UPCOMING EVENTS & ACTIVITES
Another chance for CBay residents
to clean up and show your support
of WCDR.
We are pleased to have a mobile satellite communication terminal that will assist us with
internet communication during a blackout or when traditional network access is unavailable.
This equipment and a data package were through partnership with Strigo.
This system uses geo-stationary satellite and ground technologies that will allow us to
communicate during challenging disaster situations.
We are here for you.
When the tornado struck Kinburn and Dunrobin and the second flood in 3 years struck our Ottawa river neighbours in and around Constance Bay, West Carleton Disaster Relief was there.
