Thousands of Seafarers arrive in Canadian ports every year.

They are often exhausted, isolated, and far from home.

Mission to Seafarers Canada is there to meet them with connection, compassion, and care

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the dedication of our volunteers and chaplains.
