Government Partner

Every city makes the claim, but in Summerside this is our core value proposition. We are with you every step of the way, and our support for your company continues long after you have located in Summerside.

Here's what having a true government partner means to us:

• Levels of government work together seamlessly - an agile business environment without red tape.
• Expanding or locating in Summerside can be done quickly and have you up and running much more rapidly than most North American cities.
• Access to decision and policy makers not possible in larger centres.
• Because of our small size, our partnerships with postsecondary institutions allow businesses to customize programs to meet their skills training needs.

“We’re not talking simply about financial assistance. It extends as far as issues associated with public policy and taxation policy. The ability to work with three different levels of government simultaneously – I really think this is the model that other jurisdictions need to emulate if they want to enjoy the success that Summerside and PEI have had. It really is just a very simple environment in which to do business.”
