Can't say I share your enthusiasm Rick. DFO/CCG has reduced budgets &
staff over the years resulting in problems like this. Likely all
departments have. Yes when you get public outcry, some politician
decides to appease them to score points. It doesn't address the
underlying problem of not having the resources to maintain the
existing structures properly. Will they paint Chebucto Head next? I
hasn't been painted in 5 -6 years, is covered in graffiti. What about
Devil's Island? The building isn't safe to go in, let alone needing
new siding and a paint job.

We need a government that cares.  A "Beneficial Dictatorship" comes to mind.

These tourist attraction sites should be turned over to the province
or private enterprise to run and maintain. But when the government
tries , the community balks due to the high maintenance cost. The
government trys to replace them with a lower maintenance cost
installation, then the community complains about that. The government
is in a no win situation really.

Tourism is a big part of the provinces revenue - you'd think something like 
this would be one of the first things on their list.
