As a reminder, fireworks are prohibited without the required license and permit.

Under provincial regulations, fireworks may only be set off by a person licensed through Natural Resources Canada who has obtained a permit to hold and display fireworks. These requirements apply to both public and private fireworks displays.

The City of Charlottetown’s Nuisance Bylaw also prohibits setting off fireworks within city limits unless specifically authorized or permitted.

Unauthorized fireworks pose a serious public safety risk, including the potential for fires, injuries and property damage. Residents are asked to follow provincial regulations and municipal bylaws and refrain from setting off fireworks without the required approvals.

For more information about provincial fireworks regulations and permits, contact the P.E.I. Fire Marshal’s Office at 902-368-4869.

UPDATE: Traffic has returned to normal in most areas of the city.

Thanks to all of the crews and first responders who supported the swift response and are continuing to address the remaining issues.

———-

Following today's severe storm, we want to remind drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to use extra caution as flooding, debris and power outages have created some challenges for commuters.

Be advised there are a number of detours and temporary road closures throughout the city as crews and officers work to resolve these hazards.

As a reminder, please treat non-functioning traffic signals as all-way stops.

Please slow down, stay alert and be safe.

Charlottetown Police Services (CPS) is warning the public about an ongoing telephone scam involving individuals impersonating Charlottetown Police officers.

Investigators have learned fraudsters are using spoofing technology to make the calls appear as though they originate from Charlottetown Police. In many of these reports, an officer identifies themselves as “Officer Miller”. It is worth noting that CPS does not have an Officer Miller on staff. The fraudsters then attempt to obtain personal or financial information from the victim.

Spoofing is a type of fraud where the caller ID is manipulated, and in the incidents reported to CPS, it displays our non-emergency number “902-629-4172” and appears as “City of Charlottetown”.

Police will never request your personal information to verify your identity over the phone, nor will they use your financial information to verify your identity. If someone claims to be from Charlottetown Police, ask for their name, file number, and reason for the call.

Safety tips to help prevent fraud:
• Do not provide personal, banking, or financial information over the phone.
• Hang up immediately and block the phone number, if possible.
• Contact Charlottetown Police directly to verify the legitimacy of the call.

Charlottetown Police Services is encouraging anyone who may have received a suspicious or potentially fraudulent call to report it by calling (902) 629-4172 or by contacting PEI Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or peicrimestoppers.com.

Charlottetown Police Services Major Crime Unit, in collaboration with Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), have arrested an individual in Charlottetown following a cybercrime investigation.

CPS began working with officers from the OPP’s Cybercrime Investigations Team in fall 2025 to investigate an individual who was residing in Charlottetown. In November 2025, officers from CPS and OPP executed a search warrant at a residence in Charlottetown where investigators seized multiple electronic devices.

As a result of the investigation, on August 12, 2026, Chukwunonso Madubuike was arrested and charged, with the following offences:

• Unauthorized use of a computer (s. 342 CCC)
• Fraud over $5,000 (s. 380 CCC)

Madubuike has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orillia on September 8, 2026.

This investigation demonstrates the importance of inter-jurisdictional intelligence-gathering and collaboration. CPS would like to commend the OPP for their steadfast approach and dedication to combatting cybercrime.
