NWMO Submission
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization is inviting local residents and Indigenous peoples to fill out an online survey and help shape their plans for the future.
The survey is part of the release of the five-year strategic implementation plan and looks at the current site selection process and beyond.
It provides updates on safety and security planning as well as information on community engagement.
The next five years will see the agency move from an organization that is planning to build an underground repository to one that is implementing that plan in either Ignace or South Bruce.
Vice-President of Communications Lisa Frizzell says local feedback drives and informs their work and they need to hear from everyone to ensure they are on the right track.
Responses will be accepted until June 11.

Following site selection, the NWMO will take on a new series of activities:
-Implementing partnership agreements with host communities
-Finalizing the safety case for the identified site
-Preparing to construct a Centre of Expertise
-Preparing for and participating in regulatory processes
-Getting ready to move operations to the site that is selected
