Delegates from 16 countries will explore the theme of “L.M. Montgomery and the Politics of Home” during the L.M. Montgomery Institute’s 16th biennial conference at UPEI from June 19 to 23, 2024.

The conference is co-chaired by Dr. Caroline E. Jones, Visiting Scholar at the L.M. Montgomery Institute (LMMI) and an independent scholar and editor in Austin, Texas, and Dr. Laura Robinson, a former Visiting Scholar with the LMMI and professor of English and Women’s and Gender Studies at Acadia University.

Essentially a large sandbar made up of primarily sand and sandstone, Prince Edward Island is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, especially coastal erosion, sea-level rise, and storm surges. Islanders are particularly worried about their homes and cottages built close to the water’s edge.

The Government of Prince Edward Island and the University of Prince Edward Island have come together to survey PEI’s changing coastline every year and build a number of tools that allow Islanders to understand their property’s vulnerability to coastal erosion.

Sixteen representatives from partner organizations of Veterinarians Without Borders-Canada (VWB) visited Prince Edward Island (PEI) from April 28 to May 3 to gain insights into agricultural management and industry issues. The delegates, hailing from Kenya, Ghana, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, had spent a week in Ottawa before arriving in PEI.
