NWMO Aboriginal Policy

Aboriginal Policy

In June 2007, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) was given responsibility for implementing Adaptive Phased Management (APM), Canada's plan for the long-term management of used nuclear fuel.

 

The interests and concerns of Aboriginal peoples have been an integral part of our considerations throughout our work. This began as we conducted the study on options for the long-term management of Canada’s used nuclear fuel and has continued through development of all of our implementation plans for Adaptive Phased Management. Aboriginal and western worldviews and knowledge systems are each unique. However, the interweaving of these two worldviews in the implementation of Adaptive Phased Management can bring opportunities to strengthen this work as we learn from one another.

 

As our work progresses we wish to ensure active and meaningful participation with Aboriginal peoples.

 

We have developed an Aboriginal Policy to guide our work.

 

The development of this Policy has benefited from advice from the NWMO Elders Forum, the NWMO Aboriginal Working Group Niigani, and through our relationships with Aboriginal organizations at the national, provincial and regional levels.
