5. Does the lighthouse still serve as an aid to navigation? 
Although the light was automated in 1972, it continued to function for navigational purposes until 1997 when it was fully decommissioned by DFO. Since then, the municipality of Métis-sur-Mer has operated and maintained the tower and its light for aesthetic purposes. It remains an important visual landmark to passing vessels and sailboats.
