TORONTO COMMUNITY NEWS UPDATE

Hello Toronto Community,

In June, we celebrate National Indigenous History Month, National Indigenous Peoples Day and Pride Month. At BWXT, we are proud to honour and celebrate these important observances. Throughout the month, we will be sharing resources with employees to support continued learning from Indigenous voices and deepen awareness of the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples. We also proudly fly the rainbow flag at our facilities as a symbol of our commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive environment for all.

This past month has also been an important (and busy!) one for our team and our communities.

We participated in the CNSC Mid‑Term Review, where many of you shared thoughtful perspectives as intervenors - thank you for your continued engagement and support. We also conducted our 2026 community focus groups that offered a space for open conversation around transparency, safety, and local priorities.

Kind regards,

Brenda Palma

2026 Focus Groups

Four online focus groups were held in March 2026 to gather community perspectives within a 10 km radius of the Peterborough and Toronto BWXT sites.

Conducted by Abacus Data, these sessions included both residents familiar with BWXT and random community members, totalling 21 participants. Findings emphasize the importance of enhanced communication and transparency regarding nuclear manufacturing and local operations.

At BWXT in Toronto we manufacture ceramic pellets from natural uranium dioxide powder. After pressing, baking, grinding and inspecting the pellets, we send them to our Peterborough facility where they are placed in CANDU® fuel bundles. Both our Peterborough and Toronto facilities are licensed by Canada’s nuclear regulator, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). Approximately 40 people work at BWXT in Toronto in high-value manufacturing positions, engineering and operations support. The pellets manufactured by our employees in Toronto are placed into fuel bundles in Peterborough and go on to power 25% of Ontario!
