The information on this page provides greater detail and answers to some common questions we have had about the CAMRT-ATL for members in Prince Edward Island.
Voting
Voting took place from June 14th to June 27th, 2021. All eligible CAMRT members (non-student) received an email on Monday, June 14th with confidential login information for voting. 34.2% of eligible voters cast a ballot, well exceeding the minimum number of votes required for a valid vote. The results were a resounding YES in favour of the implementation of the CAMRT-Atlantic model.
Provincially, the YES votes break down as follows:
| Province | Voter Turnout | Percentage in FAVOUR |
| Newfoundland & Labrador | 29% | 92.6% |
| New Brunswick | 31.7% | 87.2% |
| Nova Scotia | 33.6% | 70.4% |
| Prince Edward Island | 69.4% | 90.7% |
The results give us a solid mandate to work with you to establish a representative advisory council, hire a dedicated provincial/regional manager, and to implement this transition in time for the 2022 membership year.
We will keep you informed throughout this process.
