The Mission to Seafarers - Southern Ontario

The Mission to Seafarers provides spiritual care, practical support, and social services to seafarers and maritime workers in Southern Ontario. Based in Pickering, the organization serves sailors, fishers, and others working on the Great Lakes and surrounding waters through chaplaincy visits, crisis assistance, emergency financial aid, and recreational programs. The charity addresses the isolation and hardship that maritime workers often face, offering counseling, welfare checks, and connections to medical services. With a focus on both immediate needs and long-term wellbeing, the Mission to Seafarers operates in port communities throughout the Greater Toronto Area and beyond, recognizing that seafarers often have limited access to family support and community resources while working on the water.
