Radio Amateurs of Canada, in partnership with the City of Sudbury, is excited to introduce a new Auxiliary Communications (Aux-Comm) Training Program, designed to enhance our communication capabilities during emergencies.
As a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Radio Amateurs of Canada understands the importance of effective coordination and communication during crises. The training is based on the All-Hazards Risk Assessment methodology, ensuring we can effectively mitigate communication failures and collaborate with other organizations during a disaster.
Target Audience:

The course is designed for experienced Amateur Radio volunteers who provide communication support during planned events and incidents, as well as communication personnel from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and government Emergency Management services.
Date | Time | Location:
The course will held on Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8 from 9 am to 5 pm each day in Sudbury, Ontario at:
Lionel E Lalonde Centre239 Montee PrincipaleSudbury (Azilda), OntarioP0M 1B0

Goal:
The Aux-Comm Training Program aims to improve interoperability among Non-Governmental Organizations and Emergency Management workforces, ultimately contributing to a more efficient and effective disaster response.
