Municipal Nuclear Navigation Hub

Municipal and regional governments that host — or are considering hosting — nuclear facilities play a unique and long-term role in Canada’s nuclear sector. These communities support nationally significant infrastructure while managing responsibilities related to emergency preparedness, land-use planning, municipal services, and public communication.

This website serves as a Municipal Nuclear Navigation Hub. It was developed to provide municipal elected officials and staff with clear, structured access to information about Canada’s nuclear governance framework.

Content has been curated from authoritative public sources and organized through a municipal lens to help communities:

• Understand how nuclear regulation works
• Clarify federal and provincial roles
• Navigate lifecycle and emergency planning considerations
• Access reliable reference materials
• Stay informed about international cooperation and collaboration

This Hub is designed as a living reference tool and will be updated regularly as Canada’s nuclear landscape evolves.
