Natural  Resources Roundtable Discussions
Natural Resources Canada has forwarded to Nuclear Waste Watch invitations to participate in four online "roundtable" discussions of radioactive waste policy, with the expectation that we will extend this invitation through our network.  

A few key points:
  • These are sessions for public interest / civil society organizations and concerned Canadians
  • There are four environmental sector roundtables that NRCan will be hosting
  • Please register your interest and availability to attend at the link HERE. You will receive details about how to join the session, background materials, and the agenda provided by Natural Resources Canada.

​Please note that these sessions are hosted by Natural Resources Canada, and the agenda, time and date are set by Natural Resources Canada. Nuclear Waste Watch is circulating the notice and encouraging participation in this important review, but Nuclear Waste Watch is not the host of the Roundtable sessions.
