In our effort to make Prince Edward Island a better place to live, work and play, we invite all Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour Communities on PEI to share your personal lived experiences of racism. Whether you’ve always called PEI home, or if you are a newcomer or a past resident, this is your opportunity to be heard.

The survey will touch on your personal experiences of encountering racism within various systems, like healthcare, education, employment, and housing.

Your responses will remain confidential and anonymous, and will contribute to a research study led by BIPOC-USHR.

To access the survey, click the link here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BJ2VQ6K

Questions? Please reach out to: research@bipocushr.org or sroy@upei.ca

As part of the new building construction project that will house the UPEI Faculty of Medicine, patient medical home, Psychology Training Clinic, Adult ADHD Clinic, and interprofessional health simulation and clinical training centre, the access road (also known as Alumni Road) from the intersection of University Avenue and Enman Crescent to the intersection of the campus perimeter road and the sports fields will be closed from June 23 to August 14. This closure is necessary to allow contractors to safely install new underground services and add road access to the new facility.  

Facilities Management apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we proceed with this exciting project that will enhance the campus. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jackie MacPhail at jmacphail@upei.ca or 902-566-6034.
