A truly magnificent testament to the Endurance of our provinces lighthouses and their keepers!

Barry Porter - Author recently spoke with CBC's Cameron Kilfoy about his recent adventure hosting Australian filmmaker Mikaela Zuiderduyn, as part of the competition Race Around the World. Barry showed Mikaela around the area where he spent many years manning lighthouses for the Canadian Coast Guard. Mikaela created a fantastic short featuring Barry reading a poem, set to a visual motif of the landscape.
