EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE 2008

MEDICINE HAT, ALBERTA, CANADA

Global Variety will take you on an incredible journey through Defence R&D Canada - Suffield (DRDC Suffield) including The Cameron Centre, the core of CBRNe training in North America serving British Forces as well as American on all aspects of Detection, Ready Response, Decontamination, Containment and Recovery. The Counter Terrorism Technology Centre, (CTTC) a key component of Canada's ability to respond to domestic and International Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNe) incidents with over 60 years of research and experience offers unparalleled unique Laboratories, Testing Facilities, with on-site Scientific Expertise and Live Action Training (LAT), both in lab and open air, year-round. Join the staff and trainers for this unique one half day experience and then spend the rest of the day and the next two days at the Cyprus Centre in Medicine Hat listening and learning from the top of the CBRNe field of excellence and hear it from those who know and have lived this very precarious world.
Chemical/Biological (CBplus) Exposure Chamber Facility
A unique Chemical/Biological exposure chamber is being developed at Defence R&D Canada - Suffield for research and validation studies involving protection of military and first responder personnel against highly toxic substances.
DRDC Suffield Next-To-Skin (NTS) Chemical Vapour Protection Undergarment and Aircrew Hood
Background Chemical protective garments have traditionally consisted of coverall or stand-alone concepts. Coverall designs are overgarments intended to be worn over existing operational clothing and consist of an outer shell layer and a chemical adsorptive layer. The stand-alone concept is a lighter version of the coverall that is typically worn over boxer shorts and t-shirt, and is constructed from a liquid repellent outer shell layer, a chemical adsorptive layer and a skin comfort layer. Both of these concepts are typically bulkier and looser-fitting than operational clothing. Such a fit results in a large volume of air space within the garment when worn, promoting a bellowing effect and consequently reducing the vapour protection performance of the garment.
May 2003: SARS - Toronto, Ontario
Health Canada contacted DRDC Suffield during the SARS outbreak in Toronto. Once again we were asked to respond quickly to collect aerosol samples in patient rooms at a Toronto Hospital to assess whether the virus was present in the air. Air samples containing SARS virus were successfully collected and identified by PCR. This is the only known successful aerosol sampling of SARS virus and a manuscript for publication is nearing completion.
