What is the history of the Halton Lighthouse?
The Salvation Army had been operating the Lighthouse in temporary locations in Oakville for more than seven years. In the past the facilities have been located in residential communities in Oakville. The Lighthouse first opened on Trafalgar Road in the fall of 1999. This location was the former Grace House, a mental health facility. It operated there for nine months, until it moved, as a result of a previous development commitment for the property. The Lighthouse then moved to a residential area between Kerr Street and Sixteen Mile Creek in 2000 and operated in two locations in conventional detached homes. One still continues to operate in this area. In 2002, the Lighthouse moved to the Old Chamber of Commerce building located at 170 Country Squire Lane in Oakville. Here, the Lighthouse continued to operate until the new facility located at 750 Redwood Square was completed on January 25, 2005.
