Fun Fact Friday: The Newfoundland dockyard in Marystown has been a cornerstone of Canadian shipbuilding since 1966! From building offshore fishing vessels to supporting Arctic and naval operations, this shipyard has shaped Newfoundland’s maritime heritage, building over 50 vessels, from fishing boats to coast guard ships. At its peak, it could lift vessels up to 280 feet long with its massive Syncrolift – a true engineering marvel. Today, it continues to support marine industries while preserving a legacy of innovation and craftsmanship.

Throwback Thursday: Throwing it way back to 2003 📼💻
One of Genoa’s early boardrooms, where big ideas were born… and so were a lot of now-retired tech devices. How many can you spot? 👀 As we celebrate 30 years of Genoa, it’s fun to look back at how far our spaces (and our tech) have come, while the conversations around the table remain just as important.

Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and joyful holiday season.

As we wrap up another year, we took time to celebrate what really makes our work meaningful: our people. 🎉

From end-of-year parties and team dinners to our kids’ holiday celebration, it was a chance to connect, laugh, and reflect on a year of hard work and shared successes.

Thank you to everyone who helped make these moments special. Here’s to closing out the year together and heading into the next one recharged and ready for what’s ahead. ✨

We were honoured to take part in the Trees of Joy event with Make-A-Wish—a magical holiday tradition that brings wish kids’ dreams to life, one beautifully decorated tree at a time. Each year, we proudly sponsor a tree in honour and memory of Holly Tocknell, a cherished Genoa team member whose legacy continues to inspire us.

This year, we had the privilege of being paired with Niall, our incredible four-year-old Make-A-Wish kid. Diagnosed at just two years old with a rare disease that required a year of treatment, Niall faced it all with remarkable courage, a bright smile, and endless resilience. Today, he is healthy and thriving.

Events like Trees of Joy remind us what this season is truly about: hope, community, and creating moments that matter. We’re grateful to support Make-A-Wish and to celebrate the strength of wish kids and their families. Take a look at the video below for a glimpse of this special day shared with our team, Holly’s family, and Niall alongside his sister and parents.

Our team had an absolute blast yesterday morning serving breakfast to the hardworking healthcare heroes at St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital. A small way to say thank you for the incredible care they provide every day. 💙

We’re celebrating this fantastic group of participants from Genoa Design who recently completed Fundamentals of Project Management with us at Gardiner Centre. Their engagement, collaboration, and curiosity made for an energizing two days of learning.

We were especially thrilled to deliver this as part of our Custom Training offerings—tailored to support Genoa's ongoing commitment to developing strong, capable project teams.

Great work, everyone! 👏

We loved spending this time with you and look forward to supporting your growth again soon.

On this day: 8 years ago, it was a milestone moment for the entire Genoa team as our CEO, Gina Pecore, took part in the ceremonial champagne bottle breaking on the CCGS Sir John Franklin. This vessel marked the first of three Offshore Fisheries Science Vessels (OFSVs), and Genoa was proud to play a key role by delivering the 3D modelling and production design that brought it to life.

Here’s to the people, partnerships, and projects that shape our story — and the milestones still ahead. ⚓

On this day 25 years ago: As we wrap up this year’s WorkBoat show, we find ourselves reflecting on that very first visit. What started as a modest first trip has become a defining tradition for us. Over the decades, WorkBoat has become more than just a trade show; it’s been a hub for collaboration, innovation, relationships, and growth.

Curious to see how far we’ve come? Check out our reflections and milestones in this article: https://genoadesign.com/genoa-celebrates-22-years-of-success-at-workboat/ Here’s to the next 25 years: more builds, more innovation, and stronger ties across the marine industry.

Genoa has had 22 Years of success at the International Workboat show in New Orleans where we meet new and prospective shipbuilding customers.

🌍 Happy International Volunteer Day! 🌟

At Genoa, giving back isn’t something we do once in a while—it’s something we build into who we are.

Every first Friday of the month, a team of Genoa volunteers rolls up their sleeves and joins Home Again Furniture Bank for their Furniture Friday deliveries. Together, we help transport essential household furnishings to individuals and families.

From lifting couches to sharing smiles at the doorstep, every delivery is a reminder of the power of community and the impact a few helping hands can make.

On International Volunteer Day, we’re proud to celebrate our team members who continue to show up with generosity, compassion, and heart—not just today, but all year long. Thank you, Genoa volunteers, and thank you to Home Again for the incredible work you do across our community.
