New summer hours for RAC Office

As a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the RAC Head Office in Ottawa has been closed temporarily to ensure the safety of RAC operating staff, volunteers and visitors. Through the wonders of technology, we continue to monitor and respond to telephone calls and to email messages sent to RAC HQ and the majority of activities and responsibilities of the RAC administration are now being performed remotely.

Unfortunately, some activities requiring equipment and resources at the RAC Office cannot be completed and this includes the regular RAC Membership Renewal notices that are usually mailed out on a monthly basis. As a result we have provided several options for renewing your membership as described below.

Renewal Options Available:

You may renew your membership:

• Online: by completing a renewal form provided on our Membership Renewals webpage or by clicking on the “Join Radio Amateurs of Canada” logo on the top right of this webpage. Payments must be made by credit card or by PayPal.
• By phone: by calling 877-273-8304 from 10 am to 4 pm EST/EDT, Monday through Thursday until September 1 (except statutory holidays). You may pay by credit card or you may send a cheque for the appropriate amount to the RAC head office.
• By mail: if you prefer to have your renewal form processed via standard mail, you can download an application for your region by clicking on the appropriate link below. You may need to adjust your printer’s settings to reduce the print size by clicking on “Fit”, “Shrink oversized pages” or reducing the scale to 90%. Once the form has been completed please mail it to the address provided below. 

Application forms: Atlantic | Ontario | GST Regions | International

We would appreciate it if you would please renew your membership now and continue to ensure Amateur Radio has a strong voice in Canada and internationally.
