Its Back: Parking Ticket Forgiveness Program
For the month of October, if you receive a parking meter ticket in Downtown Charlottetown you are eligible to have it forgiven, using a purchase receipt of $35 or more from a downtown business.


Program in Partnership with the
Small Business Week (SBW) takes place October 16-21
We are preparing a series of events to celebrate you – please join us.
Dollars4Dollars
For every $50 a customer spends at your businesses within the BIA* during Small Business Week they can receive $10 Downtown Dollars. 
How It Works: Customers take their receipts from their purchase(s) at downtown businesses (within BIA*) to the DCI office. DCI will process their receipts and award them their Downtown Dollars earned.
 
Shop n Stroll – Sidewalk Sale
We are planning our 3rd annual SBW Sidewalk Sale to take place Friday, Oct 20, 2023. 

Specialized Sales & Promotions
Running a sale or promo, let us help you promote it.

Email to sign up for any (or ALL) of the programs above.

Coats for Kids 2023
Coats for Kids has begun. Bring your gently used or new coats, snowsuits, hats, mitts, boots etc to our Drop off Depot in the Confederation Court Mall. Infant to Teen sizes needed.

Why not put together an office donation! A great way to give back to the community and those in need.

Items are all cleaned by Sterns Laundry and then distributed by Salvation Army Charlottetown.

DCI Welcomes the following new businesses to our Downtown
Charlottetown Psychological and Therapeutic Services located at 134 Kent St. (4th floor Holman Office Tower),
A BIG THANK YOU to our Vendors & Community!
It was another amazing summer at the Downtown Farmers' and Artisans' Market on lower Queen St. We welcomed an average 80 vendors weekly, each featuring beautiful Island made or grown products. We enjoyed record numbers of visitors/shoppers, averaging 3,100 daily & up to 4,200 during July.

We hope you will join us again next year for the 2024 Downtown Farmers & Artisans’ Market season.
