The Metis Lighthouse Preservation Project aims to restore and preserve the historic Pointe Mitis Lighthouse.  The municipality of Métis-sur-Mer has a unique opportunity to acquire the site and operate it in collaboration with a regional heritage organization (HLSL - Heritage Lower Saint Lawrence) and a local not-for-profit citizen group (ARPP - Association des Résidents de la Pointe du Phare de Métis-sur-Mer).  However, after years of disuse, much work is required to restore this symbol of the greater Metis area to its former glory.   ARPP is leading efforts to seek funding from government agencies, foundations and private individuals to refurbish the lighthouse tower and associated buildings.  Financial and civic support is needed to move the project forward.
