On May 11, 2023, Charlottetown's airport was officially renamed Charlottetown Alexander B. Campbell Airport, honoring Alex Campbell, the longest-serving premier of Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) from 1966 to 1978. Campbell, who was surprised by the honor, discussed his transformative political legacy during an interview on CBC's This is P.E.I. podcast. He noted that his time in office was not something he initially sought, having been encouraged to enter politics after opening his law practice in Summerside. Campbell's tenure was marked by significant reforms, including the merger of St. Dunstan's University and Prince of Wales College, which led to the establishment of the University of Prince Edward Island. He emphasized the importance of education and healthcare, introducing equalized property taxation and medicare in the province. Reflecting on his career, Campbell expressed pride in his contributions and urged Islanders to treat each other with kindness. His political journey concluded in 1978 when he transitioned to the P.E.I. Supreme Court, where he continued to advocate for community values.
