CANADA PRINCE EDWARD Isl.

Prince Edward Island (PEI or P.E.I.; French: Île-du-Prince-Édouard, Quebec French pronunciation, Mi'kmaq: Epekwitk, Scottish Gaelic: Eilean a' Phrionnsa) is a Canadian province consisting of an island of the same name, as well as other islands. The maritime province is the smallest in the nation in land area. The island has a few other names: "Garden of the Gulf" referring to the pastoral scenery and lush agricultural lands throughout the province; and "Birthplace of Confederation", referring to the Charlottetown Conference in 1864, although PEI did not join the confederation until 1873, when it became the seventh Canadian province. P.E.I is also called "Garden of Canada", because it is one of the most beautiful provinces in Canada.
