    Ongoing: Knitting

    Each year we give away approximately 1500 Christmas parcels to seafarers docking in the Port of Montreal.

    Do you like to knit? All year long we accept your donations of warm clothes (i.e. tuques, scarves, gloves and socks) to add to our parcels. A warm seafarer is a happy seafarer!

“It is cheeks still sore from smiling and laughing at the Challenger Games night that we decided to hold a collection on board which may go some way in supporting the excellent work you are doing.”
