Driver Education Courses Now Available
The Municipality has announced a new initiative aimed at supporting young residents and promoting safer roads by helping students access formal driver education. Beginning this year, the Municipality will provide a grant covering 50% of the cost for students who enroll in an approved driver education course.
The municipality is pleased to also offer Adult and Senior Driving Programs as part of its community driving initiative. Programs include Defensive Driving courses for experienced drivers and driver refresher sessions for adults and seniors, delivered through Safe Driver’s PEI. These sessions focus on road safety, current traffic laws, and building confidence behind the wheel.
Registration for these programs is required and is available here. Please email your forms to communityofmalpequebay@gmail.com.

Municipality Supports Local Minor Hockey
The Rural Municipality of Malpeque Bay recently purchased jerseys for teams within the Kensington Minor Hockey Association on behalf of area residents.
The jerseys proudly display the Municipality’s name, recognizing Council’s continued support of local youth sports and community recreation.
Dedicated RCMP Presence in the Municipality
We are pleased to confirm that an agreement with the Department of Justice and Public Safety for enhanced policing services in the Municipality of Malpeque Bay has been approved.
As part of this agreement, we are happy to announce that our municipality now has a designated RCMP officer. This dedicated presence will help ensure increased safety, quicker response times, and a stronger connection between law enforcement and our community.
Importantly, this new service will be fully covered by a provincial tax credit, which means no additional cost to residents.
We look forward to the positive impact this added support will bring to Malpeque Bay.
