		Lighthouses have been sources of salvation to sailors in littoral waters for hundreds of years, and they have served as the centres of coastal communities and coastal interaction.
		In the past, lighthouses were burned down, lighthouses were blown up, and lighthouses were sledge-hammered, because it is not in the public interest to leave buildings of any kind, heritage or not, neglected and vulnerable to vandalism.
		In addition, Canadian Heritage and Parks Canada are working with partners to build three essential tools to support engagement in the initiative: a Canadian register of historic places; conservation standards and guidelines; and a certification process to determine eligibility of expenses and proposals within the new HPI contribution program announced in the 2003 federal budget.

		Typically, Canadian lighthouses are made of wood, are square or octagonal and are painted red and white, a pattern that pre-dates the Canadian flag, Conlin says.
		Lighthouses fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government, which means there is little anyone can do to save them without federal approval.
		In October 2002, lighthouses were thrown a lifeline by the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, Bill S-7, but the bill died on the Order Paper when Parliament concluded its latest session.

	Lighthouses@Lighthouse Digest ... Canada’s St. Andrews Lighthouse on the Road to Restoration
		Andrews Light is the oldest lighthouse on New Brunswick’s mainland, and one of only nine remaining octagonal wooden lighthouses in the province.

		The lighthouse’s unique lantern was successfully removed from the lighthouse this past July, and was transported by truck to a local community college where it will be determined what parts can be salvaged and what needs to be fabricated.

		A circular brick tower fifty-six feet high, the beacon of the Fisgard Island Lighthouse was illuminated by a coal-oil light and fitted with a dioptric apparatus to project the beam.
