Patrick 4 Life goes this Sunday, and we could use a few more volunteers (3 so far - I'd like 7 please).
The start and finish will be in Lee Park, Dave Saad would like the volunteers there for 07:15
(at least for the start/finish - announcement team).
As last year, he would like an announcement team to prompt the stage with the bib numbers about
30 seconds before they cross the finish line.
There will be the half marathon starting at 08:00, with a 3 hour time limit
then the 10k at 08:15, 5k at 08:30, and the 2k at 09:30.
We have been requested for communications this year at the Patrick4Life June 5th.
Starts from Lee Park this year. Approximately a half day 6-8 volunteers needed.
Sign up on the website.
Thanks
Paul, VA3PC

The Hospital Fun Walk / Run is tommorrow and we could use a few more vollunteers. We have the minimum of 4 but would like to double up some of the teams.
This event does involve walking into the trail site so keep that in mind and is run on portible radios.
If you would like to help out please let me know or sign up on the website.
We will be be meeting at the hospital about 08:30
Dress worm it is going to be a cool.... ok, cold one!
Just a quick note to follow up on a few items to remember for Run Off the Grid on Satuday.
Please bring a lunch for yourself. Race organizers are not providing a lunch this year. Due to logistics it has been hit or miss with lunches in the past and they have decided to save the logistical issues this year. As always there will be loads of snacks at the checkpoints.
We would love to see more volunteers since we are going to be operating with minimum radio crew for this event.
Signed up so far are:
VE3MAF, VA3PC, VE3TGI, John Higgins, VA3SPT, VA3CMX
If I missed someone who volunteered at the meeting or if you would like to add your name to this fun event please sign up on the website or contact me by email at my callsign at gmail dot com.
The 2015 Mattawa Canoe Race was held Saturday July 25th 2015. This was the 39th running of the event. At 64K long, it is the longest canoe race in Ontario and considered one of the premier events.
In attendance were; Chris VA3CMX, Howard VE3GMG, Paul VA3PC, Bruce VA3BDR, Bill VE3TGI, and Drew VE3MAF. As in other years there were 3 checkpoints as well as the Finish. #2 checkpoint is water (canoe) access only. Chris transported in all his gear including batteries, radios and a tarp for shelter.
Post-race Meal:gd2go will be catering and serving a hearty and healthy post-race meal with as much food sourced locally as possible and with minimal to no waste. Leisure Farms also supplies corn for a post-race corn roast. Bring your own plates, cups and cutlery.
