Without a Cornwall, PEI-specific StatsCan figure, the province’s numbers are the closest honest benchmark available. As one of the fastest-growing communities on the Island, just outside Charlottetown, Cornwall has attracted buyers looking for newer, more spacious housing than the capital offers, and that pace of construction consistently outpaces how quickly new homeowners get around to installing security. Monitored security keeps up with that growth directly: entry sensors, motion coverage, and a 24/7 professional response the moment something trips, plus fire, flood, and CO monitoring through the Island’s winters.
