I am interested in getting started with an amateur radio but have absolutely no idea on what licensing I need or equipment. I am looking for some assistance on getting me started.

Regards,
Joe

Here is some information from the Canadian government about amateur radio licensing: Amateur Certification — Fact Sheet - Spectrum management and telecommunications

Also, here's a link to the Radio Amateurs of Canada website. Looks like they have some good information about how to start in amateur radio and a list of clubs. I suggest you find a club in your area. At a club, you can meet other amateur radio operators and get to know about amateur radio activities in your area. I don't see any club listings for Cochrane, but it looks like there are a couple of clubs in Calgary. Radio Amateurs of Canada – Welcome to the Radio Amateurs of Canada website!
