Mission to Seafarers Canada Inc.

Mission to Seafarers Canada provides practical support and pastoral care to seafarers working on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway. The organization offers emergency financial assistance, emergency accommodation, food, counseling, and advocacy to merchant sailors who face hardship while far from home. Based in the Greater Toronto Area, Mission to Seafarers addresses the isolation and vulnerability that seafarers experience during their work, connecting them with essential services and human contact during medical emergencies, wage disputes, or personal crises. The charity recognizes that seafarers from around the world often lack local support networks and face language barriers, making direct assistance critical for their wellbeing. Through its direct interventions and partnerships with port communities, the organization serves one of Canada's most overlooked working populations.
