PEI Council of People with Disabilities the newest addition at
Landmark Plaza
The Guardian
May 26, 2009
The PEI Council of People with Disabilities has relocated their
main Charlottetown branch to Landmark Plaza. The Council had
formerly occupied a third floor office at the Confederation
Court Mall. It was necessary for them to relocate in order to
provide uninterrupted provision of their services, as Homburg
continues the redevelopment of the Confederation Court Mall and
construction of their new hotel development. The not-for-profit
organization supporting persons with disabilities now has ground
floor access to a professionally designed and developed space in
Landmark Plaza at 5 Lower Malpeque Road.
The Council provides services to individuals with disabilities
in housing, education, accessibility, employment,
transportation, human rights and accessing additional support
programs. On May 20th Executive Director Marcia Carroll invited
the general public and partners to celebrate the opening of
their new facility. Council President Anne McPhee and other
Board members were on hand for the celebrations and thanked the
Honourble Doug Currie, Minister of Social Services and Seniors,
Shawn Murphy, Member of Parliament for Charlottetown, and City
of Charlottetown Councillors Danny Redmond and Mitchell Tweel
for their support and assistance. Ms. Carroll invited Minister
Currie to share a few words and he spoke extremely highly of the
organization’s work, their staff and contribution to people with
disabilities and all Islanders alike.
The building is part of the APM development situated in
Charlottetown’s regional services area that also includes APM
Place. In close proximity to the Royalty Power Centre,
Charlottetown Mall and West Royalty Industrial Park as well as
the growing communities of West Royalty and Cornwall, the
development provides ease of access to tenants, clients and
customers with significant parking and views of Ellen’s Creek to
the properties rear. APM MacLean and Landmark Plaza are in close
proximity to the intersection of Lower Malpeque Road and Capital
Drive, the former Trans-Canada Highway.
The PEI Council of People with Disabilities joins Farm Credit
Canada and Benjamin Moore’s House of Excellence as occupants in
Landmark Plaza and brings the building to full occupancy.
