Order of Prince Edward Island
The Order of Prince Edward Island was established in 1996 as the highest distinction conferred citizen of the province in the name of the Crown. The O.P.E.I. is a unique way of recognizing and honouring those Islanders who have shown individual excellence and outstanding leadership in their community and in their chosen occupation or profession. It is awarded annually following a public nomination process with recipients being selected by an independent nine-person Advisory Council. The Insignia of the Order is presented by the Lieutenant Governor at a special investiture ceremony at Government House in Charlottetown.
