To implement our mission statement, staff at the City of Summerside will:

The City of Summerside includes several departments: Mayor & Council, Administration, Finance, Human Resources & Legal Affairs, Information Technology, Culture Summerside, Municipal Services, Technical Services, and Community Services. We employ roughly 150 employees, depending on the season. The City of Summerside owns and operates its own electric utility, a unique feature for a municipality. The City also prides itself in being a leader in green energy, hosting a wind farm, solar farm, and having a fleet of electric vehicles, to name just a few of our innovative “green” initiatives. Summerside is also home to the state-of-the-art Credit Union Place and Summerside Dome, allowing us to host numerous high caliber sporting and concerts events. These, and other top-notch venues place the City as a leader in Sport Tourism and as a sought after host city.
