Help with outdoor projects and learn about Prince Edward Island culture, Canada

Descrição

We are located in the very middle of Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province. We live in a large restored 1860 heritage home in the country on a large property. Arnold is the President of the non-profit, Farmers Bank of Rustico Museum, a National Historic where we interpret the history of the French Acadian culture. We also have a cottage in Cavendish rented through AirBnB that needs attention from time to time. There's always lots to do around here!
