Equality Report Card

The Equality Report Card, a process to assess Prince Edward Island’s progress toward gender equality goals, was initiated by the PEI Advisory Council on the Status of Women in 2007. The 2026 Equality Report Card is the 8th of its kind, and a unique publication across Canada.

The 2026 Report Card assesses government’s progress through the first years of its current mandate, which began in April 2023.

Background Report

The Background Report explains the community consultation methods, the timeline of the process, and other important background information on the creation of the Equality Report Card. The Advisory Council held multiple focus groups, including with seniors, indigenous women, rural women, past Chairpersons of the Advisory Council, and Francophone women, to name a few. Digital surveys allowed folks to reply with their views and experiences of the topic areas outlined in the assessment model. The surveys were sent to approximately 90 community organizations connected to equality and diversity work.
