The 6th Global Forum on Heath Promotion takes place in Charlottetown, the capital city of Prince Edward Island. Part of Canada’s east coast, PEI is nestled between New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador. PEI is Canada’s smallest province, yet it was within this small locale that a great country was born, giving the Island the title of “birthplace of Confederation.”
