Fitch Surveillance recently secured the order from Liberty Developments to provide integrated Access Control, CCTV and Duress systems along with an Enterphone for their new development known as Centre Park Condominiums in Thornhill.

Ed Fitchett has stepped down from the President's position for the Board of Directors for the Canadian Security Association (CANASA) in Ontario and from the National Board of Directors after the end of two two-year consecutive terms, which is the maximum allowed under Canasa's Constitution.

Municipal Projects
The Town of Ajax awards two projects to Fitch Surveillance: the Pavilion located on Lake Ontario, and their new Operations Center located on Salem Road.
The Pavilion, although small, enlists all the major security equipment as required by the Town - a DSC security system, GE digital recorders and Panasonic cameras.

New Project
Maple Leaf Foods asked Fitch to design a system that could be installed under challenging circumstances. The client was looking for an Access Control system to be installed in a building that houses a chicken processing plant. All cables needed to be completely impervious to water and humidity, and all tasks surrounding the installation would have to be performed while respecting a very clean environment. A Keyscan access control system was used to control two separate buildings.
