	In addition to VIPs and special guests that will be in attendance, there will also be Nissan product specialists on hand to answer questions on this new technology.

WHO:	Parliamentary Assistant to Minister of Economic Development and Innovation, Monte Kwinter; PowerStream Board Chair and Town of Markham, Mayor, Frank Scarpitti; President of Nissan Canada, Allen Childs, Georgian College President and CEO, Brian Tamblyn as well as the President and CEO of PowerStream, Brian Bentz, will be participating in the official proceedings.
