New Brunswick Minister of Justice Invites Amateurs to Legislature

 

Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) has been made aware that an important announcement will be made at the Gallery of the Legislature (706 Queen St, Fredericton, NB) at 1:00PM on Tuesday 18th of March.

RAC was apprised in advance by Troy Lifford, Minister of Justice and MLA for Fredericton-Nashwaaksis that this will be news of high interest for hams and that all amateur radio operators in the area are invited to attend the session.

“We are hopeful New Brunswick will recognize the value of amateur radio operators to our province by eliminating the ban on mobile radio operations. The lifting of the ban will enhance public safety and bring New Brunswick in line with the rest of Canada.” stated Len Morgan VE9MY Deputy Director for the Atlantic Region.

There has been a concerted effort by RAC, local amateur radio clubs and amateur radio operators in New Brunswick, to have the ban on mobile radio operations lifted.
