Tourism depends on weather
From page 2
Tourist operators that count
on "ice cream sales and t-
shirts'.' depend on the weather
and know that risk, Hughes
said. Those businesses had a
tough season, : ; but the cam-
paign to bring in the crowds
next season has already
begun.
Meanwhile Bruce County is
still promoting its Adventure
Passport .as a guide to low-
cost day trips and lesser-
known attractions.
That program has 13 stops
and a contest for significant
prizes, and runs until Dec. 5.
At last count 28,000 people
have used the Adventure
Passport to explore the Bruce
by car, motorcycle, and bicy-
cle and on foot. •
Stokes Bay lighthouse
Bruce county will airlift a
lighthouse to save it from
demolition by the federal gov-
ernment.
County councillors agreed
to pay up to $20,000 for a
helicopter to lift the light
tower at Stokes Bay on the
Bruce Peninsula.
The rescue mission will lift
the lighthouse off its founda-
tion and move it, just days
ahead of the federal govern-
ment's plan to demolish the
landmark.
The helicopter rescue mis-
sion is the only way to get the
105 -year-old landmark off its
location on environmentally
sensitive land in a provincial
park, said tourism manager
Chris Hughes.
"lt►is crazy and we've got a
bit of a reputation in our
department of doing things
untraditionally.. Saving the
lighthouse with a helicopter
probably ranks right up
there," Hughes said. "But I
think it just shows the com-
mitment of the county to pre-
serving our marine heritage."
Councillors were warned
earlier this year that the feder-
al . government is planning to
demolish the historic light
tower on Stokes Bay, and that
it would move quickly on that
project: Crews are on site and
work was expected to start
this week.
That. gave the tourism -
department little time to work
out details of removing, -stor-
ing,
stor-ing, and planning the restora-
tion of the 1904 landmark.
So far there's no decision on
where or when the Stokes Bay
lighthouse will be rebuilt, but
Hughes is confident that when
it happens the Stokes Bay
lighthouse will become a
major tourist attraction.
"People will be able to
touch it, climb it, hopefully
get a vista over Lake Huron
again in some location," he
said.
Hughes was clearly relieved
that county councillors were
quick to support the project,
even though many details
remain to be settled.
"We'll work can the plans to
obviously try and put it in a
place and rebuild the way that
it was on the shoreline to
make it historically accurate,"
he said. "The number one goal
at this point is Awe're just
breathing a sigh of relief that
we get it on the . ground and
into a safe location."
The air rescue is a last-
minute move to save a part of
the county's lighthouse and
marine heritage.
Bruce County. considers its
lighthouses to be important
cultural and tourism assets
that draw a significant number
of visitors almost year round.
