Province of Prince Edward Island / Province du L'Île-du-Prince-Édouard

Published purpose

The Community of North Rustico has a population of 600 people and is located along the North Shore of Prince Edward Island. It is a significant tourist population in that it borders on the Cavendish National Park. It is generally located in a valley surrounded by hills on three sides and water on the fourth. Currently, one of its main streets, Harbourview Drive is subject to flooding during tidal surges. This flooding causes the community to split into two sections with citizens from the east side being isolated due to the flooding. Approximately 75 homes are affected by this flooding. This project is planned to provide for an Evacuation Route for these individuals at times when Harbourview Drive is flooded.
