Islanders can start celebrating 2017 a few days early at the Charlottetown waterfront.
The number six had been removed from the big, red 2016 date display at the waterfront — leaving 201.
But in recent days, the number seven was added to the date, albeit a few days before the year officially changes to 2017. CBC P.E.I.'s Brian Higgins noticed the number seven's arrival sooner than expected.
