National Lighthouse Day HistoryNational Lighthouse Day in Canada is celebrated to honor and recognize the importance of lighthouses in the country's maritime history. Lighthouses have been an integral part of navigation since the 18th century, guiding ships through the treacherous coastlines of Canada. National Lighthouse Day was officially recognized by the Canadian government in 2018 to celebrate the important role that lighthouses have played in the country's development, especially in the earlier years when waterways were the primary mode of transportation. The first lighthouse constructed in Canada was the Louisbourg Lighthouse in Nova Scotia in 1734. It was followed by numerous other lighthouses in the coming years, with each one serving a specific purpose, whether it was to guide ships through coastal channels, warn them of nearby rocks, or mark the entrance to a harbor. The day is marked by various events and activities, including tours of lighthouses, special exhibitions, and performances. It is also an opportunity to remember the brave and selfless efforts of lighthouse keepers, who, in the past, spent long and solitary hours manning these beacons of safety, ensuring the safety of countless travellers. National Lighthouse Day is observed annually on August 7th. National Lighthouse Day facts
