The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg, home to the Lighthouse Route, is alarmed over Ottawa’s plan to divest itself of lighthouses across the province.

There are 12 lighthouses in Lunenburg County.

Mayor Don Downe said municipalities across Nova Scotia should work with the province to see what they can do to save some of these lighthouses.

"None of us have any money," Downe said, who described the divestiture process as disjointed.

"Maybe there’s something we can do collaboratively."
