Toronto Harbour Light
The Toronto Harbour Light is an automated lighthouse at Vicki Keith Point on the Leslie Street Spit in Toronto, Ontario. It is one of three lighthouses in Toronto and the only active one in the city.
Construction
The concrete structure was completed in 1974 by the then Toronto Harbour Commission. It is now operated by the Toronto Port Authority. The lighthouse is powered by a solar panel and directs shipping traffic along the Eastern Channel into Toronto Harbour.
