"The Wales Air Forum are delighted with the arrival of the first aircraft to be maintained at the Cardiff Aviation Ltd maintenance, repair and overhaul facility at St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan."
What name are Cardiff Aviation Ltd approved under? Looking at the CAA's list of approved Part 145 organisations, there is only the British Airways subsidiaries and GE listed with addresses in Glamorgan, Cardiff or St Athan.
If Cardiff Aviation Ltd don't have a Part 145 approval, how are they these CL215s being "maintained"?

So Cardiff Aviation Ltd have got TCCA approval ahead of EASA Part 145? Nice work, that must have been a fierce tricky piece to achieve. Saying that, the Transport Canada website doesn't list Cardiff Aviation Ltd either. So, back to the original question, how are they these CL215s being "maintained"?

The fact that the CAA nor the TCCA websites do not list the fact that Cardiff Aviation have the relevant approvals doesn't mean anything, websites are not difinitive, if you really are that bothered about it, either ring the CAA or TCCA or in fact Cardiff Aviation.
