Hamilton, Ontario, August 16, 2019 – The Centre for Probe Development and Commercialization’s Senior Leadership Team took time on Friday afternoon to celebrate with their Hamilton staff on the McMaster University campus at the famous Willy Dog Hot Dog cart. Over 60 staff attended the lunch time event on a great summer day! The event was held to show appreciation to our staff for the effort put into the preparation for CPDC’s FDA audit held in July 2019. Special treats were sent to our offsite locations in Toronto and Ottawa, as well as to the night shift staff in Hamilton, to ensure the whole company was included in the event.
CPDC’s President and CEO, Dr. Joe McCann commented at the event that “CPDC is committed to maintaining industry leading quality standards and implementing continued quality improvements. We are very grateful and appreciative of our staff who all embrace this approach and who put significant effort into the preparation for the audit. We are extremely pleased to announce that no observations were received at the conclusion of the inspection. CPDC extends its gratitude to our clients who supported us during the inspection.” CPDC is also inspected by Health Canada and has maintained a compliant rating since 2009.
