Amateur radio club returns to museum

Remembrance Day traditions continue at McCrae House with the Guelph Amateur Radio Club.

In its 20th season, the group will again be sending and receiving remembrance mes­sages at the birthplace of John McCrae Nov. 3 to 11. 

Members of the radio club look forward to contacting, via the airwaves, ham radio en­thusiasts around the world. This is their opportunity to acknowledge Remembrance Day and exchange thoughts on its significance. The club also assists the museum in educat­ing children and adult groups taking part in Remembrance programs offered throughout the week.

Students, as well as the general public, are invited to share their thoughts and re­acquaint themselves with John Mc­Crae.

Visit the museum on  Nov. 11 beginning at 9am with a short flag ceremony organized by the Col. John McCrae Legion, in the McCrae Garden. Admission to McCrae House on this day is by donation and the house is open until 5pm.

McCrae House is located at 108 Water Street, and is open daily 1 to 5pm leading up to Remembrance Day. Regular admission to the museum is: adults, $4, seniors and students, $3, and families $10. Contact Guelph Museums at 836-1221, extension 2773 for more infor­mation.
