In the midst of its 10th anniversary celebrations, Cape Jourimain Nature Centre finds itself battling to save one of its popular attractions.

The 140-year-old lighthouse on the grounds of the nature centre was declared as surplus by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans in May 2010, along with approximately 490 other inactive lighthouses across the country.

Cape Jourimain Nature Centre, which operates as a non-profit organization, now faces a dilemma in determining if they can take the appropriate steps to save the lighthouse.
