Sherwood Park Highland Gathering - July 19-20, 2025

The amateur radio community's reputation has put us in the sights of the Sherwood Park Highland Gathering and they seeked us out to help with their event. The highland gathering will be held at Sherwood Park's Broadmoor Lake Park.on Saturday July 19th and Sunday July 20th 2025. We will be dong a few things at the highland gathering. 

• Managing the volunteer parking located at Salisbury Composite High School.

• Managing traffic between the volunteer parking and the event area

• Tracking weather and activities in the area as part of threat/risk management.

• Providing on site communications and net control.

This will be our first year with this event so there are many unknowns that are sure to make our job "exciting". As part of your volunteering you will (I've asked for them) receive a volunteer t-shirt and a meal for your shift. The Sherwood Park Highland Gathering organizers are very keen to have us as part of their event.

There may be a Friday shift as well and we will let you know if additional help is needed for that.

Edmonton Toy Run - September 21, 2025

The Edmonton Toy Run has been making a difference in the lives of children since 1984. Traditionally two radio groups, NARC and the Sherwood Park Radio Club (SPRC), have suported this event with NARC providing coverage along the route and SPRC managing the pre race staging area. At this time, it seems only SPRC is engaged and will be providing assistance at the staging area (Blackjacks Roadhouse in Nisku).

The route starts at Blackjacks Roadhouse in Nisku with riders arriving between 9:00AM and 10:45AM. Santa then leads the ride to the Edmonton Inn and Conference Centre on Kingsway at 11:00AM. It's an impressive (and loud) drone as hundreds for motorcycles, trikes, etc. leave the staging area.
