One of Canada’s six Imperial Towers, the Nottawasaga Lighthouse, which is located at the approach to Collingwood Harbor, Georgian Bay, on Lake Huron, may soon be lost.
It is estimated that it would cost 4. 5 million to save the tower that last received a $200,000 stabilization project ion 2005.
The lighthouse was one of six limestone towers built in the Georgian Bay in the late 1850s, which collectively became known as the Imperial Towers. The other Imperial Towers, all in Canada, are Point Clark, Chantry Island, Cove Island, Griffith Island and Christian Island. Many now believe that the historic Nottawasaga Island Lighthouse will soon collapse and be lost forever, which would be a travesty.
