Our mission is to provide the public with all the information, photos, stories and facts we have collected about our Nova Scotia lighthouses, their keepers and changing government lighthouse policies.

Purposes:

• to make the history of Nova Scotia's lighthouses widely available to the public
• to encourage and support the preservation and community ownership of Nova Scotia's lighthouses
• encourage and support lighthouse research
• to give information about NSLPS and enhance our public image
