This is V_3___, Official Bulletin Station for Radio Amateurs of Canada with this week's bulletin.
NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL NEWS
1. IARU Considers Consolidation
The IARU has released guidance on potential restructuring to help the organization meet modern challenges. The proposed changes would combine the 3 separate regional organizations into a single global entity.
The changes are designed to establish a number of benefits:
Global representation
Streamlined decision making
Better allocation of resources
Improved communication
Long-term sustainability
Centralized finances
Greater influence
Member societies will vote on the restructuring with the potential for a transition as early as next year. The full consultation restructuring (PDF) is available on the IARU website.

3. Logs are due for the Ontario QSO Party this weekend.
If you operated (even casually) we would like to get a log from you. There are still some Ontario multipliers that were active and operators haven't submitted logs. You could get a nice certificate if you were the highest score in that part of Ontario. Logs will be accepted until I return from Hamvention (likely Monday or so).
