Opportunity to discuss Ottawa L5 developments & rebranding. Meeting was intended to discuss the market launch and rebranding of Ottawa L5 in the fall – goal was to identify who to work with on Medding's staff and to secure a date. It is downstream of a Grant awarded by FedDev Ontario, the request for which occurred before the pandemic hit.
