Due to the current COVID-19 situation, the Council has made the decision to close the Municipal Office to the public effective immediately and until, at least, April 7th.
If you wish to contact the Council, please do so through email at cao.rmek@bellaliant.com or by telephone at 902-357-2894. We will be monitoring both.
Development permits and applications for subdivision or consolidation will not be a high priority right now; if you can hold off until the office re-opens, that would be appreciated.
Council has also made the decision to cancel the meeting scheduled for March 24th; we will defer to the next meeting scheduled for April 14th. Given the direction by the Chief Public Health Officer, Heather Morrison, we felt this was the prudent decision to make.
Thank you for your patience during this unsettling time.

The Rural Municipality of Eastern Kings is the most eastern municipality in Prince Edward Island, located within the Points East Coastal Drive. The Municipality was incorporated in 1974 and has a population of approximately 700 permanent residents; in the summertime, it grows rapidly as our summer residents flock to their cottages and homes. Within the area from Red Point, to East Point, down the North Side to Bull Creek Road and all points in between, you will find farmland, a fishing harbour, a lighthouse built in 1867, a railway station, fabulous beaches, campgrounds, churches, many businesses and some of the greatest people you could ever hope to meet.
Eastern Kings is governed under the Municipal Government Act (MGA) of 2017 and operates with a Mayor and six Councillors; the current Mayor and Council were elected in November of 2018 and the next election will take place in 2022. Under the MGA, the Council is responsible for: municipal planning services, including an official plan and bylaws; emergency measures planning; and fire protection, which it purchases from the Eastern Kings Fire Department.
The Council employs a Chief Administrative Officer who is responsible for the day to day running of the Municipality and works out of the Council Office on Munn's Road. The Municipal Office is open every Tuesday and Friday from 0900 to 1600. Municipal Council meetings are held on a monthly basis (second Tuesday) and all residents are welcome to attend.
Eastern Kings is a wonderful place in the world to live, work and play. Whether you are here year round, in the summer, or visiting, we hope that you will find the information on this website useful. If you have any comments on what you see (or don't see) here, please do not hesitate to contact the Council via our Contact page.
