Toronto Harbour Light

Toronto Harbour Light, Navigation lighthouse at Leslie Street Spit, Toronto, Canada.

Toronto Harbour Light is a concrete lighthouse at Vicki Keith Point on the Leslie Street Spit, completed in 1974 by the Toronto Harbour Commission and now operated by the Toronto Port Authority. It is powered by a solar panel and guides shipping along the Eastern Channel into the Toronto Inner Harbour. The fenced site also holds an unused generator, a satellite dish, an unoccupied hut and a diesel generator hut with visible arson damage.

This lighthouse was built in 1974 by the Toronto Harbour Commission after a peninsula developed from harbor dredging materials starting in 1959. The new artificial landmass required a navigational aid to safely guide ships through the harbor waters.

The light marks Vicki Keith Point, named after the swimmer who crossed Lake Ontario; the Leslie Street Spit it stands on is a man-made peninsula built from harbour dredging. The site is fenced off and its idle structures, including a solar panel in disrepair and an arson-damaged generator hut, are often covered in graffiti.

The lighthouse is accessible only by foot or bicycle since private vehicles are not permitted in the park and the walking route from the entrance covers approximately 5 kilometers. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and expect open, windy conditions along the spit.

The beacon runs on solar power and produces a red flash every ten seconds through a Lexan lens to mark the Eastern Channel. This self-sufficient system allows it to operate without external power while reliably guiding vessels into the inner harbor.
