Abstract
Living in the smallest province in Canada, Prince Edward Island, has its advantages and disadvantages. As a researcher in education, focusing on family literacy and inclusion, it is a privilege to work closely with teachers and families in the province. It is a community built on relationships and respecting relationships is critical if one wishes to research in the community. One of the challenges is that often you work in isolation, as there is not a critical mass of researchers in your field, and you need to depend on community alliances. The alliances are often with the school districts, Department of Education and community groups.
