Below is a  list of known Amateur Radio Clubs in BC and Yukon.  Submissions from all clubs are welcome.  To simplify the listings the following abbreviations are used: ARC = Amateur Radio Club; ARA = Amateur Radio Association; ARS = Amateur Radio Society; T: = Tone.  Members of the club executive  will no longer be shown.  The URL for each club's web site, if provided, is "active".  Click on it and you will be taken to the club's home page.

Please HELP US keep this information accurate and up-to-date by filling in the online form with new, updated or corrected information.   If your club is incorporated please indicate by appending the suffix INC. to the club name.

Note:  Any club listings that have not been updated since 2007 will deleted as of 01 Jan 2010.  If your club's listing has been removed by mistake please let us know.  Please send updates to cdn_clubs@rac.ca

As of January 2010 a new policy for RAC Affiliated Clubs has been implemented.  Details are posted on the following site:

As clubs become affiliated under the this program new "RAC numbers" with a special suffix to go with the number to identify affiliated club.  The "non-affiliated" clubs will have a different number and suffix, but will continue to be listed.  It will take a while for all of this to get sorted out.

The procedure for incorporated clubs to make application for or to renew RAC liability insurance has changed.  Go to the following site for details:

 http://www.rac.ca/en/rac/services/insurance/

In order for a club to be covered by the RAC insurance program it MUST be incorporated.
