Nous avons visité la reproduction de la salle de la confédération et avons eu la chance de pouvoir discuter avec Bill, un guide du musée parfaitement bilingue en français. Il nous a régalé d’élément historiques et d’une vision fraîche, éclairée et argumenté de sur les enjeux géopolitiques et économiques liés à l’avènement de la confédération. Nous nous attendions à une visite éclaire de ce petit endroit mais avons eu droit à une conversation enrichissante, quel plaisir !

I recently visited the Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown, and I was genuinely impressed. It’s such a unique place—part cultural hub, part architectural landmark, and full of Canadian history.

The building itself really stands out. It was designed in the 1960s by a group of Canadian architects known as ARCOP, and it’s a great example of early Brutalist architecture in Canada. You’ll notice the raw concrete and bold geometric shapes right away, but what’s cool is how well it blends into its surroundings. There’s a big open plaza, and the way the building brings in natural light and connects indoor and outdoor spaces is really thoughtful.

The Centre was built to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference, which helped shape the country, so there’s definitely a strong sense of national pride throughout the space. Inside, there’s an art gallery, performance halls, and of course the theatre that hosts Anne of Green Gables – The Musical, which has been running for decades.

Whether you’re into architecture, Canadian history, or just want to see a good show or explore some art, this place has something for everyone. I’d definitely recommend a visit—and if you can, take a guided tour to learn more about the design and the story behind it.

Walked into Confederation Centre of the Arts and got the warmest welcome from a lovely lady at the ticket counter—turns out she’s 70 but looks 50! Her positive vibe (and constant hellos to everyone) must be her secret fountain of youth. She even explained each section after I bought my ticket—super helpful! 😄 The Indigenous people’s art exhibition was a highlight.
It was captivating! Wished it was bigger—I could’ve lingered longer to soak in more. A gem with room to grow!

We went to go see Anne of Green Gables the musical. It had been a while since i’ve been to a live musical! The performers were amazing and the show was spectacular! However leaving the show was really disorganized and messy as well as during breaks. Everyone was shoving each other and when I was in line to get a drink during break this family butted in front of me, but hey there’s only so much the place can do! Overall, the staff was very friendly and the show is definitely worth to see! 👏🏻👏🏻

This theatre is top notch! Have seen: Anne of Green Gables, Telltale Harbor, Million Dollar Quartet. Their general staff are friendly, their production team creates breathtaking scenes props and effects, and the actors and directors create magic on stage. I am comparing this to the Mirvish production team in Toronto, and they hold up!
