International #DayoftheSeafarer holds special meaning this year, as mariners work tirelessly to keep trade flowing through the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to travel restrictions, thousands have been stuck at sea for months waiting to change crews and they need our support.
To show our gratitude for their efforts, we've come up with a safe way for crew on the ships at anchor in Prince Rupert Harbour to take a well-earned rest on shore, while obeying Transport Canada rules and maintaining isolation. Find out more about our shore break program at link in bio
