Lucy MaudMontgomery

Born in Clifton (now New London), PEI in 1874, Lucy Maud Montgomery

would become one of Canadas most famous and cherished writers. With 20 novels and hundreds of poems in

print, it was Anne of Green Gables, her first published novel (1908), which put the author on the map. Montgomerys

imaginative and passionate redheaded orphan would become a

phenomenon, with over 50 million copies of the first Anne book sold worldwide. Though she died in Ontario in 1942, Mauds final resting place is at the

Cavendish Community Cemetery, here in her beloved PEI.

IslandLighthouses

As an Island, the sea has been an integral part of the livelihood, visual

PEIs first lighthouse was built. Today, visitors can tour many of our

maritime heritage, or simply to enjoy the beautiful vistas they create along

William Critchlow Harris - Architect

In 1856, at two years of age, William Critchlow Harris emigrated from

Wales to Prince Edward Island with his family. After apprenticing with an architect in Halifax, William returned

to PEI and became an architect of renown, specializing in the design of churches. His work mixed elements of Gothic styles; his earlier designs following the High Victorian style,

and his later, the French Gothic style. Fine Island examples of Harris architecture include Beaconsfield in

Charlottetown, and St. Marys Church in Indian River, home of the Indian

River Festival. William is the brother of Robert Harris, founding member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Art,

who is famous for his portrait of the Fathers of Confederation.

portraits and is recognized as one of Canadas great artists. The Harris family, including his brother William (see page 41), emigrated from Wales to Prince Edward Island. Robert studied art in Europe and in

Boston, returning to the Island in 1879. Though he would later live in Toronto and Montreal, Harris remains very much an Island artist, with portraits of

Islanders featuring significantly in his body of work. His painting

Canadais born

In September 1864, delegates from PEI, Nova Scotia and

New Brunswick were meeting in Charlottetown to discuss

Maritime Union. Representatives from the province of Canada

(Quebec & Ontario) arrived in Charlottetown to discuss the

larger possibility of creating a nation that would stretch from sea to sea. When The Fathers of Confederation came ashore in rowboats no one was there to

greet them. A circus was in town and most Islanders were in the

audience. Despite this less than stellar beginning, consensus was reached to move forward with the concept of the new Canada. For this reason, PEI is referred to as The Birthplace of Canada and

The Cradle of Confederation. Join us in 2014 as we celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the

Charlottetown Conference!
