** For immediate release:
------------------------------------------------------------
As part of the transition to the new Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS
) program, RAC Community Officer (CSO), Jason Tremblay, VE3JXT, ha
s been following a video series (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d3L_OkMW
mgDaZVkFxrUXuXYNJ21q3MOh/view) presented by the Radio Amateur Training Pl
anning and Activities Committee (https://sites.google.com/view/ratpac) (R
ATPAC) on Thursday evenings.
This series of weekly disaster communications presentations provided via t
he Zoom videoconferencing platform is called “Emergency Management
s Expectations of Amateur Radio” and focuses on governmen
t, non-government agencies and organizations served by Amateur Radio in
one way or another during a disaster. Although the presentations are curr
ently based in America, they cover many similar issues and concerns foun
d here in Canada.
The role of the Auxiliary Communications Service in Canada will also be to
supplement, or augment communications for local, provincial or nation
al emergency management groups and non-government organizations when requi
red.
On Thursday, October 7, Jason will be joining a group of presenters in
the RATPAC series to offer a look at the differences in emergency managem
ent in Canada and the United States, and to discuss why Radio Amateurs o
f Canada is developing an Auxiliary Communications program. For more infor
mation about the presentation and the video series please visit:

Although not affiliated with the American Radio Relay League, RATPAC is
made up of ARRL Section Managers, appointed ARRL field leaders, and o
ther members of the Amateur Radio community.
It hosts Zoom presentations twice weekly for Amateur Radio operators world
wide: Wednesdays on general radio topics; and Thursdays on Amateur Radio e
mergency communications. The presentation audience participates directly i
n the Zoom sessions and/or indirectly with video links and related documen
tation sent out after each session.
RAC will also be hosting a coast to coast Zoom session in January 2022 to
cover the new direction in detail. Stay tuned to the RAC website and the
pages of The Canadian Amateur magazine for more information.
