Notes on this record

  • No Charlottetown or PEI 'top employers' list with headcounts was reachable. The province's site (princeedwardisland.ca, which also hosts Health PEI) served a Radware bot-protection page, so the provincial government, Health PEI and Public Schools Branch rows rest on JobsPEI and their own job pages, without headcounts.
  • Blocked or unreachable 2026-10-30: princeedwardisland.ca and healthpei.ca (Radware challenge); maritimeelectric.com (robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot — Maritime Electric, Fortis's PEI utility headquartered in Charlottetown, could not be verified on its own site and is left out); gov.pe.ca, flypei.com, islandcapitalpartners.ca/.com, diamondtech.ca, somrubioscience.com (robots.txt unreachable, treated as disallowed); startupzone.ca now shows unrelated spam content; huddle.today robots disallows anthropic-ai; betakit.com not used (terms).
  • Leads not recorded: PayTic (Entrevestor, May 2022: 'Charlottetown-based PayTic' raised C$2.95M led by Build Ventures with Island Capital Partners, Concrete Ventures and Outlierz Ventures — its own site rendered no text, so it could not be vetted); Somru BioScience and Diamond Technologies (sites unreachable); Tracktile and Stemble Learning (ACOA calls them Island-based but their sites do not name a city); Chinova Bioworks (Charlottetown production job posting; HQ city not stated); Cavendish Farms (PEI jobs, but no Charlottetown site stated).
