Saugeen Ojibway Nation have expressed their disappointment after not being involved in the development of Canada’s Nuclear Energy Strategy.
On June 22nd, the Government of Canada released the strategy confirming Canada’s commitment to expanding and accelerating nuclear energy development with Ontario playing a key role.
Saugeen Ojibway Nation says despite the significant impacts that nuclear development will have on their lands, waters and people they were not part of the development.
Saugeen Ojibway Nation adds by making nuclear energy a key part of Canada’s energy and industrial strategy, Canada risks repeating a pattern of putting industry priorities ahead of SON rights and stewardship responsibilities.
