The octagonal wooden tower is maintained by theCanadian Coast Guard who employlighthouse keepers at the station. In Summer of 2024, it was announced that Pachena Point Light (along with nearby Carmanah Point Light) would be destaffed before the end of the year.[2] On October 26 of the same year, the lightkeepers departed the station, leaving it unstaffed.[3] This change was not well received and was met with heavy criticism.[4]
