Our next meeting is the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, October 14th 1930ET up at the fire hall on base. I will no be there as I will be at the cottage. I will try to get another reminder out this week before I leave.

Bill 118 - Ontario's New Rules For Hand-Held Wireless And Entertainment Devices comes into effect October 26th 2009. The following is a quote...

"Emergency Response Personnel
Police, fire department and emergency medical services personnel will be permitted to use hand-held wireless communications devices and view display screens in the normal performance of their duties.

The use of hand-held radios by amateur radio operators (who provide assistance, especially in emergency situations such as severe storms and blackouts) will be phased out within three years, to allow hands-free technologies to be developed. "
