Happy First Day of Spring!! The arrival of Spring and the promise of warmer days, turns our thoughts to re-rig and Spring maintenance, as we prepare Playfair for her summer of sailing on our Great Lakes (Covid permitting!) Brigs has compiled a wish list of items that would certainly come in handy in the upcoming season, such as deck, galley and building supplies, tools and cleaning products.

The Premier was in Hamilton today for a major announcement with Heddle Shipyards. The Ontario Government is congratulating Heddle Shipyards on their new long-term agreement with Vancouver based Seaspan, to fabricate Ontario-made components under the National Shipyard Strategy. "This historic partnership with Seaspan will create highly skilled, well-paying jobs in communities across the province, contribute to the construction of quality Ontario-made components for these ships and reinforce Hamilton's status as a critical transportation hub in the province." Premier Doug Ford. http://www.netnewsledger.com//heddle-shipyard-contract-wi/

We are proud to announce Hannah MacLeod as the winner of the 2020 NOAC Deep Sea Award! This year the competition was opened up to officers from both our program and @tallshipexpeditions program, resulting in some serious competition. Congratulations to Hannah for representing great Leadership, Seamanship and commitment to the ship and program. Hannah brought professionalism and pride in her work to her duties onboard the TS Playfair. She strived to lead by example and make ev...eryone feel welcome and comfortable which showed in her interactions with trainees and officers alike. We wish her all the best for the future and hope to see her sailing again soon! We would also like to say thanks again to the Naval Association of Canada for providing this award to our officers. #brigs2020 #brigstsplayfair #youthsailtraining #greatlakes #learntosail #tallships #sailthissummer #brigskids #sailingcamp #camp #brigantine #hamont #hopaports See more
