NWMO Aboriginal Policy - Working Draft
Invitation to comment
 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.
As our work progresses we wish to ensure active and meaningful participation with Aboriginal peoples.
We have developed a Draft 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.
We invite you to review and comment on this Working Draft.
Please submit comments to the attention of Pat Patton, Director, Aboriginal Relations.
