The Life Member Affinity group organized a tour of the Canadian Centre for Product Validation (CCPV) on June 13, 2017. The event was open to all members, but we still had a very small turn out. John Makaran, SM, Director of CCPV provided an interesting tour and fielded the numerous questions. The CCPV facility is a state of the art electrical, environmental, and performance test facility built by Fanshawe College with FedDev funding that opened in 2016.
