Hello Peterborough Community,

In case you missed it, we are having a Community Connect Information Event on Thursday, March 12 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at Healthy Planet Arena (911 Monaghan Road, Peterborough) and we hope you can make it!

At the event you can interact with our team, ask any questions you may have about our upcoming public meeting with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission in May, and discover how we create the fuel that powers Ontario with clean energy and facilitates the production of life-saving nuclear medicine. We will also share more about the design, engineering and manufacturing work our teams do to develop key tools and systems needed to support the nuclear power and medicine industries!

Please find below some other updates. As always, reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Kathleen Augustin

BWXT is inviting members of the community to take part in an upcoming focus group discussion about our operations and how we engage with the community.

We have commissioned Abacus Data, a leading Canadian market research and public opinion firm, to independently conduct these discussions and provide a third-party perspective. The goal is to better understand community awareness and gather feedback on how we can improve communication and engagement.

If you are interested in participating, please click the link below. It will take you to a short survey designed to gauge your interest and availability:

Please note that completing the survey does not guarantee participation. Not everyone who indicates interest will be selected, and final recruitment will be conducted by Abacus Data, not BWXT. We appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to hearing from members of our community.

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) will hold a public meeting the week of May 25, 2026, in Peterborough and/or virtually, where BWXT will provide a mid-term update on our licensed activities at the Toronto and Peterborough facilities.

BWXT holds two separate Class IB licenses, both of which expire on December 31, 2030. The mid-term update will cover the first five years of the 10-year licensing period for both facilities.

BWXT and CNSC will both present updates during this meeting. Submissions from BWXT and CNSC will be available after February 25, 2026.
