Dear OCNI Members, Partners, and Customers:
Many Provinces have started to announce reopen dates and plans. These gradual and staged approaches are cautious but also a good reminder for everyone to stay optimistic – there is light at the end of the tunnel, and thankfully it’s not a freight train. As government takes a slow, measured and cautious approach to a normalized state of being OCNI continues to stay the path, the team here continues to work on new virtual events and networking opportunities, and building member engagement pieces. The member survey provided us an insight into the sector for April/May we will be continuing this data collection to help with our conversation with NRCan and others, I encourage you to participate in the next snapshot survey.
Finally, in the last newsletter OCNI announced our helpline, our virtual doors are always open to you, if you have questions please reach out to us – we are always happy to help and hear your feedback.
Ron Oberth
President & CEO, OCNI

Become a champion of the Nuclear Industry and join
The Bruce Power COVID-19 Re-Tooling & Economic Recovery Council!
Over the course of the pandemic Bruce Power will be profiling stories from council members.
The council
will be in-place until the Pandemic is over and has two goals:

Leverage the extensive Bruce Power nuclear and isotope Supply Chain capacity we have in design, quality, manufacturing, engineering and distribution to immediately shift production to support Ontario’s fight against COIVD-19.
2.
Prepare strategies now so Bruce Power’s Made in Ontario Supply Chain for Life Extension, Manufacturing, Isotopes and other services can be a key contributor to the Province’s economic recovery and positioned to build on the strength of Canada’s largest private-funded infrastructure project.

World Nuclear Exhibition (WNE) will now be held 8 to 10 December 2020 at Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre
WNE exhibition’s new dates are 8 to 10 December 2020, and it will take place at the same venue, Hall 7 of Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre.
