Communications Team

The Provincial Communications Team are always looking for a good story. Maybe you’re doing something a little different in your lodge? Maybe you have a member that has an unusual hobby or contributes more than most to the community? We want to hear about it!

As well as always being on the lookout for a scoop, we are constantly looking to add to the team. If you feel you have the time, commitment and the right skills to offer, then contact the Provincial Communications Officer who will be only too pleased to chat.
