CANWARN TRAINING
DATES 2012
(updated
March 10 2012)
Hello, everyone,
after a winter that wasn't in many parts of the province, it is time to
turn our attention to the renewed possibility of extended stretches of
true spring-like weather. Along with milder temperatures and longer days
will come the increased chance of severe thunderstorms in Ontario. And
so once again, it is time to release the first glance at the upcoming CANWARN
storm spotter training sessions. Some work is still required to confirm
exact venues in some locations but the dates are provided for planning
purposes and the venues will be firmed up in the coming weeks in future
releases.
Once again,
I thank all of you for being part of this very important program. Your
reports in the last year have continued to provide valuable "on-the-ground"
information to the Ontario Storm Prediction Centre. This also represents
CANWARN's 25th year in Ontario. It all began in Windsor back in 1987 and
we have seen the program grow significantly in the last number of years.
So please join us if you can at a training session near you.
As in past
years, I would ask you to RSVP me at geoff.coulson@ec.gc.ca to let me know
which session you plan on attending so we can get a sense of the numbers
of attendees at each location. So here they are, the dates/venues as things
stand now. Dates and venues in June for Northwestern Ontario will be forthcoming
in future releases.
