Game of PEI (c1985)
Title: The Game of Prince Edward Island / Canukeena Caper
Publisher: R-Jay Industries Ltd., Winnipeg / Glenora, Manitoba: Undated (c1985)
Description: Monopoly-style board game. The object is to buy, sell, rent and trade local businesses profitably and become the wealthiest player, forcing opponents into bankruptcy. Consists of game board, instructions, cards, play money, dice, and tokens.
Local versions of the game were distributed across Canada. Each edition was issued as a fundraiser in support of a local cause. In this case, the edition was in support of S.A.W. Industries, which is now part of Community Connections. The names of local businesses - most of them from the Summerside area - appear in boxes around the perimeter of the board. Several of the businesses are no longer in operation.
