Greetings Northern Ontario Field Services Members;
First of all hello to everyone and I hope you all are doing well. I must start by apologizing to all you of not keeping in better contact with you all over the past few years. As your Section Manager even though I was only a call away I should have made better effort to call each of you and see how things were going. I want you all to know that I personally want to thank each of you for the great work you do each and every day for RAC and Ontario North Section. You have all placed us on the map with your continued successes.
