Lighthouses of Canada: Northern New Brunswick

The nation of Canada was created by the British North America Act in 1867 with New Brunswick as one of the four original provinces. The area had been part of New France, the French empire in North America, which fell to Britain during the Seven Years War (1756-63). After the war New Brunswick was part of Nova Scotia until separated from that colony in 1784.

New Brunswick has two coastlines. The northern coast faces northeast on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Northumberland Strait while the southern coast faces southeast on the Bay of Fundy. The two coasts are separated by the narrow Isthmus of Chignecto that joins New Brunswick to Nova Scotia. This page describes the lighthouses of the northern coast and there is a separate page for Southern New Brunswick.

New Brunswick once had well over 100 lighthouses but modern deactivations have left it with fewer than 50 working towers. A number of the decommissioned lights survive, some of them relocated to new homes. One, the Woody Point Light, was relocated to Nova Scotia. Sadly, the province's lighthouse preservation society has disbanded. Local preservation efforts are strong in many communities but there are a number of lighthouses much in need of restoration.

New Brunswick is divided into 15 counties. Although the counties lost their governmental functions in 1966 they continue to define local communities.

New Brunswick is officially bilingual and about one third of its residents are French speakers. French is spoken commonly in the north of the province.

Aids to navigation in Canada are maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard. In 2008 Parliament passed the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act to designate and protect historic lighthouses.

ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. CCG numbers are from the Atlantic Coast volume of the List of Lights, Buoys, and Fog Signals of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Admiralty numbers are from Volume H of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA numbers are from Publication 110.

Campbellton Range Rear (4)
1985 (station established 1879). Inactive since 2013. 15.5 m (51 ft) octagonal wood tower with lantern and gallery (1985) surrounding a square steel skeletal tower (1978), attached to a 1-1/2 story wood building. Lighthouse painted white with red trim and a red vertical stripe on the range line; attached building also painted white with red trim. Claude Marchand's photo is above, a 2022 photo is available, John MacKenzie has a 2021 photo, Bash has a photo, Wikimedia has Dennis Jarvis's photo, Marinas.com has aerial photos, and Google has a street view and a satellite view. This is an interesting example of converting a lighthouse to a new use: the existing skeletal tower was incorporated into the new lighthouse. The building was used as a youth hostel for three decades but the hostel closed sometime in 2016-17. We need information on its current use, if any. Located on the Restigouche River on Campbellton's waterfront near the Van Horn bridge linking New Brunswick and Quebec. Site open, parking available, tower closed. Owner/site manager: Ville de Campbellton. ARLHS CAN-070; ex-CCG A-1352; ex-Admiralty H1632.1; ex-NGA 7132.

Charles Stewart purchased the lighthouse in 2002 and relocated it in three sections from Belledune Point to his property in Seaside, about 25 km (15 mi) northwest on Chaleur Bay. His plans then were to reassemble and relight the tower. However, in 2009 Kelly Anne Loughery found two of the three sections in the woods and reported that "it looks like what's left of the lighthouse is just going to rot where it sits." Trees hide the sections in Google's satellite view of the area. Located off McNeil Road east of New Mills. Site closed. Owner/site manager: private. ARLHS CAN-705.

This historic lighthouse was built by the Colony of New Brunswick prior to the confederation of 1867 that created the Dominion of Canada. The lighthouse was extended in height by 1.8 m (6 ft) in 1903. The station was recognized as a national historic site in 1974. The site was improved in 2000; a nature trail and visitor facilities were added and the approach road and parking areas were paved. In June 2001 the tower was closed to visitors due to mercury contamination. During 2003 there were several efforts to clean up the problem but they failed to reduce the mercury concentration to a safe level. The mercury was finally cleaned up in 2008. In 2009 the provincial government built new visitor facilities including an expanded parking lot. The lighthouse reopened for the season in 2010. In 2017 the province provided $250,000 to replace the siding and make other improvements to the lighthouse. Miscou Island represents the northeastern corner of New Brunswick; it is accessible by a bridge on NB 113 completed in 1996. Located at the end of NB 113 on Birch Point at the northern end of Miscou Island, guarding the entrance to Chaleur Bay. Site open, tower open daily mid June through mid September.

A photo is at right, Bry Simms has a 2021 photo, Mladen Gogić has a 2019 photo, Marinas.com has aerial photos, and Google has a satellite view. This historic lighthouse was deactivated in 1997 when the Confederation Bridge was completed to link New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island. After being abandoned by the Coast Guard the lighthouse began to deteriorate. The nearby Cape Jourimain Nature Centre launched a drive for funds needed to repair and repaint the tower and began negotiating with Fisheries and Oceans to obtain ownership. The transfer of ownership finally took place in 2015, after the lighthouse was recognized as a Heritage Lighthouse. The lighthouse was threatened by erosion, so in August 2016 Mervil Rushton Building Movers relocated the tower 60 m (200 ft) back from the cliff. The lighthouse was restored in 2017-18 and in July 2019 it opened to the public for the first time. The Centre also has historical exhibits and visitor facilities. Located at the last exit in New Brunswick before the bridge. Accessible by a 1.8 km (1.1 mi) trail (entry fee); in season a jitney provides transportation from the museum to the lighthouse.

In poor shape recently the lighthouse was heavily damaged by Hurrican Fiona in late September 2022 and is now out of service and gravely endangered: Ruth Patterson's 2023 photo shows the lighthouse severely deteriorated. The range was discontinued when the Confederation Bridge was opened in 1997, but the front light was reactivated the following year at the request of local fishermen. In 2004 a peatmoss company leased the wharf and fenced it so that there was no longer public access to the lighthouse; it's reported that access has been restored more recently. The Cape Tormentine Community Development Corporation is seeking ownership of the lighthouse and has a web page for it.
