Chris Daniel Recognized With Minister’s Award of Excellence
Chris Daniel and his Community 3DP Task Force at Durham College was a driving force in the collaborative success of Northumberland.io. Not only did Professor Daniel advise our organizing committee with his technical expertise, he ensured critical supply of headbands for thousands of face shields that we produced together to support front-line workers in Northumberland, early in the pandemic when no other supplies were available. Shipments came in from Durham to Northumberland each week and helped ensure the success of our emergency PPE network. Chris’ determination was relentless and he had a huge impact. He (and his students) have achieved well-deserved recognition from the Province of Ontario with the Minister’s Award of Excellence. Congratulations, Chris.
