Abstract :
In 2009 NRC commenced construction of a new laboratory to house the NRC watt balance. We describe the procedures used and give results for the measurements of the acceleration due to gravity in the new laboratory. The data will be linked both to those laboratories participating in the Key Comparison CCM.G-K1 of 2009, and to the Canadian Gravity Standardization Network.
