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 --
  • Dozens of painters priming shingles and painting trim at Mary Ritchie's Thexton Greenhouses.  Painting roof shingles and corner boards in Port Royal.
  • Richard Morrison and his crew of volunteers milling lumber at Morrison's mill--lumber delivered to the site!
  • Installing the shingles: A skilled labour of love by Susan & Rob McGregor, Phil Unruh, Ken Maher, Andrew Welch, Gary Ewer, Terry Dale, Randy Swigart, and Allan Holtz.
  • Restoration of the lantern gallery topper by Ian Lawrence, Dale Fetinko, and Allan Holtz.
  • Restoration and installation of the lighthouse door by Jerry Dick, Medea Holtz, and Dave Thompson.
  • Custom trim work by Dave Thompson.
  • Scraping, glazing, and painting window and door trim by Cynthia Hawkins, Terry Dale, Kathy Kayo, Medea and Allan Holtz.
  • Project photos (including those in this newsletter) by Randy Swigart.
