Resort municipalities

Prince Edward Island has one municipality holding resort municipality status. The Resort Municipality of Stanley Bridge, Hope River, Bayview, Cavendish and North Rustico was established as a resort municipality in 1990. The province's {{abbr|MGA|Municipal Government Act}} allows this resort municipality to continue yet prevents the establishment of additional resort municipalities in the future.

With general municipal elections occurring every four years, the next municipal election is scheduled for November 2022. If the population of the lone resort municipality reaches 2,000 electors, it may be incorporated as a different type of municipality pursuant to the {{abbr|MGA|Municipal Government Act}}.
