A reception at the National Assembly of Quebec capped off the day, where Deputy Premier and Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Geneviève Guilbault addressed the group reiterating the importance of Marine and working together to ensure the environmental, economic, and social prosperity of the Great Lakes region. Merci à la SODES pour l'organisation et au gouvernement du Québec pour son soutien à cette journée importante!

Yesterday, as a member of the Ontario Marine Council (OMC), Algoma had the privilege to participate and attend their luncheon where Premier Doug Ford was presented with the inaugural "Ontario Marine Champion" award, which recognizes outstanding leadership and commitment to advancing marine shipping in Ontario.    As the largest marine carrier on the Great Lakes and a proud Ontario-based business for 125 years, we thank Premier Ford and Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria for their work on advancing the first-ever Ontario Marine Transportation Strategy and for their support and leadership in ensuring the marine sector in Ontario remains strong, competitive, and sustainable. Marine shipping plays a critical role in supporting Ontario’s economic growth, helping to build, fuel, and feed our province while remaining the greenest mode of transportation. The Ontario Marine Transportation Strategy is a symbol of progress and we look forward to continuing to work together with the Province of Ontario to further strengthen this sector.

Meet Megan, the Algoterra's 2nd Mate! Megan took a leap into the maritime industry later in life, transitioning from a small Saskatchewan farm 🌾 to life on the water. "The maritime industry has brought me so many opportunities and the freedom I never could’ve had in a traditional career. Skilled crew are in high demand, and there are many opportunities for career advancement. It gives me the opportunity to travel and visit friends and family." 🌊 Since joining Algoma in 2017 as a navigation cadet, Megan has completed both her Watchkeeping Mate and Chief Mate certificates. Now, she’s focused on earning her Master certificate. Studying while working rotations can be tough, but for Megan, it’s always worth it. "Attitude is really key. As you build your knowledge, you’ll have bad days, but you’ll grow as you develop your skills. Stay focused, stay positive, and you will achieve it." 💪 Sailing has also given Megan the opportunity to 🌍 travel, including a trip to Portugal for the Algoterra's drydock. "It’s a great learning experience to see the vessel out of the water for key maintenance and inspections—offering a unique perspective you don’t get anywhere else." Megan took the leap - now it's your chance to #sailwiththebear 🐻 Apply today at algonet.com/careers
