Spring Clean-Up

Spring Clean-up is a time to bring people together to prepare Porphyry and Trowbridge Island Lightstations for the season. Its lots of fun and includes a BBQ at the end for the Porphyry experience.

The clean up brings together friends, family, hikers & boaters for a day of preserving and protecting lighthouse history. 

Thanks to our 2023 volunteers this was the dress code with Columbia T-shirts and Hats thanks to TransCanada Trails.

Departing from Silver Islet, volunteers travel in the morning aboard Archie’s Charters. Volunteers will be presented with some tasks to complete after a safety orientation. Work can include clearing brush, stacking firewood, cleaning buildings or painting. There’s some time of your own to explore the island followed by some refreshments.
