Safety Trip Plan

On January 12th, Erma MacDonald of Safety Trip Plan, was our guest speaker.  Erma treated us to an interesting talk about the origins of this service, which began in the U.S.A. in the 1970's for boaters as  'Float Plan Registration', as well as how the plan expanded into Canada and now includes services for all types of trips.  For a $45 annual fee, an unlimited number of trips can be registered for the entire family.  If you do not arrive at your destination at the appointed time and have not called in to report your arrival, emergency contact numbers are used and, if necessary, emergency staff are dispatched.
