Chris collaborated with the City of Vaughan to secure $2.5 million in funding from the Province of Ontario to establish an Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) Demonstration Zone in Markham Centre. The initiative provides a real-world urban environment where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can pilot and showcase advanced mobility solutions—including electric vehicles, robotics, integrated mobility systems, and connected/autonomous vehicle technologies. The zone is now operational across downtown Markham and Vaughan.
