Join Parks Canada interpreters at the oldest permanent lighthouse on the west coast of Canada! Fisgard Lighthouse lights the way into Esquimalt Harbour and looks out over the Juan de Fuca Strait, a busy highway for ships to navigate on their way to Victoria. This area is also home to the lighthouse keepers and their families, and Joy the Orca, along with the rest of the Southern Resident Killer Whales. While the families of Fisgard lived ashore in the lighthouse, Joy and her family continue to call the waters of the Juan de Fuca Strait home. Join us in learning about the challenges and strengths that these local residents face!
