EcoMaris connects humans to the global ocean – to which the St. Lawrence is a gateway. Our programs use the sea as a learning tool to reveal participants’ motivations, strengths and support networks, as well as the importance of conservation. EcoMaris helps create an active, committed and united generation who understands that everything is connected to the great climate regulator that is the ocean: health, the economy and our very survival.

Participants in our inclusive programs learn about self-awareness, creativity, autonomy, responsibility, teamwork, basic navigation skills, career options in the maritime field, marine ecosystems and the importance of ocean conservation. These skills are often linked to professional and personal success, and it is through direct action that they are best acquired.

Our pedagogical approach broadens horizons as it reveals the strength in each participant. It calls upon the physical, intellectual, emotional and social dimensions of the being. Participants learn to adapt, innovate, make decisions and overcome challenges. Our initiatives often lead participants back to school or the job market. They also encourage community involvement.

All of our programs and projects are carried out in a spirit of collaboration with the communities, organizations, businesses, foundations and entities that support us.

Nos programmes font appel à l’Océan comme outil révélateur de nos désirs, de nos forces, de notre communauté et de l’importance de la conservation. Nous contribuons ainsi à former une génération active, solidaire et engagée qui reconnaît que tout est lié à ce grand régulateur de climat – de notre santé à notre économie, en passant par notre survie sur terre.

Les participant.e.s à nos programmes inclusifs apprennent la connaissance de soi, la créativité, l’autonomie, la responsabilité, le travail d’équipe, les bases de la navigation, les métiers de la mer, les écosystèmes et leur préservation. Ces « compétences humaines » sont directement liées à la réussite professionnelle et personnelle. Et c’est par l’expérience concrète qu’elles s’acquièrent le mieux.

Notre pédagogie de terrain élargit les horizons et révèle les forces de chacun.e. Elle fait appel aux dimensions physique,  intellectuelle, émotionnelle et sociale. Mis en situation, les participant.e.s apprennent à s’adapter, à prendre des décisions, à innover et à surmonter les défis.

Fair Jeanne spent the summer of 1981 on the Ottawa River doing sea trials and being rigged. She had her first full sail that Thanksgiving – She was commissioned the following June- and began her Odyssey – She not only made it to the Greek Islands but returned again sailing over 100,000 Nautical miles during the next 12 years that Dad and Mum sailed her until Dad’s death in May 1994. It was Mum’s desire to see Fair Jeanne join her sister ship, affording the youth who sail with Bytown Brigantine the confidence to follow their dreams.

The Lettie G. Howard, a Fredonia-model fishing schooner built in 1893 in Essex, Massachusetts, is the last surviving Georges Bank fishing schooner and a National Historic Landmark. Originally based in Gloucester, she later transported catches to New York City before being sold in 1901 for fishing off Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Completely rebuilt in 1923 and fitted with an auxiliary engine, she remained in the Gulf of Mexico until 1968, when the South Street Seaport Museum acquired her. Restored to her original appearance in the early 1990s, she now serves as a sailing education vessel, most recently partnering with the Flagship Niagara League for programs in the Great Lakes.

The schooner Liberty Clipper was built in 1983 at the Blount Shipyard in Rhode Island.  With a steel hull, she is a modern replica of a Baltimore Clipper style schooner, which were widely used during the 18th and 19th centuries.  Known to be some of the fastest sailing vessels of their day, many Baltimore Clipper schooners were used as Privateers during the War for Independence and the War of 1812, and were also utilized in many large ports as pilot ships to guide visiting vessels into the harbor.  For the past two decades she has been providing guests the opportunity to experience a traditional sailing vessel in Boston Harbor.

Playfair is a member of Tall ShipsCAN, the national association for tall ships. Canadian sail training vessels such as Playfair provide unparalleled opportunities for youth personal growth and development.  

Brigs began in 1962 as Toronto Brigantine, a charitable organization. Our founding tenets were the development of leadership, discipline, and citizenship in a maritime environment. The men and women who founded Toronto Brigantine believed that exposure to the challenge of the sea-going lifestyle could benefit young people.

Our original vessel, Pathfinder, was commissioned in 1964 and Playfair joined the organization in 1973. From the beginning, ‘building character through adventure’ has been the primary objective of Brigs.

Since Brigs began, thousands of young people have participated in our character building programs. By working together, sailing, and managing our square-rigged ships, these young people have discovered important lessons about life. More importantly, they’ve discovered themselves. They have learned how satisfying and fun it is to contribute. Our purpose is the provision of an environment, aboard ship and in the Winter Program that fosters and rewards self-confidence, teamwork, responsibility, custodianship and leadership in youth.

...

Brigs a vu le jour en 1962 sous le nom de Toronto Brigantine, un organisme de bienfaisance. Nos principes fondateurs étaient le développement du leadership, de la discipline et de la citoyenneté dans un environnement maritime. Les hommes et les femmes qui ont fondé le Brigantine de Toronto croyaient que l’exposition au défi du mode de vie marin pourrait être bénéfique pour les jeunes.

Notre navire d’origine, le Pathfinder, a été mis en service en 1964 et Playfair s’est joint à l’organisation en 1973. Depuis le début, « construire le caractère par l’aventure » a été l’objectif principal de Brigs.

Depuis le début de Brigs, des milliers de jeunes ont participé à nos programmes de formation du caractère. En travaillant ensemble, en naviguant et en gérant nos navires à gréement carré, ces jeunes ont découvert d’importantes leçons de vie. Plus important encore, ils se sont découverts eux-mêmes. Ils ont appris à quel point il est satisfaisant et amusant de contribuer. Notre objectif est de fournir un environnement, à bord du navire et dans le cadre du programme d’hiver, qui favorise et récompense la confiance en soi, le travail d’équipe, la responsabilité, la garde et le leadership chez les jeunes.

Pride of Baltimore II was commissioned in 1988 as a sailing memorial to her immediate predecessor, the original Pride of Baltimore, which was tragically sunk by a white squall off Puerto Rico in 1986, taking her captain and three crew members down with her. Both ships were built in the Inner Harbor as reproductions of 1812-era topsail schooners, the type of vessels, called Baltimore Clippers, that helped America win the War of 1812 and finally secure its freedom. Since her commissioning, Pride II has sailed nearly 200,000 miles, and visited over 200 ports in 40 countries in North, South, and Central America, Europe, and Asia.

With her storied past, productive present, and bright future, When And If has a narrative all her own. She was commissioned by General George S Patton from the illustrious naval architect John Alden, and built by FF Pendleton of Wiscasset, ME to sail around the world “When the war is over, and if I live through it.”

Her sturdy construction of double planked mahogany over black locust frames and an oak keel made her heavier than Alden’s signature racing schooners, more suited to her transoceanic cruising agenda. She was launched in November of 1938 and in 1939 Patton took delivery of her to Massachusetts where the Patton and Ayer families lived. Shortly thereafter, Patton was deployed in Europe. He returned on leave at least once to sail the boat in his home waters of the North Shore of Massachusetts with his family. Many boats during World War Two, particularly wooden vessels, were requisitioned as sub hunters for the United States Navy though When And If seems to have escaped this fate and saw out the war in safety. Patton was killed in a car accident in Germany in 1945, shortly after the armistice, and his vision to sail around the world on the boat remains unfulfilled to this day.
