Upcoming

There are a few upcoming events that may be of interest to HRECT member groups.

South Halton ARES is holding a “Trailer Work Party” for their currently under renovation/construction communications trailer on Saturday, 08 August 2015 from 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Contact EC George Davis, VE3OGP, for further details.

The next GTA ARES meeting which will take place on Sunday, August 23rd at the Mississauga Red Cross office, 5700 Cancross Court, Mississauga. The meeting will be in the Ontario Zone training room. ARES DECs, ECs and AECs are requested to attend.

RAC’s 2015 Simulated Emergency Test will be held on Saturday, October 10th from 8 am til 1 pm. Halton Region’s Emergency Operations Centre may not be available to us that day due to possible renovation work. If necessary, SHARES has agreed to place a trailer containing a VHF/UHF/HF/Data station in the Region’s parking lot to simulate the EOC station. It is recommended that all HRECT ARES teams participate in the SET. The non-amateur radio HRECT groups are also welcome to participate. Standard HRECT response procedures should be followed for this event.

Tentatively, TBRC/Burlington ARES will be looking for assistance for the Feelin Groovy 5k race being held at Spencer Smith Park in Burlington on August 15th. If you can help, please contact Burlington EC Kevin Andrews, VA3KRA.
