Lennox & Addington County ARES
The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) is composed of licensed radio amateurs
who have voluntarily registered to use their qualifications and equipment for public
service communications duty when disaster strikes.
ARES groups are called into service by a municipal official in response to a
declared emergency or disaster. The ARES program also provides for mutual assistance
to adjacent groups or when an area, district, provincial or national emergency is
declared.
At the moment Lennox-Addington is the only county in Ontario without a dedicated ARES
group and currently relies on support from Hastings and Frontenac counties in times of
trouble. Part of the Loyalist ARES District, we are looking for interested volunteers to
help organise an ARES group in the county.
Free training is available.
If you are interested in getting involved with ARES in Lennox-Addington, please contact
