As Mayor of the Resort Municipality of Stanley Bridge, Hope River, Bayview, Cavendish and North Rustico, I offer you a genuine Island welcome to our community.
Although we are a community of just over 250 year round residents, our population swells in the summer to over 10,000 with seasonal residents and visitors from across the world. Our resort community offers the best of both worlds: a small town feel with many of the best things in life like great food, wonderful vistas, enjoyable attractions and interesting history. In fact, our community has much history and many stories to tell, a theme running through our new web site.
We are the historic home of world renowned author Lucy Maud Montgomery and Green Gables Heritage Place so come learn about one of the world’s most famous story tellers or about shipwrecks or fishing tales or about the special natural environment of the beaches and dunes in the Prince Edward Island National Park.
We are also the home of a thriving business community and our location is within easy reach of schools, sport facilities and Prince Edward Island’s two main cities. Located in the middle of Prince Edward Island’s north shore, we are the best “home” to enjoy all the Island has to offer during your vacation.

Mayor
