Prince Edward Island no longer has any vacant Senate seats, with Monday’s news that Mary Robinson has been appointed to Canada’s upper house of Parliament.
Diane Griffin will be officially sworn in as the 10th chancellor of the University of Prince Edward Island early next year, the board of governors announced Thursday.
P.E.I. trailblazer Marion Reid, who died this week at 94, is being remembered for the major role she played in shattering glass ceilings in Island politics.
Reid was the first female lieutenant-governor of Prince Edward Island and a member of the Order of Canada. And back in 1993, she was one of the province's 'Famous Five' powerful women.
