Participant funding notice

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is offering participant funding to assist Indigenous Nations and communities, members of the public and stakeholders in reviewing and in submitting comments in writing to the Commission on Bruce Power’s mid-term update on licensed activities. The Bruce Power site is located in the municipality of Kincardine, Ontario and within the traditional territory of the Anishinabek Nation: the peoples of the three fires known as Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomie Nations. The Bruce region is also homeland to the Historic Saugeen Métis and to the Métis Nation of Ontario.

On September 20 and 21, 2023, the CNSC will hold a public meeting at which Bruce Power will provide a mid‑term update on licensed activities. In addition, CNSC staff will provide a presentation assessing Bruce Power’s overall safety performance over the first 5 years of its 10‑year licence period, including updates on requests made by the Commission in the 2018 record of decision.

Up to $75,000 in participant funding will be disbursed among all eligible applicants for the provision of new, distinctive and valuable information through informed and topic-specific interventions to the Commission. Participant funding applications must clearly demonstrate how the proposed intervention will provide the Commission with information directly related to Bruce Power’s mid-term update on licensed activities.
