The Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network (CACN) held a Reality Tour session earlier this month in Toronto, the second after one in Vancouver last November. Almost 60 representatives from law enforcement and industry, including CSA Group, Siemens and Eaton, came together to learn about a number of timely topics related to anti-counterfeiting initiatives.

The following day, CACN hosted a training session for Canada Border Service agents at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, led by Terry Hunter, CSA Group, and Vladimir Gagachev, Eaton. The session educated customs agents on how to identify a variety of counterfeit products, including electrical equipment.

Upcoming tour locations and dates:
– Montreal, April 18
– Quebec City, April 19
