At the Eastern extremity of Harry Kingston Point, in Ottawa, Ontario, is a lighthouse that warns sailors of the point and guides them to their mooring sites at the Nepean Sailing Club. The point serves to protect the boats from large waves coming from the Ottawa River. The light house is painted red and white.

Hi all,
I have attached a photo of the lighthouse at the end of the man-made
peninsula which protects the marina at the Nepean Sailing Club, Dick
Bell Park, Ottawa, Ontario. I didn't notice it on the list of
lighthouses on Lac Deschenes (Ottawa River). Since the Nepean Sailing
Club marina and park, as well as Andrew Hayden Park, were created with
landfill in the 1970s, the lighthouse likely dates from that period as
well. The Martin 16 sailboats, shown, are used by the National Capital
Able Sail Association at the Nepean Sailing Club.
