[BCMA] Heritage Lighthouses

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Thanks for the reminder and update on this Rick.  The Land Conservancy
of BC will be moving forward with a number of nominations in the coming
weeks, and we are prepared to help coordinate a holistic approach to
figuring out what we can/should be doing with respect to Lighthouse
protection over the longer term.  That includes both the nomination
process and then the much more detailed and involved process of taking
on responsibility for those lighthouses that the Government will be
declaring surplus (which is a lot).

 

At this stage, we want to gather information about who is interested in
any specific Lighthouse(s).  If your organization, your community or
your municipality has a specific interest in protecting the future of a
Lighthouse in BC would you please get in touch with us.  Either contact
myself or Deborah Hudson at:  ifawcett at conservancy.bc.ca   or  
dhudson at conservancy.bc.ca , or call at (250) 479-8053.

 

Thanks everyone,

Ian

DESIGNATING HERITAGE LIGHTHOUSES

 

Under the federal Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, Canadians can now
nominate lighthouses for designation and protection.  Nominations will
be accepted until May 29, 2012, and will be considered by the Historic
Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.  So far, 56 lighthouses have been
nominated, but only three from B.C.
