Toronto Harbour Light

The concrete and steel octagonal structure reaches 12 meters in height, featuring white lower markings and a reddish-orange upper section at Vicki Keith Point.

The Toronto Harbour Commission built this lighthouse in 1974 to guide maritime traffic after creating a peninsula using materials from harbor dredging in 1959.

The lighthouse stands at Tommy Thompson Park, named after Toronto's former Parks Commissioner, where residents engage in outdoor activities throughout the year.

Visitors need to walk or cycle 4.8 kilometers from the park entrance to reach the lighthouse, as private vehicles are not permitted within the grounds.

The solar-powered beacon produces a red flash every ten seconds through a Lexan circular lens, directing ships along the Eastern Channel into Toronto Inner Harbour.
