Canadian at our core
At Bruce Power, being Canadian is at the heart of who we are. As a proudly Canadian-owned company, we are committed to providing safe, reliable power to Ontario and cancer-fighting medical isotopes globally. We also help to drive the economy, with 95 per cent of our spend in Canada and encourage our partners to buy local, buy Canadian.
Supporting local
and Canadian made
James Scongack, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice-President, highlights Bruce Power’s commitment to supporting local and Canadian-made products through five key pillars.
Our commitment to buy local and products made in Canada has five key pillars:
The 95 per cent target
As one of the largest investors and only private operator of nuclear plants in Canada we will continue our work to target 95 per cent of all money we spend is in Canada including the operation of our facility, capital investments and procurement.
Supply Chain partnerships
Through our integrated supply chain, Bruce Power will be establishing a Made in Canada Council to find ways to leverage our existing supply chain to support Canada and Ontario’s economic growth and trade agenda, while finding new innovative ways to strengthen our domestic supply chain.
Buy Local in the Clean Energy Frontier Region
The Bruce Power Site is the largest in North America and is located on the traditional territories of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) and in the Tri County Region of Bruce, Grey and Huron Counties. We will work to ensure our key suppliers continue to expand their local presence, securing jobs and opportunities locally, while we direct more spend to local businesses.
Reconciliation through action
Bruce Power is committed to reconciliation with Indigenous communities and will work to strengthen our partnerships including the SON existing Gamzook’aamin aakoziwin isotope venture. We’re committed to securing more investment in these communities for a future that will ensure the next 50 years is different than the last 50 years by working together.
Isotopes for Hope
Bruce Power is committed to being a world-leader in the development and production of Made in Canada cancer-fighting medical isotopes to meet global needs and supporting the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council’s goal to double Canadian production by 2030.
Through our operations, our people, and our contributions to the world health-care community, we support local businesses, skilled trades, innovation and the economy. A strong, united Canada benefits everyone.
“At a time when the United States has taken aim at our economy, our government is laser-focused on ensuring Ontarians have access to a domestic supply of affordable, reliable and clean energy,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. “I’m so pleased to continue to work in partnership with Bruce Power to champion made-in-Ontario and made-in-Canada nuclear technology to power our economy. An unprecedented attack requires a united response that leverages more products made by, for, and in Canada.”
