While not directly radio related the actions of these students should remind us all of the effects of a major earthquake, the need for planning, and the mess it will cause.

My congratulations to all involved in this project and a special thank you to the students who came to Canada to participate.  GREAT JOB ALL OF YOU

We have noted and had reports of a some typos or transcription errors
in the Industry Canada exam questions. It is not that unusual that a
few such errors can creep into the long document (more than 6000
questions and 24000 answers considering the English and French
versions of the two exam banks). Fortunately the new system IC has
developed makes it easy and quick to correct such errors.

RAC will assist in conveying the information.Anyone wishing to report
errors are invited to send these reports by email to RAC at
hq.communications@rac.ca
