SOS Humanity’s Post

The International Maritime Organization designates today as #WorldMaritimeDay2024, a key occasion to celebrate the marine sector and its critical contributions to Canada's history and economy. This year’s theme, “Navigating the future: safety first” highlights an industry-wide commitment to enhancing maritime safety and security. This theme resonates with us at the Canadian Coast Guard/Garde côtière canadienne, reflecting our own motto: “Safety First, Service Always.” Equally, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), the principal international treaty concerning the safety of merchant ships.

No matter what, there’s work to be done. Through the high fives, the celebrations, and the laughter of relief, there’s work to be done. Through the confusion, the despair, and the deep frustration, there’s work to be done. Empathy, unity, conversation, and support—there’s work to be done. Peace, security, flourishing communities—there’s work to be done. There will be devastating setbacks, challenging truths, and awe-inspiring successes. We are here for the work. And there’s still work to be done.

Remembering 9/11: A Day of Reflection, Unity, and Resilience Today marks the anniversary of September 11, 2001, a day that forever changed the course of history. We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the brave first responders who rushed toward danger, and the countless families forever affected by this tragedy. As someone who has spent years in public safety, I have seen firsthand the courage and dedication it takes to protect and serve others. On this day, I honor the heroes who showed the world the true meaning of sacrifice and bravery. 9/11 is a reminder of our shared humanity, the strength of our communities, and the resilience of our nation. We must never forget the lessons of that day: unity, compassion, and the importance of standing together in the face of adversity. Let us take a moment to reflect, to remember, and to continue working toward a future defined by hope, respect, and resilience. #NeverForget #911Anniversary #PublicSafety #Unity #Resilience

After serving as Chief Development Officer for 8 years and as Interim CEO for the past 2.5 months, I’m honored to now serve as the President and CEO of Springs Rescue Mission. From a young age, I went to church often - still do. At times back then, it felt complicated (sometimes it still does)—until I read the words of Jesus. The paraphrase I hold onto is simple: Love God and Love Others. It’s easy to say, but it takes a lifetime to live out. I fumble with it every day, but it’s the work I’m committed to—the work we’re all called to. At Springs Rescue Mission, I see this truth in action daily: neighbors helping neighbors, people LovingBigger. Some on SRM's campus carry heavy burdens and few possessions, while others in the community carry different burdens with much. The struggles may look different, but the humanity and the desire for meaningful purpose is the same. I want to be clear: If you're like-minded, this mission is your mission. It needs you. That’s so evident in the team members who’ve served at SRM, past and present: your efforts inspire me and have built the foundation we stand on today. To the community and partners who champion this work: you lift me up daily. Together, you’ve made the impossible possible. I will do my best to honor your contributions, build upon this legacy, and keep our eyes fixed on what is good, true, and transformative. Let’s do this, together. It’s Your Mission. #MissionDriven #Leadership #TransformingLives

We’re working with northern communities to build Indigenous Search and Rescue capacity in Arctic waters!   Through the Indigenous SAR training program, nine members of our Auxiliary from Nunavik and Nunatsiavut recently completed the Arctic marine search and rescue training course in Parry Sound, Ontario.   These long-term partnerships and collaborative courses with community volunteers help us learn from each other and play an important role in safeguarding our communities and Arctic waters. ❄️
