Kincardine, Bruce County host Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities
September 13, 2024
The Municipality of Kincardine and Bruce County hosted the summer meeting of the Canadian Association of Nuclear Host Communities (CANHC), Friday, Sept. 6.
Elected officials and staff from other member communities were in attendance, including Clarington, Durham Region, Deep River, Pinawa, Northumberland County, and the Municipality of South Bruce.
The group of 20 members began the day with a morning bus tour of both the Municipality of Kincardine and the Bruce Power site, then gathered on Harbour Street at George’s for presentations and discussions.
“The Municipality of Kincardine is the host community of Bruce Power and a long-standing member of the CANHC,” said Kincardine mayor Kenneth Craig. “It’s a great time to learn from other nuclear host communities and share the first-hand opportunities and challenges we face as a small community hosting some of Canada’s largest infrastructure projects currently under way and proposed in our community. It has been a fabulous day of learning and information sharing.”
Craig added that it’s an honour for the Kincardine and the participating organizations, including Bruce Power, the Nuclear Innovation Institute (NII), Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), and Ontario Power Generation (OPG), to be able to open their doors to showcase everything happening in the nuclear industry in the Municipality of Kincardine.
The CANHC is a not-for-profit association supporting local governments by acting as a resource for all current, future, and interested nuclear host communities. The association does this while maintaining the best interests of its member communities in an ongoing proactive relationship with the Canadian nuclear industry and its regulators.
“On behalf of all the members of CANHC, I thank the Municipality of Kincardine for hosting such an informative and productive meeting,” said Adrian Foster, CANHC chairman and mayor of Clarington. “We’ll be looking forward to meetings in other host communities where we can get to know each other better, and share ideas and best practices.”
