From the Desk of the Director
Welcome to the Durability Centre Newsletter. I have been very pleased by the welcome I have received since taking over as Centre Director last month.I am working to rebuild the Centre and increase its outreach as we move into the second cycle of FWPA support. I am also working to get out to visit as many facilities as possible and welcome invitations to visit and/or speak at regional meetings to help gain a better idea of industry needs. At the same time, I am working to complete a number of existing projects and recruit new post-graduate students to help expand Centre activities as I set the agenda for the next five years.
