Think about every one who traveled by train or who received goods or services here on Prince Edward Island since 1871.
Students traveling from home to attend university on Prince Edward Island.Solders traveling to War to serve and protect us. Each Story Stone and Station is a ticket to learn about Prince Edward Islands rich history of Innovation and higher learning.
This Historical Railway Digitalization project is a new and exciting portal for the Future Generations project. A real time and real space historical collection portal.
A New Opportunity.
To Preserve this symbolic rite of passage to remember a railway and where we came from to become part of Canada and the Confederation Trail.
A very important Canadian symbol for today's new generation of Canada's.
- Why is this important to Prince Edward Island to appreciate Canada's 1871 Railway Act.
- What was our "Confederation Agreement", with Canada in 1873.
- How dose this effect us today as a province and as Prince Edward Islanders.
The Future Generation Project It's about respecting Canada's Confederation by creating cuuriculums and digital collection to preserve and protect this knowledge by sharing it and teaching it using new search engines and widgets for social networks.
This is important to Prince Edward Islanders becuase in 2008 our rights and privileges are still based upon these constitutional pillars that were worked for and fought for by generations of Prince Edward Islanders along with the rest of Canadians.
Today we have inherited these privileges.
Our island heritage and culture is on the line.
The old Prince Edward Island Railway line and Confederation Trail is an opportunity to track our history.
By educating islanders about this hard earned and hard fought for way of life on Prince Edward Island we protect it for future generation to come.
We can no longer afford to forget and neglect this very important part of Canada' history.
So we are asking The university of Prince Edward Island to continue to honor this historical railway platform and location along the Confederation Trail and PEIR as a symbolic link of transportation and communication connecting us to Confederation and it's people who come to learn and understand our world .
The old railway has turned into a Confederation trail and we are reconnecting this history and preserving this cultural content for Future Generations .
H. Wade MacLauchlan UPEI President and Vice-Chancellor congratulation on your membership into the Order Of Canada.
