan.
