SARL

The purpose of this site is to help share knowledge about events, clubs and Amateur radio groups throughout Saskatchewan. We hope you will enjoy our site, with a different look.

Here in Western Canada the vast open spaces make for some interesting challenges for Amateur Radio. We have a relatively small population compared to our land mass. Over the years Saskatchewan radio operators have tried to bridge the distance gap with a combination of different linking techniques. These are comprised of a radio and Internet based repeaters throughout the southern and northern areas.

There is also activity in the High Frequency radio bands with Nets to help those outside the reach of VHF & UHF repeaters. Please join with us here on the website where we try and bring areas of our province closer together by learning a little about different clubs, organizations and the events and activities they take part in.

SARL Directors & Executive

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESENT DIRECTORS AND THE MEMBERS AT LARGE.

SARL Directors from past president Gord Gwillim.

Most of us whose names appear on the Saskatchewan Amateur Radio League, SARL website have been supporters for many years. It is no secret that the organization has been dormant for several years.

This situation has happened a few times since the League was formed in the 1950s.

Our organization only flourishes with help and under the leadership of at least three executive members with vision and fortitude.

In order to re-invent ourselves we are in need of a slate of executive members who will take on some responsibilities. All executive members are important in keeping the SARL going but in this case we are in immediate need of a treasurer and secretary. Sometimes this is the same person and that works well, but is a bit like some other organizations I could name in which one person does all the work.

At this time, we have no executive, so we have no organization and no way to continue with the financial commitments we have been responsible for in the past.

The SARL will by now have been erased from the roles in the provincial non profit corporations list and a fresh start with forms to fill by the new executive.

Most if not all of the information required to be re-admitted to the corporations list will be found in the SARL information and records being held by me at present.

If two or more amateur radio operators in Saskatchewan come forward with a plan to re-activate SARL and are committed to carry out the required paper work, I will deliver the required historical documents to an agreed location. More information about the work can be had by phoning Val Lemko, VE5AQ in Moose Jaw. I can supply her phone number.

Thankyou to the directors who have been so helpful over the years and now you can maybe pass this information to prospective directors and executive.

Gord. VE5UJ
