TRAINEE RESOURCES

Trainee Resources is meant to be a place for our trainees to gain information prior to, during and after their voyages. This section also provides information to people who are thinking about coming aboard but want more detailed information such as information about our Log Book, a sample packing list, information about the Duke of Edinburgh Award, as well as tips on completing Transport Canada certifications.
