[RAC-Bulletin] November-December 2018 eTCA is now available |

Welcome to the November-December 2018 issue of The Canadian Amateur.
 
The electronic TCA (eTCA) version of the November-December 2018 TCA is now available for viewing or download. The print version is now being delivered.
“This is the last issue of The Canadian Amateur magazine for 2018 and it is a good opportunity for us to reflect on RAC’s 25th anniversary. It has been an exciting year with a great Annual General Meeting in Red Deer, Alberta and many activities and events throughout the year to celebrate RAC’s first quarter century. In keeping with that theme this issue of TCA is a special issue which highlights Emergency Communications in Canada with articles describing various events throughout our first 25 years.”

[RAC-Bulletin] RAC Welcomes Directors for 2019

Each year, the terms of office of roughly half of our Directors end – four in even numbered years and three in odd numbered years.
We have now completed the nominations and election process for Directors in the Atlantic, Ontario North/East, Midwest, and British Columbia and Yukon Regions.
I am happy to announce that Dave Goodwin, VE9CB (Atlantic), Allan Boyd, VE3AJB (Ontario North/East) and Bj Madsen, VE5FX (Midwest) have been reelected as Directors for their Regions.
Keith Witney, VE7KW, has been elected Director for the British Columbia and Yukon Region and will take office on January 1, 2019.
Allan Munnik, VA7MP, the current Director will become Deputy Director BC and Yukon when Keith becomes the Director.
Many of you will be very familiar with Keith as he is a very active BC Amateur and is the co-recipient of the RAC Amateur of the Year Award for 2017.
Keith is based in the Vancouver area and Allan is now in the Okanagan so we will have a strong team in British Columbia and the Yukon.

[RAC-Bulletin] RAC is Monitoring Canada Post Service Interruptions – TCA

Radio Amateurs of Canada is continuing to monitor the service interruptions to mail delivery as a result of the Canada Post strike action.
 
As of October 26, Canada Post’s website states:
 
“Mail and parcels will not be delivered or picked up in the impacted area while the union continues their strike activity. Canada Post is attempting to minimize the impact on customers. As employees return to work in areas impacted by the strike, we are working to restore service and eliminate any mail and parcel backlogs.”
 
The service interruption may impact the delivery of the November-December 2018 issue of The Canadian Amateur magazine and other mailings to RAC members depending on how long the strike action continues.
 
Please stay tuned to the RAC website for additional updates.
