On an uninhabited island just off the community of Westport, Nova Scotia, a part of the community’s past is quietly disintegrating but volunteers will soon arrive from across North America, to bring that structure back to life, reports CBC News.
CBC News writes:
The Peter Island lighthouse was built in 1909 to guide ships through treacherous tides and thick fog at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. ‘The lighthouse is such an iconic looking lighthouse on this rugged island… It really doesn’t get more beautiful…’
… Since 2015, volunteers with a community group called Save an Island Lighthouse have been working to preserve the structure…
The first phase of the work will involve replacing rotten sections of wood and weather-proofing the structure. New shingles and fresh paint is part of the plan for next year…
