Member of Provincial Parliament Cindy Forster visited the Bruce Power site for a tour with representatives of the company and The Society. Forster, who represents Welland and serves as the NDPs caucus chair and Labour Critic, learned about the way nuclear energy is generated, and the role it plays in Ontarios energy mix and economy.
Following the tour, Forster met with Society members to hear the workers perspective.
It feels good to be able to show lawmakers what our industry does, said Bruce Power LVP Mike Gade. Queens Park supports nuclear but I dont know that they really appreciate how it works and what it takes to make these plants run, whether its Bruce or OPG. Im glad to be able to take MPPs like Ms. Forster around and show them what we do.
