*** About Fisgard Lighthouse: Fisgard Lighthouse, established in 1860, marks a significant cultural and historical site in Canadian maritime history. As the first lighthouse on the west coast of Canada, it was built to guide vessels through the treacherous waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Situated at Fort Rodd Hill, the lighthouse not only served a practical role in maritime safety but also became a symbol of the enduring human spirit, guarding the shores and those who navigate them. Today, it stands preserved as a National Historic Site of Canada, offering educational tours that highlight its operational history and the lifesaving roles played by similar structures along the coast.
