Preserving Our Past
Soak in the cultural richness of our heritage on any street in the Heritage District. Go to page 19 of the Heritage Bylaw SS-20 for a map of the Heritage District. Keep in mind, however, that a number of places of historic significance are located outside the Heritage District.
Culture Summerside often hosts workshops, lectures, and outdoor events designed to highlight, inform others on, and celebrate our high concentration of residential heritage buildings. Citizens of our City take pride in the fact that their old town residential area has one of the highest concentrations of heritage homes in Atlantic Canada. And it is all very walkable.
