Welcome to the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society

 

Sheringham Light Station 100 Years Service to the West Coast

"A Lighthouse is a beacon of hope;

a symbol of human Solidarity."   Gary Geddes, BC poet & author

 

The Sheringham Point Lighthouse is located in Shirley, British Columbia, Canada, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island - an exposed section of the Juan de Fuca Strait, pounded by westerlies in the summer and easterlies in winter. To assist the shipwrecked during these storms, the West Coast Trail was built. It is hiked every year by thousands of people from all over the world.

The Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society is dedicated to preserving and protecting the Sheringham Point Light house and other significant foreshore properties in Shirley. The Society's mission is to is document and recognize the historic importance of the lighthouse and to ensure that the lighthouse and its historic route remain accessible and in public hands.
