January 3rd 2010 the NENA.ca website suffered a system failure.

We have been working hard to fully to restore the website and the documentation for our members. It will take some addition time to restore all the services such as membership functions and the forums.

We are targeting to have the membership functionality fully restore on February 6th 2010.

Your previous account will not be active until after February 6th, we will notify current members of their new account details once it is active.

Thanks for you patience.
