“A Lighthouse is a beacon of hope; a symbol of human Solidarity.”
-Gary Geddes, BC poet & author
The Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society is dedicated to preserving and protecting the Sheringham Point Lighthouse and other significant foreshore properties in Shirley. The Society’s mission is to is document and recognize the historic importance of the lighthouse and to ensure that the lighthouse and its historic route remain accessible and open to the public.
The Lighthouse
The Sheringham Point Lighthouse is located in Shirley, British Columbia, Canada, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island – an exposed section of the Juan de Fuca Strait, pounded by westerlies in the summer and easterlies in the winter. To assist shipwrecked mariners during these storms, the West Coast Trail was built. It is hiked every year by thousands of people from all over the world.
Critical Times Require Quick Action…
Please act today to Preserve and Protect our Lighthouse at Sheringham Point.
The federal government is in the process of making decisions about the heritage status of the lighthouse, land and access for Sheringham Point. Without your immediate action, the site may be lost forever. The Society has submitted all the required paperwork and now it is up to the Federal Government to decide whether or not the land and structure will be protected under the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act.
Your help TODAY will make the difference.
