Why Is This Workshop Important?

The Impact Assessment public comment period is currently open, but only for a limited time. This workshop provides the tools you need to make an impact. Participants will:

• • Demystify the Process: Get a clear breakdown of the federal Impact Assessment phases and how they affect our local environment.

• • Expert Advice: Receive step-by-step instructions on submitting your formal feedback ahead of the May 10 deadline.

• • Identify Concerns: Collaboratively discuss critical risks, including water safety, radioactive transport hazards, and the long-term ecological health of the region.

The Deadline: May 10

Federal authorities are currently finalizing the “rules of engagement”—the guidelines that determine exactly what the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is required to study. This is your chance to ensure that no stone is left unturned regarding the safety of our land and water.

“This is a pivotal moment for community involvement. We are setting the scope for the entire assessment right now, and every voice counts.”
