Lighthouses of Central Ontario (Georgian Bay Area)

Simcoe County (Georgian Bay South Coast) Lighthouses

Collingwood and Wasaga Beach Lighthouses

Nottawasaga Island 1858 (John Brown). Officially inactive since 2003. 28.5 m (94 ft) round limestone tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a 1-1/2 story stone keepers house. Lighthouse painted white; lantern is red. Anderson has photos, Ali Brauda has a photo, and Huelse has a historic postcard view, but the island is very fuzzy in Google's satellite view. This is one of the six "Imperial Towers" built by the engineer John Brown on Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Gravely endangered, the lighthouse was added to the Lighthouse Digest Doomsday List in August 2003. Also in 2003, the Coast Guard announced it was abandoning this lighthouse and would not take action the next time its light failed. The outer wall of the tower was cracked badly, probably the result of lightning strikes, and a large section of the outer wall collapsed on the night of December 1-2, 2004. The Coast Guard photo at right shows this damage. Lighthouse Digest covered the story in January 2005. Fisheries and Oceans Canada allocated CA$230,000 to stabilize the lighthouse, and work was underway during the summer of 2005. A metal band was placed around the upper part of the lighthouse to guard against further collapse, the inner wall was coated and the space between the walls was sealed to prevent moisture damage. Lighthouse Digest reported on this work in February 2006. In November 2007 the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario met in Collingwood and was told that a full restoration will require replacement of the outer walls and will cost about CA$4.5 million. A preservation group, Friends of Nottawasaga Lighthouse, is seeking funds for restoration; it's thought that $4 million will be needed. As of 2009, progress was stalled by the economic recession. Located on a small island in the approach to Collingwood, about 5 km (3 mi) northwest of the town at the southern end of Georgian Bay. Accessible only by boat. Site and tower closed (bird sanctuary). Owner/site manager: Canadian Coast Guard. ARLHS CAN-356; Notmar 845. *** Nancy Island (replica of Collingwood Outer Range Front) 1967. Inactive. 9 m (30 ft) square pyramidal wood tower with lantern and gallery. Lighthouse painted white with red trim; the lantern roof is red. Donald Gorham has a page for the lighthouse, a 2008 photo is available, and Google has a satellite view. Built as part of the celebration of Canada's centennial in 1967, this lighthouse is a copy of the Collingwood Outer Range Front Light (1884-1961). The replica lighthouse was refurbished and rededicated in 2008. Nancy Island is an island in the Wasaga River, which flows parallel to the beach for several miles in the town of Wasaga Beach. The island is a historic site, displaying among other attractions the remains of the schooner HMS Nancy, sunk by American forces during the War of 1812. The lighthouse was refurbished and its siding was replaced in 2008. Parking for the park is on Mosley Street at Third Street North in Wasaga Beach, and access to the park is by a pedestrian bridge. The lighthouse is on Tower Island, a small island joined to Nancy Island by a second pedestrian bridge. Site open; tower open daily during the summer season. Owner/site manager: Ontario Parks (Nancy Island Historic Site).
