Comment on the proposed site selection process

We are committed to a transparent and inclusive engagement process.

We will engage with Indigenous Peoples and Canadians throughout 2026 and 2027. We will also reach out to individuals and organizations located in provinces with existing or prospective nuclear interest, as well as the general public.

As part of the NWMO’s commitment to Reconciliation, we invite Indigenous communities to meet with us.

We invite you to comment on any or all parts of the process. Your feedback will help finalize our site selection process. Your name and contact information will remain private and confidential.
