Preparing for decommissioning a nuclear reactor presents some challenges and working in insufficient lighting is one of them! We recently installed a new external substation and 24 km of electrical cable throughout the Reactor Building at our Douglas Point site to improve lighting. A lack of adequate lighting proved dangerous and insufficient for daily operations and future projects within the building. With the new lighting system installed, staff will now be able to perform routine tasks and future projects in a safer, illuminated environment. 💡 ... See MoreSee Less

So proud of this little guy!
This month we also celebrate Pride month and in support we have raised Pride Flags at all of our sites (that have flagpoles).
We continue to work through Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives to create a safe and open workplace for all. As we move towards a bright future for all of CNL, we work towards a diverse and inclusive workforce that celebrates all individuals for who they are.
Happy Pride!

Today we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. While this year is different in many ways, we maintain our Diversity and Inclusion commitment to help build and sustain respectful and meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities.
On this day, we reflect on our journey towards reconciliation, the importance of this amplified in the wake of recent events, and celebrate Indigenous people’s culture and contributions.
How are you planning on honouring Indigenous Peoples Day? At CNL we recognize the Indigenous Peoples as stewards of the land and water with traditional territories on which we work and live. Take a moment to self-reflect and consider what are some actions that can further your path of understanding and reconciliation.
In previous years, we have had the privilege of celebrations at our specific sites, however, due to circumstances this year we are not able to be together, but we were able to record some messages to share with you.
Trevor Pearce and Jacques Vincelette (and Clementine) met at Centennial Rock in Deep River this year starting off with a Land Acknowledgement, the event taught Jacques a lesson in recognition and inclusion. As he was caught up in his agenda delivering the land acknowledgement, Jacques now realizes he did not practice the words he was saying in taking a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the merganser ‘bec-scie’ duck family that Clementine pointed out. In this there was a lesson on inclusion and honesty in remembering that Clementine and the wild ducks were there to be included. Jacques and Trevor continued the ceremonies with a prayer and introduction and smudging before drumming the Bear song and the Eagle song to celebrate this special day.
After drumming, in acknowledgement and honour of the children discovered Trevor presented Clementine with a child’s drum. This passing of the drum is not only the passing on of culture to the next generation but an acknowledgement of those who lost the chance to learn their culture and share in their rich heritage.
Carl Fontaine came to the Whiteshell Laboratories site to share a Mother Earth teaching with us. To start the teaching in a good way CNL staff presented Carl with tobacco and Carl led a smudge before proceeding with his mother earth teaching.

I love that album by Genesis - "Selling England by the Pound". Original vocals by Peter Gabriel (1973). (The opening song of this video)
