In observance of Truth and Reconciliation Day, C.E.C. Innovations will be closed on September 30, 2024. This day serves as a time for reflection, honoring the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous communities. We stand in solidarity with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples as we remember the painful legacy of residential schools and the ongoing journey toward healing and reconciliation. We encourage everyone to take this day to reflect, listen, and deepen their understanding of Indigenous experiences and the path to justice. Operations will resume on October 1, 2024. 

Not only is our CEO Paul Westlund, PhD. showcasing our patented #Autosampler at #WSI2024 in Las Vegas, but he is also meeting with current and prospective customers in Nevada and beyond to learn more about their applications including substances of potential abuse, community virus trends, and wastewater management.

Ecosystem Protection: Maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems that support biodiversity. Policy and Planning: Providing data-driven insights for sustainable water management and public health policies. #WorldWaterMonitoringDay is an excellent opportunity for communities, businesses, and policymakers to recognize the critical importance of water monitoring and the rich data that it provides.
