History of Our Association
The Canadian Ladies' Amateur Radio Association has over 30 years of continuous operation on the air.
The birth of the national club came about as a Centennial project of the Ontario Trilliums at their 1967 meeting. The idea was to bring YL's together from across the country. After much discussion it was felt that the name (Canadian Ladies Amateur Radio Association) said it all and the acronym CLARA was most apt. The first president was Chris Weeks VE1AKO (now SK). Present at that first meeting were:
Jean VE3DGG (SK); Betty VE3ASZ; Cathy VE3GJH; Doree VE3EUV; Bonny VE3GSW; Shirley VE3GNG; Doreen VE3FUR; Audrey VE3CCO; Doris VE3BBO (SK); Thelma VE3CLT; Myrtle VE3FXM (SK) and visitors June Sanders and Doreen Titmarsh.
Prior to the formation of CLARA there were two clubs in Canada - The Ontario Trilliums and the Maritime Sparkettes.
At the CLARA meeting in September 1997, The Ontario Trilliums 'signed off' as their club membership had dwindled over the last few years. They generously gave their support to the Canadian Ladies.
