What is happening?
OTTAWA, ON, June 12, 2025 – The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) are jointly assessing the proposed Bruce C Nuclear Project, a new nuclear power plant planned for the Bruce Power site near Kincardine, Ontario.
As part of the integrated assessment’s planning stage, IAAC and the CNSC are inviting input from Indigenous groups and the general public on the draft Integrated Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines (draft Integrated Guidelines) and the draft Public Participation Plan (draft Plan).
The draft Integrated Guidelines detail the specific elements to be considered when assessing the project and instruct Bruce Power, the project’s proponent, on the necessary studies and information for its Impact Statement and its application for a site preparation license. The draft Plan outlines how the public will be involved during the review and provides details on the timing and methods for public engagement at each stage of the integrated assessment.
The project requires an integrated impact assessment to satisfy the requirements of both the Impact Assessment Act and the Nuclear Safety and Control Act. IAAC and the CNSC are collaborating to ensure a streamlined review process: “one project, one review.”
