The City of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, officially named the winners of the 2025 Heritage and Culture awards on March 18, 2026. These awards celebrate local people and groups who have made a difference in protecting the city’s history and building its creative identity.
The program is run by Culture Summerside, the city department that looks after arts and heritage. By recognizing these efforts, the city aims to show how important local volunteers are in keeping the community’s unique character alive.
Former Mayor Basil Stewart and the Summerside City Council first started this award tradition in 2011. The awards are typically presented during the Mayor’s Heritage Tea, which is an annual gathering focused on the city’s past and its local talent.
This year’s announcement highlights the ongoing work of residents who dedicate their time to cultural activities. The city believes that celebrating these achievements helps foster a stronger sense of pride for everyone living in the community.
