Lighthouse Dedication & Shingle-Signing Celebration On Saturday, December 9, 2023 from 1 - 3 pm., join the Port Royal Lighthouse Association (PRLA) in a joyful gathering to celebrate the restoration of the Schafner Point Lighthouse in Port Royal. In just over three months, the lighthouse was restored from top to bottom through an overwhelming show of support from our local community, and through a generous matching-funds grant from Parks Canada, support from the County of Annapolis, and Nova Scotia Heritage Trust. At 1 p.m. the festivities begin at the lighthouse with the dedication ceremony featuring:
A party and shingle signing to follow at the Lower Granville Hall, at 3551 Granville Road, Port Royal. If you donated time, materials, talent, expertise, or cash to this project, you are encouraged to come and sign your name on a shingle that will be mounted inside the lighthouse to commemorate the 2023 Great Restoration. If you've contributed to the project but live far away or are otherwise unable to attend, you can submit your name and message by email, and a shingle will be signed for you.

Exclusive Limited Edition Handmade Executive Pens from Reclaimed Lighthouse Wood Last fall, woodworker Bruce Amero contacted PRLA with an idea. He offered to craft executive pens from old wood that came out of the lighthouse during the renovation. We were touched and delighted by the suggestion, and carefully placed wood aside for the job. These handmade refillable pens are now complete, and there are 10 of them available for purchase at $100 each. The commemorative pens are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by craftsman Bruce. Each one is unique, and comes in a lovely gift box. To purchase a pen, please contact PRLA by phone 902-955-1955 (not text enabled) or email: PortRoyalLighthouseAssociation@gmail.com. Thank you Bruce for this generous and creative gesture of support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It Takes a Community to Save a Lighthouse To all of the community members who gave a cumulative total of hundreds of hours to make this restoration project possible, we salute you! Without these volunteers, the 2023 Great Restoration would not have been possible --
