8. Who is involved in preserving the lighthouse?
Heritage Lower Saint Lawrence (HLSL, a regional not-for-profit cultural organization) submitted a petition in 2008 and again in 2010 to nominate the Pointe Mitis Lighthouse for designation as a heritage lighthouse. Subsequently, a local citizen group (the Association des Résidents de la Pointe du Phare de Métis-sur-Mer, ARPP) has worked with the municipality of Métis-sur-Mer to develop a business plan for the restoration and operation of the lighthouse site. The three organizations are still working together to save this important community icon.
