What a great morning !

We want to send a thank you to Alec Parise, Ph.D. for joining the Rotary Club of Summerside and delivering such an insightful talk on the impact of AI in healthcare.

Alec brought a powerful perspective on how explainable AI is shaping clinical decision making, improving patient outcomes, and building trust between technology and practitioners.

His ability to connect advanced research with real world healthcare challenges made the conversation both accessible and inspiring.

We’re grateful for the time, knowledge, and passion shared with our members. Conversations like this are exactly what help our community stay informed and forward thinking.

Thank you again, Alec. We look forward to continuing the conversation.

Great Rotary meeting yesterday, hearing from Lee Turner, the new CEO of Food Island Partnership!

Lee shared how the organization works behind the scenes to help food entrepreneurs and companies grow — providing connections, guidance, market insight, and support to help Island food products succeed locally and beyond.

The goal is simple but powerful: make Prince Edward Island one of the best places in the world to start and scale a food business.

Having recently stepped into the CEO role after more than two decades working in the food and beverage sector across Atlantic Canada, Lee brings strong commercial experience and a broad perspective to the position.

It was a great overview of how collaboration across producers, processors, and partners helps strengthen PEI’s food economy.

Thanks for the insightful presentation, Lee
