Engagement
CNL is committed to listening to, learning from and being accountable to the people and communities in which we work and live.
We understand that it is our duty to recognize past wrongs and move forward with Indigenous Nations in a meaningful way. As an organization, we are working hard to achieve this, which includes building relationships based on mutual respect and trust with First Nation and Métis communities, and other Indigenous Peoples around our sites, including the NPD site.
We recognize that this takes time, and we are committed to doing this the right way.
CNL has an ongoing Public Information Program to generate dialogue about activities at CNL-managed sites and the potential effects of these activities on the public, Indigenous Peoples and on the environment.
We use a variety of communication products and outreach activities to ensure that Indigenous Peoples, local communities and members of the public have up-to-date and relevant information about the proposal to decommission NPD through in-situ disposal. As part of our public engagement efforts, CNL has conducted more than 25 public information sessions, 50 presentations and site tours, 15 community events and 21 webinars related to Indigenous and stakeholder interests on the NPD Closure Project. Through these engagement efforts, interested communities and organizations have had an opportunity to comment directly on the project and get their questions answered.
