The Niagara Peninsula Amateur Radio Club, founded in 1948, carries the club call sign of VE3VM. Our RAC affiliated organization serves all amateurs and local community within the region of Niagara located in Ontario, Canada.

NPARC has a strong membership ranging from youth to senior amateur radio operators. We conduct monthly meetings, and serve the community in not only educating, but providing radio communication services to assist at public functions.

We operate three, commercially built repeaters that serve the Niagara region (and beyond). This year, our infrastructure plan includes several upgrades to increase communication flexibility and experimentation in the area.

If you’re interested in becoming a licensed operator in Niagara, email one of our executive. Somebody from the club would be more than glad to assist you!
