ONTARIO SECTION NEWS

1.  RAC Auxiliary Communicator Course

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, 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.

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 and government Emergency Management services.

The goal of this 20-hour course is to provide instruction to Auxiliary Communications volunteers so that their individual and organizational efforts/expertise are appropriately integrated into the public safety/service communications support environment.

Auxiliary Communicators provide alternate communications by supporting communications with other organizations:
