In March 2003, the CWN held its inaugural National Symposium in Saint John, New Brunswick. The Symposium program was full and the sessions were well attended. Presentations on the Network’s 28 research projects, in addition to presentations on industrial, federal and provincial initiatives, highlighted the level of excellence in research that CWN embodies.

We look forward with much anticipation to the coming year as CWN works to fulfill its mandate. The network will consolidate and critique its current research program and will re-evaluate its strategic plan as presented in
its original proposal to the NCE Directorate.
