Thanks for your patience in waiting for our website to be back online. The data for the site were temporarily lost due to a server crash at University of Toronto. With the help of Alex Dvornyak and Seagate we have been fortunate to recover the entire website and are now in the process of having the site moved to University of Waterloo, as well as updating and modifying the content.

Our fee structure has changed as of April 1, 2009 and the following charges now apply:

New location for CPCC (formerly UTCC)

The CPCC was relocated from the University of Toronto to the University of Waterloo in August 2008.  We have hired a new Technical Curator, Heather Roshon to work with Judy Acreman, who is now serving as Manager of the CPCC on a part time basis. We are in a transition phase but will do our best to serve you as promptly as possible. Please allow 8-10 business days from the time we receive your order until the cultures are shipped. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

The CPCC which was formerly known as UTCC becomes 22 years old in 2009. See the Timeline for some of the milestones along the way.
