General Notes

Overview

SAR Update
State of emergency in Ontario
Assembly done locally
New projects to work on!

SAR update

This week and next week we will focus on assembly of subsystems
I am currently arranging with Graeme Adair, our main contact to go into the bay, to go in and organize the parts to build the subsystems into separate boxes which can be picked up by the members building the systems
If you require any extra tools to build, let me know, there is talk of members buying the tools and getting reimbursed
The video planning is going well, have a look at the document and make comments and recommendations.
