Premier Pat Binns today announced the Provincial Cabinet will meet in Summerside on Thursday, February 27.
"The Cabinet will be holding meetings across the Province as part of the ongoing consultation process," stated Premier Binns. "Several groups in Summerside have requested to meet with Cabinet so we decided that will be our first location."
The regular Cabinet meeting will be held in the Summerside City Council Chamber, then there will be a formal meeting with the City Council, followed by a meeting with the Summerside Chamber of Commerce.
Cabinet Ministers will then have lunch at the cafeteria at the Prince County Hospital, and in the afternoon they will visit the East Prince Regional Services Centre and tour Slemon Park. Premier Binns says "It is important for all Cabinet Ministers to see what is taking place in communities across the Island because that first-hand information is important to the decision-making process of government."
The Cabinet will also hold an informal public reception from 5:30 to 6:30 at the Loyalist Inn. "We want to ensure the general public have the opportunity to meet members of the Cabinet and discuss ideas and concerns."
