New Director of Planning for the Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization

Don Mackinnon, VE4DJ, has become the Director of Planning for the Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization.

A lawyer and former police officer, Don has been the Radio
Amateurs of Canada (RAC) Manitoba Section Emergency Coordinator for some 12 years and this week gave up that appointment in order to address his new EMO role.

Besides his many other contributions to Amateur Radio, Don chaired the RAC National Training Resource Group, commissioned by the RAC Vice President for Field Services in August, 2006. Many recommendations and suggestions came from that Group, with a number of them subsequently implemented.

RAC extends sincere thanks to Don for his past support and best wishes in his new post.
