Islander’s Almanac: Charlottetown 2026

The Islander’s Almanac: Charlottetown 2026 is a new locally produced non-fiction book by John O’Hanley. It can be seen as a PEI alternative to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.

The 138-page paperback features daily information on local tides, weather norms, and astronomical events, and was created and printed on PEI. Weather norms are calculated using daily data from Environment Canada for the Charlottetown Airport from 1962 to 2011 inclusive. Tide information—shown weekly and daily—is specific to Charlottetown Harbour, while astronomical phenomena are calculated using Charlottetown’s latitude and longitude.

Designed for ease of use, the book lays flat and displays a full week of data across two facing pages. A tidal curve is shown for both the whole week and for each day, along with times for high and low tides. Example pages can be viewed at github.com/johanley/almanac.

The book can be purchased in Charlottetown at Bookmark (111 Kent St) and The Bookman (117 Queen St).
