The members of the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Preservation Society are known as KOPPLA - The "Keepers of Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse Association". These members are individuals from the Brighton area and abroad who are interested in maintaining the Presqu’ile Point Lighthouse as a powerful symbol of local legacy.

KOPPLA will undertake a campaign of public awareness to educate the community about the perilous condition of the lighthouse and to explain the value of the lighthouse as both a heritage site and a tourism resource. Interest in the preservation of the lighthouse is high around Brighton and abroad.

KOPPLA will partner with all organizations and individuals who wish to help. This will be a community effort!

Keepers Crest

The Keepers crest was worn by the lighthouse keepers on their lapel.

• The large K stands for "Keepers",
• The white in the K represents the white colour of the lighthouse,
• The dark blue bottom of the crest represents the water,
• The light blue top the sky,
• The red outline of the crest represents the red at the top of the lighthouse,
• And the yellow represents the light shining from the lighthouse. Our use of the crest and name KOPPLA, Keepers of Presqu'ile Point Lighthouse Association, reminds us of the "Keepers" responsibility to keep the lighthouse.
