Workforce Development Study Report - Southwestern Ontario Community Study

20 May 2022

These community studies are intended to support current dialogue between the MSB and the NWMO regarding a potential hosting agreement by: a) Exploring in more detail the questions, aspirations and topics of interest expressed by the community through the Guiding Principles approved by the MSB following the project visioning process completed in the community; b) Assisting the NWMO and the MSB in d. [...] The overall objective of the Workforce Development Study is to characterize and describe the labour NWMO (employment) needs for the Project and describe how NWMO and regional agencies can develop the workforce necessary to undertake the Project. [...] The Workforce Development Study is an NWMO-led study, with the NWMO determining the spatial Study Area, the data and inputs used to establish baseline conditions, and the assessment of the forecasted effects resulting from the Project. [...] 4 The wind down in activity related to the MCR project at the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station will not only enhance the labour pool in the Region, but it will also potentially dovetail into the ramp-up of construction activity related to the APM Project, adding to the ability of the Region to meet the labour requirements of the Project. [...] This refurbishment extends the power production capability of the plant another 40 years, and therefore the presence of the nuclear industry and its capabilities will continue to be in the area for the foreseeable future.
