Seafarers Guide to Thunder Bay: 
information for seafarers visiting the Port

Ship Safety Bulletin No. 06/2022 
Updated guidelines respecting the mobility of asymptomatic, presumed non-COVID-19 carrying seafarers in the marine sector during the COVID-19 pandemic

St. Nicholas’ Day, on December 6, is also the anniversary of the founding to the Mission to Seafarers in Thunder Bay in 1961, which means it is our 60^th anniversary.

Ukraine
The situation in Ukraine touches us deeply. As Thunder Bay has a significant Ukrainian population, many of us have Ukrainian background and have friends and family of Ukrainian background. Those who work in the port are touched by Ukrainian and Russian seafarers. We need to keep the people of Ukraine in our prayers.

If you wish to make a financial contribution to assist refugees from Ukraine, go to CanadaHelps.org. On its home page, a number of charities are listed that are providing assistance to refugees.

The Anglican outreach, Primates World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) is supporting refugees through the ACT Alliance, which is funding the work of the Hungarian Interchurch Aid (HIA). They have set up a refugee reception centre in Hungary beside the Ukrainian border. Visit PWRDF.org to donate.
