5+ PEI Facebook Groups you should be in

So you live in PEI but want to know what is going on around you, you don’t know what you don’t know, and you want to sell that extra TV in the basement easy peasy.

Here are 5 PEI-local Facebook groups that you should be a part of.

• Ask PEI - this is your go-to group for anything that you want to know about PEI. Need a referral for a business or trades-person, want to know the story behind the abandoned house down the road, or what help finding a lost amazon delivery package, Ask PEI is the place to go.

• Prince Edward Islanders By Choice - if you are moving to PEI from away and you are choosing to be an islander, rather than one by birth, then this is the group for you. If you need help navigating life as a new islander with those whose appreciation of the island is the same as yours, then these are your people.

• DayCare Providers - PEI - needing childcare when you relocate to PEI, this is the second stop on that journey. There is an official registry organized by the province for any of the regulated centres. But chances of getting one of those spots for a child that hasn’t been on the list since they were born is slim to none. So, securing a spot in a private centre or in-home daycare may be your best bet and this is the group to find that spot.

• If you are looking for a rental or a home to purchase, there is a number of options for groups that you can look in. I cannot say which if any are better. If you have some experience with these groups, then please let me know your thoughts:

  • PEI REAL ESTATE , RENTALS AND CONTRACTORS

  • Prince Edward Island Houses/Apartments for Sale/Rent

  • Rentals PEI

  • P.E.I. Real Estate Listings

  • PEI Buy Sell Rent Houses and Apts and Property

• Of course, there is an infinite number of different groups so this is just an abbreviated list. Again, if you have a favourite group that you think should be added to this list, please let me know.

  • PEI Buy, Sell, Trade, & Share

  • PEI furniture/household

  • PEI kids /buy/sell/swap

  • Buy, Sell, Trade Baby/Toddler/Kids PEI

• And lastly, PEI Weather Discussion - updates on what weather is coming our way. Stay prepared for the next nor’easter, hurricane or heat spell coming our way.

  After reading through this list, what PEI Facebook groups do you think I need to add?
