As part of UPEI’s 50th anniversary, the Robertson Library is presenting a lecture series to celebrate the historical roots of higher education on Prince Edward Island and its future. The series is named after educator Frank Pigot, honoured as a UPEI Founder for his work building the library’s PEI Collection and University Archives.

The Honourable John Wilkinson, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans, and the Canadian Coast Guard, and Sean Casey, Parliamentary Secretary and MP for Charlottetown, visited UPEI’s Atlantic Veterinary College on Wednesday, March 13, as part of the Minister's 2019 Oceans Campus Tour. During this tour, the minister is visiting universities on both Canadian coasts offering programs focusing on issues that are key to Fisheries and Oceans’ mandate. These include marine mammals, climate change, marine protected areas, oceans plastics, marine pollution, conservation, and aquaculture.
