Dryden Nuclear Education and Engagement Committee

In early January of 2022, a staff report was brought forward to Dryden Council with a recommendation from the Master Plan Steering Committee for the establishment of a Dryden Nuclear Education & Engagement Committee.   As a result Council established the DNEEC and adopted the Terms of Reference.  Staff initiated a recruitment process for membership on the Committee and formerly appointed 4 representatives from the public and 3 representatives from Council.  A copy of the terms of reference, staff report and background information along with Committee Members and contact information are provided for information and reference.  

The fundamental role of the Dryden Nuclear Education and Engagement Committee (DNEEC) is to engage and educate the community by offering and  arranging learning opportunities regarding the NWMO’s Adaptive Phased Management (APM) Project for the long-term storage of used nuclear fuel in a deep geological repository (DGR), and how it may impact Dryden in all areas of safety and well-being, both positively and negatively.  The DNEEC is NOT tasked with providing a recommendation to City Council regarding the community’s support of the NWMO’s APM project, nor does the Committee make any decision on behalf of the City Council in this regard.  Its role is to be conduit for the education of the community through a variety of engagement opportunities.  The mandate of the Committee is encompassed in its Terms of Reference.
