The Port Hope Community Health Concerns Committee is inviting residents to attend the fourth event in its public meeting series titled Nuclear Issues in Port Hope: Past, Present, Future.
The meeting will take place Monday, March 9, 2026, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Port Hope Recreation Centre, Room 2, located at 62 McCaul Street.
According to organizers, discussion will focus on two primary topics: an update on public comments submitted to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada regarding Ontario Power Generation’s proposed new nuclear development at Wesleyville, and strategies to strengthen community participation during the ongoing federal remediation of historic radioactive waste in Port Hope.
The volunteer committee, formed in 1995, has previously hosted experts including Dr. Gordon Edwards of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility and representatives from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance as part of its public education efforts.
The group notes that Port Hope is currently in the midst of a multi-billion-dollar federal remediation project addressing low-level radioactive waste across the municipality.
A fifth public meeting has also been scheduled for April 29, featuring Theresa McClenaghan, Executive Director of the Canadian Environmental Law Association, who will speak on the legal framework guiding decision-making related to the Wesleyville proposal.
Additional information and background materials are available at the committee’s website.
