Past-Port Summerside is honoured to have been the recipient of a 2025 Heritage and Culture Award for Heritage Activities!

A special thanks to everyone who attended the Mayor’s Tea & Heritage and Culture Awards, all the friends and family who have helped along the way, and everyone who has attended Past-Port Summerside's tours! I wouldn't be here without your support!

When Past-Port Summerside first opened, I couldn't have imagined what a fantastic response it would get. Our history really has an amazing way of bringing us together, and I am glad to have been able to share the stories, locations and people from the days-gone-by of the 'sunny side' of the island. 🎩
