Town of Three Rivers

What Town of Three Rivers does

Town of Three Rivers is a municipal government corporation located in Montague, Kings County, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Established in 2018 through the amalgamation of Montague, Georgetown, Cardigan, and surrounding smaller Island communities, it operates as one of PEI's largest municipalities with a resident base of over 7,200. The municipality provides the standard suite of local government services: water and sewer utilities (Montague and Georgetown), public works, emergency preparedness, animal services, garbage and recycling, planning and development, parks and recreation, and cultural programming. Its operational portfolio includes the Kings Playhouse performance venue, town-operated marinas, a network of community museums (Garden of the Gulf Museum, Cardigan Heritage Centre, Roma at Three Rivers National Historic Site, The Mair Family Museum), hall rentals, and the Brudenell golf facility.

The municipality's primary digital platform is its official website portal (threeriverspei.com), supplemented by a dedicated Events Calendar Platform (events.threeriverspei.com) for community events and council meetings. Distribution of services occurs through the town office headquarters at 172 Fraser St, an online portal for permits/utility payments, and in-person delivery at municipal facilities. Community engagement is maintained via Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and an email newsletter.

The business model is that of a tax-and-fee-funded municipal corporation operating under the Municipal Government Act of Prince Edward Island. Revenue is derived from property taxes, provincial and federal transfers (including a 2023 grant from Employment and Social Development Canada), and user fees for water/sewer, permits, hall rentals, and animal registration. The workforce is unionized (CUPE Local 5538), and governance is provided by an elected Mayor and Council, currently serving the 2022–2026 term under Mayor Johnston. The entity has no parent corporation, no subsidiaries, and no dilutive external capital.
