History
The 1973 Centennial Celebration Act (19 Elizabeth II, 1970, Chapter 4) established the Prince Edward Island 1973 Centennial Commission. The Commission was responsible for celebrations in commemoration of the one hundredth anniversary of Prince Edward Island’s joining Canadian Confederation. The 1970 act established an eight-member commission. An amendment to the act in 1971 (20 Elizabeth II, 1971, Chapter 3) stipulated a Commission of at least 12 members. Members of the commission included: Hon. Robert C. Schurman, Chairman; R. Irwin Jenkins, Executive Director; A. E. Ings; G. A. MacDonald; Col. R. Roy Sturgess; John Butler; Mrs. Louie Marchbank; J. Charles Hogan; Dr. J. A. Dorion; Frederick Hyndman; Miss Mary Frances Smith; Daniel J. Compton; Hon. Bruce L. Stewart; G. Lorne Monkley; Senator M. Lorne Bonnell; and Mrs. Catherine Hennessey.
