Speak Up: Your Voice Matters on the Proposed Nuclear Waste Burial
Northwestern Ontario is at a crossroads, and your input is needed now more than ever. We The Nuclear Free North is hosting a critical public workshop to discuss the proposed burial of nuclear waste near Dyment and the Revell site.
As the federal review process for the proposed Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for nuclear waste moves forward, this is a vital opportunity for residents of Melgund Township, Dyment, Borups Corners, and surrounding areas to get informed and take action.
Event Details: Public Workshop

Date: Saturday, April 25
Time: 11:00 am to 3:00 pm
Location: Dyment Hall (13 Melgund 3A Road)
Cost: Free to attend

Why Attend?
The current Impact Assessment comment period is a narrow window for the public to voice concerns. This workshop is designed to help you navigate the process effectively. Attendees will:

Learn the Process: Understand the federal Impact Assessment steps and what they mean for our region.
Get Guidance: Find out exactly how to submit your comments before the May 10 deadline.
Brainstorm Topics: Discuss key issues—from environmental safety and water protection to the risks of radioactive waste transportation—to include in your submission.

Take Action Before May 10
The federal government is currently seeking feedback on the draft guidelines that will dictate what the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) must study. This is the time to ensure that the risks to our land, water, and future generations are not overlooked.
“This is one of the most important parts for people to be involved in. The scope of the entire assessment is being set right now.”

The goal is to create a comfortable and informative environment for community members of all backgrounds.

This session comes at an important time, as the assessment process has entered a new phase following the recent decision to proceed with a review panel. Community input will be sought on how the assessment should be carried out and how people can participate effectively.

The upcoming draft Integrated Tailored Impact Statement Guidelines and the draft Public Participation Plan will be central to the discussion. These documents outline what will be studied and how the public can stay engaged throughout the life of the project.

Printed materials will be available at the event and will remain accessible locally after the session, helping ensure that everyone has the opportunity to review and reflect on the information.

Whether you have been following the project closely or are just starting to learn about it, this open house is a great opportunity to get informed and be part of the conversation.

All those interested from Dryden, Ignace, Sioux Lookout and the surrounding area are invited and welcome to attend. And while visiting the community please come check out the Spring Arts Exhibition!

About the Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Project

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (the NWMO) is proposing a new underground deep geological repository system designed to safely contain and isolate used nuclear fuel. Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation (WLON) and the Township of Ignace have been selected as the host communities for the proposed project, which is located 21 kilometres southeast of the WLON and 43 kilometres northwest of the Town of Ignace, Ontario along Highway 17. As proposed, the Deep Geological Repository (DGR) for Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Project would provide permanent storage for approximately 5.9 million bundles of used nuclear fuel. The project is expected to span approximately 160 years, encompassing site preparation, construction, operation and closure monitoring. The project assessment is being conducted in collaboration with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.

April 18: Community Clean Up Day
2026-04-18 10:00 - 13:00 (America/Winnipeg) | Dyment Recreation Hall, 13 Hogan Road, Dyment, Ontario, P0V 1P0, Canada
Spring is here—and it’s time to get our space ready for the season.
Come out and lend a hand on April 18, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. as we clean up the Dyment Recreation Hall and surrounding complex. As the snow melts and construction wraps up, there’s lots to do both inside and out. We’re looking for volunteers to help freshen up the grounds, tidy shared spaces, and bring some pride back to our recreation site after a long winter.
This is a simple, hands-on way to give back and be part of something local. Bring gloves, bring energy, and maybe a friend or two. Every bit of help makes a real difference.
Let’s work together to make the recreation complex clean, welcoming, and ready for the season ahead.
All are welcome. See you there.
