CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Teresa Zhang, her husband Miles Miao and son Harris Miao attended their first ever levees on Jan. 1 in Charlottetown.
Starting at Government House, the family had plans to head to levees at City Hall, Confederation Centre and wherever else the rest of the day takes them.
Thousands of Islanders were expected to attend levees across P.E.I. Wednesday, upholding a tradition that dates back literally hundreds of years.
In Prince Edward Island levees are hosted by virtually all levels of government, as well as by military personnel, service clubs and organizations, fraternal organizations, the church, academic bodies and a variety of other groups.
Levees traditionally begin mid-morning and continue into late afternoon. Some stretch into the early evening.
