Today we’re at ACE, the Automotive Centre of Excellence on the Campus of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology and we’re working with Canadian Tire.

This facility will allow us to test a variety of different conditions from East to West Coast. Replicating conditions that every Canadian drives through in the winter.

Currently we’re in the climatic wind tunnel. Whatever mother nature can throw, we can duplicate it. We’re a perfect storm.

We’re going to be testing the Quebec ice storm. We’re going to be testing the Toronto snow dump, what we call it in the army. We’re going to be testing conditions down to minus forty for those extreme temperatures in Winnipeg or in Northern Canada. We have complete control of the weather in these facilities that allows us to test to any degree that we would want.

This is full size testing. You’ve got multiple trucks in front of a huge wind nozzle. You are talking about a two and a half Megawatt fan that can throw winds at hurricane forces.

We’re testing the extremes that Canada can produce in this cold weather chamber to see how our products will perform. These are conditions that we know Canadians have to drive through and they have to have products that will actually meet those needs. 

Today we’re going to be testing (the reflex ice windshield washer fluid with a de icing property in it, that allows the product to break up the ice and sleet on a windshield so that the blade can clearly clean it away. It’s a deicer that works to minus 49 degrees celsius. Its able to give our customers a clear view in really low and extreme conditions. It prevents re freezing on a windshield, it improves visibility and it also has water repelling properties that allow any other percipitation to effortlessly glide off the windshield.

It’s really important for a company like Canadian Tire to do testing because the products have to work. They have to work in real situations.

It’s our customer’s feedback that we really value and that’s why we have our customers here today. It’s their feedback that will allow us to legitimize what we’re doing and say that this is in fact tested for live in Canada because it’s relevant for their life in Canada.

I was excited when I was called to be a tester. I went online, signed up and here I am today.
