When you add the port facility, the short distance to an international airport, and the readily available telecommunications network, Summerside simply becomes the best location for your business.

Besides what it can do for your business, consider what living and working in Summerside can do for the well-being of your employees. Summerside combines that small town feeling with big city amenities. It provides that idyllic lifestyle most people only dream about.

Even executive housing, with all the bells and whistles, including ocean views, is well below the national average.
