- **Event Description**: (Owen Sound, ON) --- Capt.

As part of the preparations for the annual service, ISMA members will gather the day before and decorate the church with marine flags in preparation for the event that is expected to see attendance from mariners throughout the Great Lakes.

"This event is free and open to the public,” said Capt. O'Donoughue. “We want to share this experience with everyone in and out of the maritime industry. This service, like so many others throughout Great Lakes ports, is part of a tradition that dates back to the 1800's. It is a tradition that is still carried out to this day. These many services remind us all of the challenges and the dangers faced by crews who work to transport goods that eventually become part of our everyday lives.”

Among the hundreds expected to attend are Georgian College deck and engineer cadets, mariners, families and friends from all parts of the maritime industry, captains, pilots, Navy, Coast Guard, tug fest crews, sailors, marine fire, historians, as well as yacht club &amp; recreational boaters.

There will be a reception afterwards with food and hospitality.  For more information email:  isma.lodge15@gmail.com
