As a partner, a sports venue, and the Athletes' Village for the 2023 Canada Winter Games, UPEI is excited, along with the Canada Winter Games Host Society, to promote the 2023 Canada Winter Games Torch Relay.

Prior to every Canada Games, a Torch Relay takes place that sees the Roly McLenahan Canada Games Torch travel part of the country as it makes its way to the host city/province for the opening ceremony. Ceremoniously lit from the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill, the Roly McLenahan Torch will ignite the official Games flame during the opening ceremony.

New research out of the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island suggests a high prevalence of canine leptospirosis regionally within Canada.

The UPEI Co-operative Education Program recently recognized its exceptional students and employers with its annual awards, which included a new Arts Co-op Student of the Year Award. Students were nominated by their work-term employers, and employers were nominated by students who worked for them in 2021.

The recipients are Rahmat Buraimoh, Arts Co-op Student of the Year; MacKenzie Wright, Business Co-op Student of the Year; Elizabeth Toop, Science Co-op Student of the Year; and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Co-op Employer of the Year. 

The UPEI men’s soccer team is well known for fielding a strong contingent of homegrown talent, and this upcoming season will be no exception.
