A Journey to Peter's Island Lighthouse

What a fantastic Sunday spent on Peter’s Island! 🌞🏝️ It was a perfect day for exploring, and it also gave me a whole new perspective on the challenges of lighthouse restoration. The Peter’s Island Lighthouse, active since 1850, is in need of repairs; however, the island’s remote location between Westport, Brier Island, and Freeport makes the logistics and transportation of materials a significant challenge.

A huge thank you to Sail² (Save a Lighthouse), whose dedication to preserving our maritime heritage is truly invaluable. Established in 2015, Sail² operates under the Islands Historical Society.  Sail² has been actively pursuing funding opportunities to support the restoration projects. Open to anyone passionate about history and preservation, the Sail² Subcommittee works tirelessly to ensure that these iconic lighthouses continue to stand as vibrant symbols of our maritime history for generations to come. The Peter's Island lighthouse was designated a heritage site in 2021 under Canada’s Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, acknowledging its historical significance.

universités peut certes influencer la perception des employeurs, mais il ne doit pas éclipser d’autres critères essentiels comme l’expérience pratique, les compétences linguistiques et le réseautage. Cet article offre une analyse équilibrée sur la manière dont les étudiants internationaux peuvent valoriser leur profil au-delà du simple rang institutionnel. Pour ceux qui s’intéressent également aux options d’études à l’étranger et au coût comparatif des universités, je vous invite à consulter : <a href="https://jakarta.telkomuniversity.ac.id/en/how-much-does-public-vs-private-college-cost/">Telkom University Jakarta</a>.
