February 26, 2025
The Canadian Marine Careers Foundation is pleased to welcome PortsToronto as its newest member, joining a collaborative effort to address marine labour and skills shortages. PortsToronto’s involvement will help amplify awareness of the diverse career opportunities on the water and ashore within Canada’s marine sector and support the development of innovative strategies to build a skilled and inclusive workforce.

"PortsToronto is proud to join the Canadian Marine Careers Foundation. We are looking forward to connecting with fellow industry leaders and helping to shape the future of Canada's maritime sector. Together, we will empower the next generation of marine professionals and drive the growth of a thriving, dynamic industry." — Captain Satinder Singh, Vice President, Marine, PortsToronto.

"Ports are where much of the marine sector comes together, from arriving and departing domestic and international ships to the movement of cargoes to the transiting of passengers. There are so many rewarding marine careers that are essential to the safe and efficient operation of our ports,” says Julia Fields, Executive Director of the CMCF. "We're delighted to have PortsToronto support our efforts to champion these careers and create accessible pathways that will help secure Canada’s marine workforce, and ultimately the resilience of our supply chains."
