During 2011, the lighthouse was closed to visitors as construction crews moved in. An extensive structural and exterior restoration took place. ( See the Restoration Progress section.) Of special note, the west doors of the lighthouse have been restored. These doors were destroyed in a vicious “November Gale” of 1985 and the opening was filled in with concrete blocks at that time.
A special feature by CHCH TV on the Point Abino Lighthouse was broadcast on Monday May 25, 2015. Click on the link below to see why the lighthouse is one of the most aesthetically designed beacons on this side of the Great Lakes!!!
