Today, marking an important step in ensuring the ongoing safe and secure management of these nuclear by-products in Canada, the NWMO announced the selection of the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation-Ignace area as the site for Canada’s deep geological repository (DGR) for high-level nuclear by-products. This follows over a decade of engagement between the NWMO and potential host communities and votes by Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation (WLON) and the Township of Ignace, Ontario in favour of pursuing next steps to host the DGR.
