Radio Amateurs of Canada bandplanning committees coordinate the development of National Plans to provide guidance for the usage of the Canadian amateur radio bands. These committees are made up of representatives from all regions of Canada.

The committees prepare interim band plans after consulting with amateurs across the country. These plans not only take into account the wishes of Canadian amateurs, but are also coordinated with band usage in other countries through membership in the International Amateur Radio Union.

Final versions of bandplans are published in TCA for last minute input, and then submitted to the RAC Board of Directors for approval.

Here are links to revised plans currently in DRAFT form for comments.

	Draft 2300 MHz plan (August 1999)
	Draft 160 Metre plan (Feb 2000)
