“We’re incredibly honoured to have Scott on the emergency program team and leading the radio communications team,” explains Howie Siemens, Manager of Emergency Programs. “Scott was instrumental in supporting CVEP in the development of the regional emergency radio communications program and coming up with the concept of neighbourhood HUB radio volunteering opportunities. He is dedicated to ensuring our region will have communications when all the other telecommunications fail. He truly deserves to be recognized for his contributions.”
Scott’s volunteer highlights include:

Scott Goodman’s dedication, professionalism and response to the Comox Valley Emergency Program over the years is truly exceptional. I can attest to Scott’s attitude in working with the other volunteers that make the service operate so well, and also Scott’s approach in supporting recent improvements to our radio infrastructure. Scott has been there for every aspect – supporting the contractors and staff in any way possible to ensure we receive a quality product.
