The Village - Summerside

The Island Essentials Benefit will put money back into Islanders’ pockets starting July 2026.

As this benefit rolls out, it’s important to stay alert and avoid scams.

Here’s what you need to know:
• You do not need to provide your private details to be eligible, or to receive this benefit
• No one from the provincial or federal government will contact you directly to help you sign up for the Island Essentials Benefit
• Eligible Islanders will receive the benefit automatically after filing their 2025 tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency
