Operation Lost & Found (Regatta 2026)
Dear AVRAC Members,
We are looking for volunteer radio operators to assist with the Lost & Found operation during the Regatta on August 5th, in partnership with the Canadian Red Cross.
Throughout the day, Canadian Red Cross personnel will be patrolling the Regatta grounds. Volunteer radio operators will play an important role by providing communications between:
- Red Cross Units
- The Red Cross Lost & Found Tent
- The Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV)
- The Regatta Committee Command Post
When a missing person is reported, operators may also assist with the communication and coordination process. Standard forms will be completed for each reported missing person to help ensure accurate tracking and documentation.
Prior to the event, on August 3rd, we will hold a briefing session so that everyone understands their roles, responsibilities, procedures, and communication protocols.
Flexible scheduling is available. You do not need to commit to the entire day; any amount of time you can volunteer will be appreciated.
If you are interested in participating, please let me know, and we will invite you to the volunteer briefing meeting.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support the community.
73,
VO1MOE, Secretary d’AVRAC
