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!

Pumpkin Carving
What the seafarers said: “We are Filipino. We’ve carved many things. But we’ve never carved a pumpkin!”
-
Rest & Relaxation
One seafarer said, “I’ve never had a chair massage. I was so relaxed I fell asleep. Can I hug the therapist?”
-
Games Night
Afterwards, one seafarer wrote, “Thanks to mission and a people of the mission, by not just sending postcards via internet, but by doing such wonderful events!!!”
“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.”
