The Prince Edward Island Fishermen's Association (PEIFA) was originally formed in the early 1950's to enable Island fishers to discuss the effects of a proposed trap limit. While holding community meetings across the Island to discuss the issue, fishers soon realized the need for a representative group to express their concerns to government on a host of industry issues.They also recognized the benefit of an organization through which they could communicate between themselves, their communities and with fisher organizations in other provinces. The primary objective was to approach the federal government with one, united voice.
Prior to July 15th, 1891 various itinerant dental practitioners served the dental needs of the people of Prince Edward Island. They would set up shop for a period of time in hotel rooms they had rented for the summer or winter. There were also some practitioners in the latter part of the 19th century who located in Summerside or Charlottetown having moved from New England or one of the other maritime provinces.In 1891, the provincial government introduced the first legislation in the province to regulate the dental profession, and the act required registration and the attainment of certain educational and practice standards. In 1902, this was amended and the Prince Edward Dental Society was incorporated with a Council to be formed from members of the profession to oversee the regulation and licensing of the dentists of PEI. The Provincial Secretary of the government still signed the certificates and assessed the qualifications although a Registrar of the council was to be named who kept in '' the PEI Dental Register '' the names of those who qualified.In 1904, the legislation was again amended and, at that time the sections relating to the assessment of qualifications were repealed and the self-regulation powers of the council were established.
