To ensure that the heritage resources of the Nottawasaga Island Lighthouse are protected through restoration and preservation of the lighthouse & keeper’s residence in a manner that respects their significant and irreplaceable historical legacy, and by encouraging public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of this marine heritage through the development of visitor activities, facilities and educational services. Ensure that the heritage resources of the Nottawasaga Island Lighthouse and island are protected against further human and environmental degradation. December, 2015,The Nottawasaga Lighthouse Preservation Society (NLPS) received charitable status. This has been a long term goal of the steering committee, created by Krista King from Collingwood, Ontario in 2012. This will allow the NLPS to move forward on several fundraising initiatives in 2016, seek grants, corporate funding, and many more opportunities. The NLPS will continue to work with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to acquire ownership of the lighthouse, and historical land, which will allow restoration efforts to commence.
