What a great summer list! ☀️🎶🔥 Trips to the dairy bars here in Western PEI are a priority in the summer months! 🍦

We asked our Alberton Client Information Officer, Barb, what she loves about summer on PEI. Here’s what she shared with us 👇

“PEI Summers are wonderful! Gathering with family and friends, bonfires, enjoying toe-tapping Island and Maritime musical events, and we must not forget, supporting our local Dairy Bars!”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nous avons demandé à Barb, notre agente de soutien à la clientèle d’Alberton, ce qu’elle aime le plus de l’été à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Voici ce qu’elle nous a répondu 👇

« Les étés à l’Île sont merveilleux! Se retrouver en famille et entre amis, faire des feux de camp, profiter des concerts endiablés de l’Île et des provinces maritimes, sans oublier, bien sûr, d’encourager nos bars laitiers locaux! »
