Our Current Board Of Directors

The Friends of Cabot Head, a not-for-profit organization, was formed by a group of concerned area citizens to take over the restoration, maintenance and management of Historic Cabot Head Lightstation. Agreements were made with the Canadian Coast Guard and then Lindsey Township and now the municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula, and in the period from 1994-1996, major renovation work was done on the Lighthouse using limited grant money and volunteer labour and expertise.

Social sharing

Shingles - high and low

The Light station was sided in cedar shingles. Over time - wear and tear had made them brittle and the paint had flaked off.

Shingles fixed and painted

scaped, cleaned, primed and painted - the shingles look as good as new!

The old eaves

The eaves on the lighthouse were in dismal shape, needed to be removed, refurbished and restored.

Eaves After

Sanded, scrapped, and renewed.

Front of Lighthouse Before

The paint was chipped, many shingles damaged beyond repair and windows and door frames rotted out...

Front of Lighthouse during restoration

The windows and door frames were repaired. Primer needed to be applied over the old oil based paint, and 2 coats of finish required to make the lighthouse bright and shiny!

The ever leaking turret

The ceiling has leaked for a long time, many attempts were made to repair the leak EUREKA! we now see what the issue is!

Repairs to the Turret

Repairs done - tubes and tubes of caulking applied, new wood, and the leak is fixed!
