FAQ - GL of British Columbia and Yukon Trestleboard

Do I need a Google account to use the calendars?

Having a Google account has the following advantages:

You can see all subscribed calendars on all your devices.
You can see several calendars at a time.
You get reminders for events.

You can view calendars through this website but Google Calendars is a better option for most people.

Where do I get Google Calendar?

Google Calendar is available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

How do I subscribe using the QR Code?

Go to the Google Calendar app on your phone. Log into one of your Google accounts
Open your camera and start to take a picture of the QR Code. Your camera will say ‘Tap here to go to “Calendar.Google.com” …’
Select the Google Account to add the calendar to.
Done

If you have any issues, please contact Joe Klovance.

I get the error "calendar does not exist" when using the QR Code.

This error is usually caused by not being logged into a Google account on the phone. To check this, open the Google Calendar app on the phone and try the QR Code again. If that still doesn’t work, use a browser and click the subscribe link.

How do I subscribe in a browser?

Go to Home Page of this site.
Select the desired calendar from the list of calendars.
Scroll to the subscribe link.
Click “Subscribe to the Google Calendar”.

Can I use this without a Google account?

Calendars can be viewed and printed by going to the calendar page on this site.

Are Concordant Bodies going to be supported?

Currently Concordant bodies are not supported by this system as we are working hard to introduce it and get it running for Craft Lodges. When that is complete, we may support Concordant body calendars.

To whom do I report issue?

Please report issues about specific calendars to the calendar administrator found on the calendar page. For other issues, please contact the Trestleboard administrator Joe Klovance.

How do I add an event?

We are in the process of building a system to easily add and update events. Currently, any additions or updates are through the calendar administrator found on the calendar page or the Trestleboard administrator Joe Klovance.

How do I get another calendar added to this system?

We are currently working to get the Craft Lodge calendars complete and we will work on other calendars in the near future.
