Photo by Postmedia files /jpg, WD Sun Times Article President's Message To All Members of GBARC: Recently I was contacted by John, VE3JHD, First Chairperson of the Hamilton Amateur Radio Club, to help recruit HAM Radio, volunteers for a Military Training Exercise called Trillium Venture. The event, conducted by the 31st Canadian Brigade Group, and will take place on May 3, 4, 5, 2024, in Huron and Bruce Counties.  I was advised that this exercise will involve amateur radio operators in some capacity. I am attaching an article from the recent Owen Sound Sun Times https://www.owensoundsuntimes.com/news/local-news/military-training-exercise-coming-to-bruce-county-on-may-3-5   The article provides more information about the scale and scope of the exercise this large multi-county exercise. I have been in contact with the commander of the unit and asked specifically where HAM operators would be deployed and what function we'll serve. I also asked how many operators would be needed. My email was forwarded to someone in the unit who will be "tracking down" that information for me. Once I know more I will share with others. I encourage member of GBARC to consider stepping forward as a volunteer to help with this very large exercise, if asked by the organizers to do so. This is a practical real world demonstration of what emergency communications would look like and so excellent practice. This is a good opportunity to test your gear and yourself, and to be ambassadors for amateur radio.
