Join Our Community Liaison Committee!

Are you passionate about making a difference in your community? We are inviting community members and representatives of organizations to apply to join our Community Liaison Committee (CLC) in Toronto.

The Community Liaison Committee is a forum for the exchange of information between BWXT and members of the community near our facility at 1025 Lansdowne Avenue, Toronto.

As part of this volunteer committee, community members have the opportunity to raise questions or concerns and help BWXT identify opportunities to improve outreach efforts.

The deadline to apply is December 13, 2025. New members will be notified in early 2026.

The Toronto Community Liaison Committee application can be found here and is also linked below. Completed application forms can be returned via email to questions@bwxt.com. 

In The Community

Community Connect Information Event

On November 4, we hosted an information event in our parking lot on Lansdowne Avenue. Community members were able to engage with our team and learn more about the work we do to support the nuclear power industry right here in Davenport.

We will be holding more community events in 2026 and hope to see you there!

Community Tours

We recently hosted a public tour at our facility for interested community members. We began the visit with a presentation about BWXT and learned about what specifically our visitors were looking to learn about. After the overview, visitors were brought through for a guided tour of our fuel pellet manufacturing, seeing our process first-hand.

Additionally, we also hosted the York University Chapter from North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN) York University for an overview and tour, providing students aspiring to join the nuclear industry with a behind-the-scenes look at our operations.

Future community tours will be held in 2026 and will be shared via email updates like this one. If you would like to be added to our tour list, please reply to this email.

We also have a virtual tour of our fuel pellet manufacturing on our website here!

Recent Annual Drill

Did you notice emergency vehicles outside of our facility on October 28? Each fall, we hold a drill with local emergency responders to practice our emergency response.

We regularly perform drills to ensure response to an emergency

event is coordinated. All employees are trained on fire prevention measures, emergency situation responses, emergency evacuation routes and their specific responsibilities, and we have a comprehensive emergency response plan in place.

We use multiple tools to communicate drill information to community members in advance, such as mailers, banners, and social media; however, we do not communicate drill dates or times publicly as that would influence employee response, thereby defeating the purpose of the exercise.

For information on a drill or an emergency situation at BWXT, please call 1-855-696-9588 or email questions@bwxt.com.

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!
