Entertainment at the Montague Waterfront....


Hi again everyone

How would you like a little taste of that local entertainment that abounds on my Hidden Island Paradise?

Well click here to listen to a short sample of a free open air concert that took place at the Montague Waterfront on Saturday July 7th. 2007. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we islanders do. (the audio clip is 30 minutes of unedited recording live so there is a bit of background noise that goes with being there)

Enjoy,

Great Food with a View.....








Hi Everyone...Welcome Back...

If you are in the Montague area of my Hidden Island Paradise and you are feeling a little hungry, I would like to recomend a favourite spot of mine.

It is called the Station Cafe and of course it is located on the waterfront in the old station house. It is licenced and they serve a light menu that will fill that hunger spot in just the right way.

Try a cup of seafood chowder, a lobster sandwich or finish off with one of the fab desserts and a bottomless cup of great coffee.

The food is great but the outdoor deck tables are choice with a wonderful view of the waterfront.

You can just sit and relax while you enjoy the live music of local entertainers next door. You can explore the riverside trail for a few kilometers to work off that great food. You can board the Manada or the Manada II to enjoy some seal watching. Why you can even tour the Garden of the Gulf Museum the oldest museum in my Hidden Island Paradise.

So if you are in the Montague area make sure that you drop by the Station Cafe they are friendly and they have great food with a view.

Maybe I will see you there. Be sure to say hello.

Welcome to Montague the Beautiful !!!






Welcome to the part of my hidden island paradise where I live.

Montague the Beautiful, as the name suggests, is one of the prettiest towns on the Island. Graced with a tranquil river, lovely tree-lined streets and stately homes, it is a wonderful environment for residents and visitors alike. Montague's location in the heart of Kings County also makes it a regional centre of business and commerce, an excellent place for investment.

The town itself is located along the Montague River in what used to be known as Township Lots 52 and 59. It lies approximately six miles upstream from Cardigan Bay, allowing for easy access by water to the Northumberland Strait and the Atlantic Ocean. The river bisects the town from east to west, providing excellent small port access for transport, fishing and recreation, as well as enhancing the town's scenic beauty.

Enjoy your virtual visit and if you can come for a real visit we would love to give you a personal tour.

Hidden Island (Green ) Paradise









Welcome back

Yes our Hidden Island Paradise is more than green fields with dairy cows and golf courses of winding fairways and manicured greens.

Our Hidden Island Paradise has a government that wants us all to recycle our waste. Use our water to make Hydrogen to power our cars and use our wind to make electricity.

So the question is "can we have an environmentally friendly Hidden Island Paradise?"

The proposal is a change for Maritime Electric, which had said that wind power was too expensive.

"The technology has improved dramatically in the past few years," president Jim Lea now says. "The cost has declined and the reliability has increased. That has a big factor on the economics."

There are already eight wind generators at the PEI Energy Corp Site. They're expected to supply two per cent of the province's needs. PEI Energy Corp. is a Crown corporation and the province is pushing wind power because it's a clean, renewable source.

I have also heard that as much as fifteen percent of the Province's electricity could be generated within the near future. (months maybe due to more wind generators rapidly comming online)

Till next time think GREEN.

Hidden Island Paradise History.. You gotta Love it!!!










Welcome back

The Community Museums Association of Prince Edward Island was formed in 1983 and grew out of a need felt within the provincial museum community for stronger support services for the community museums. The mandate accepted by the Association was that of fostering and supporting historical societies and community museums, as well as facilitating communication between the various museums, governments, and other relevant organizations. From its inception, the major goal of the Association has been to upgrade the quality of museums on Prince Edward Island by providing the necessary skills and knowledge to museum operators. The movement towards high museum standards through training and the sharing of information is central to our very existence.

Let Barry King of the Community Museums Association of Prince Edward Island give you the Royal Treatment.

Click here to meet Barry and let him introduce you to Island History from an insiders point of view.

Also check out the Museum and Heritage Prince Edward Island site (one museum, seven sites)
