How does the NWMO consult with Canadians?
The NWMO has an ongoing dialogue with Canadians. In its initial study, it discussed expectations with a wide range of individuals and communities of interest, seeking input on how to shape its consultation process. Then it used a variety of established and innovative techniques to explore the fundamental ethical, social and economic, as well as technical and scientific issues that were identified. The final phase of the study was an evaluation of approaches building on the organization’s evolving understanding of the issues.
