A Full House for Country Twist!

What a day at the Dyment Recreation Hall! Country Twist, featuring the talented Gerry McArthur, Tanya McArthur, and Maurice Betournay, truly rocked the house today, playing to a full audience that was ready to celebrate. With dancing, a constant stream of lively tunes, and so many other activities happening around the complex, it was truly a fantastic Canada Day for everyone who came out.

A massive thank you goes out to the Local Services Board of Melgund for their incredible support in making such a vibrant and fun event possible. Their dedication to the community shone through, creating a day packed with good times and neighbourly cheer. It’s events like these that truly bring Melgund Township to life!

The Melgund Integrated Nuclear Impact Assessment Project (MINIAP) is a community-driven research and policy initiative examining the environmental, social, cultural, economic, and long-term safety impacts of the proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada’s used nuclear fuel in Melgund, Ontario. Aligned with the federal impact assessment process led by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, and focused on the proposal advanced by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, this integrated project analyzes groundwater protection, nuclear waste storage safety, Indigenous rights and treaty interests, environmental monitoring, long-term radioactive waste containment, emergency preparedness, regulatory oversight, community health, regional economic impacts, and intergenerational stewardship. Designed to enhance public participation, transparency, and evidence-based decision-making, the Melgund Integrated Nuclear Impact Assessment Project provides accessible analysis, technical review, and community engagement resources to support informed input into Canada’s nuclear waste management strategy and the federal impact assessment process.
