(TSX: CVG) (“Clairvest”) today announced that Clairvest and Clairvest Equity Partners V (“CEP V”) made a growth equity investment in Right Time Heating and Air Conditioning Canada Inc.

We are impressed with our new partners’ track record and look forward to working with them in the coming years to help the Company achieve its growth objectives,” said Mitch Green, Managing Director of Clairvest.
“When Right Time decided to bring on an equity partner, we were looking for an active, non-control-oriented growth investor who would complement our existing skill set, and we found just that in Clairvest. Right Time is embarking on an exciting new growth chapter, and we have the best team in place to go after our goals,” said Jeremy Hetherington, President of Right Time.
