Its that time of the year folks. The Run off the Grid is happening September 28th.
We will need 5 operators (minimum) for the event.
Its an all day event, bring a lunch, chair and appropriate clothing, plus a plate/utensils for dinner.
Its too early to call the weather, but there will be an update prior to the event.
Please advise if you are able to help out by calling Paul, or via the
"will attend" button on the website.
Hope to hear from you!.

The triathlon event committee has reached out to us to request our assistance.
Bill VE3TGI indicated to them that any assistance we can provide will be communications related only.
Just a heads up to book the date in case they get back to us with more information.
Please indicate your interest by signing up on the website. Thanks in advance.

NBMCA is once again asking for our help with communications for the Canoe Race this year.
If you would like to volunteer, please sign up on the website. Further details as we get closer to the event date.

Having the race earlier in the year and the water levels being higher and colder, communication will be even more important.
PFD’s will be mandatory for all paddlers due to the time of year as well and NBMCA will have additional assistance
with several boats on the larger lakes.

Its Back! The 45th Annual Canoe Race.
It doesn't sound like there will be a banquet this year, so we will be finished early.
Let me know if you are planning to attend (or click on the attend button)
I'm guessing 5-6 people required (more would allow relief at checkpoints).
The info is here: http://www.mattawarivercanoerace.ca/

ROTG Saturday September 25, 2021
Hopefully most of the COVID restrictions have been lifted, but just in case they haven't,
we'll start with a request for 5 volunteers (same as last year).
Chris VA3CMX will not be available, so I'll be coordinating the volunteers, email me with any questions.

This will be a virtual event this year, so our attendance is not required. Stay Safe.

Run off the Grid is a go with a limit of 100 participants. This would have been the 10th year, but due to the registration limit, they are going to call it the 9.5 year anniversary.
They will have COVID-19 protocols in place, volunteers are asked to wear masks.
Race course will be in one direction this year, so the checkpoints will be less hectic.
Staggered start for the three races 45 minutes apart, with the shortest race (12.5k) leaving at 10:30.
No food for competitors at the checkpoints, only liquids in disposable cups.
