Lighthouse and North America

Halifax Harbour: From its rocky perch two kilometres from shore, the lighthouse is striking, according to CTV. For many immigrants, it would be a first look at a new home. As North America oldest standing lighthouse, the structure has been guarding the entrance to the Halifax Harbour since 1759. For soldiers heading off to fight the world wars, it was the last thing they saw as Canada faded from view. Despite a rich history, the lighthouse is falling apart. I, in my heart, believe that this is Canada Statue of Liberty, says Sue Paul, of the Lighthouse Heritage Society. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
