Tim Banks is the CEO of APM, a Canada wide construction and property development company, with its
head office in Charlottetown, PEI. My family has lived on PEI for over eight generations and I was born
at the Prince County Hospital in Summerside, PEI. I am hoping someone will soon develop a blood test
to authenticate when you actually become an "Islander" as I am still having problems explaining where
I'm from?

That’s why your
audience
research is so
important.
