P.E.I. marked its first Cyberbullying Awareness Day on Thursday, a way to honour a teenager who died by suicide after he became a victim of sextortion.

It may be possible to leverage a new federal pharmacare program to support people who require feeding tubes, says P.E.I. Health Minister Mark McLane.

With the P.E.I. Legislature set to enshrine April 25 as Cyberbullying Awareness Day in the province, advocates and authorities alike hope the day can be an opportunity to broach tough conversations between kids and their parents.

The City of Summerside is hosting a town hall meeting with P.E.I.s health minister Thursday night.

P.E.I. MLAs heard more details Tuesday about the problems plaguing cellphone users on the Island — including poor reception and persistent dropped calls — but didn't hear much about solutions.

With friends and family gathering for the holidays, what better time to see who among them was most tuned into the news around Prince Edward Island this past year?

P.E.I.'s health minister took the brunt of questions at the legislature Wednesday as MLAs brought up concern after concern about the state of the Island's ailing health-care system.

P.E.I. Housing Minister Rob Lantz says the provincial government is not busing clients of the Community Outreach Centre to the inn in eastern P.E.I.

Having volunteer firefighters in Souris respond to a surge in medical calls is depleting town resources as well as keeping them from their day jobs: 'It could be 20 minutes. It could be a half an hour. It could be an hour. It could be two hours.'  

Proposed legislation around dog ownership on P.E.I. looks to hold owners accountable for the actions of their pets, according to a PC MLA who is working on the policy.
