MLT Aikins is pleased to announce its participation in the first annual CNA WEST conference, hosted by the Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) and taking place from October 20–22 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The event, which marks the first time that the CNA has established a major conference outside of Ottawa, will tackle the key challenges that the Prairie provinces face in their adoption and expansion of nuclear power. Topics will include workforce development, regulatory frameworks, funding mechanisms and community engagement, with a particular focus on Indigenous partnerships, recognizing their essential role in resource development.
Our team of energy lawyers, including Erin Eccleston, Brady Chapman, Scott Masson, Jonathan Troyer, Jeremy Barber and Jeremie Roussel will be attending the event both on the floor and at our tradeshow booth and will be available to offer legal insights into uranium mining, procurement and construction agreements, nuclear technology and contracting, nuclear financing, transportation and disposal of nuclear waste, Indigenous participation, ownership and duty to consult. MLT Aikins is also a proud sponsor of the conference, serving as the host sponsor of the morning networking break on October 22.
The MLT Aikins energy practice group brings together skills and knowledge from some of Western Canada’s top corporate and commercial, Indigenous, mergers and acquisitions, finance, regulatory and environmental lawyers to drive your transaction or project forward to completion.
Our lawyers have been exploring the opportunities and obstacles involved in uranium and nuclear power generation in Canada for decades, including the recent rise of small modular reactors (SMRs). We help clients address the regulatory, commercial and construction considerations within the nuclear sector and advise on various matters relating to uranium mining, construction and operation of nuclear facilities; regulation and the distribution, sale and consumption of nuclear energy; disposal of nuclear waste; and in disputes relating to these matters.
The Canadian Nuclear Association has been the national voice of the Canadian nuclear industry since 1960. Working with members and all communities of interest, the CNA promotes the industry nationally and internationally, works with governments on policies affecting the sector and endeavours to increase awareness and understanding of the value nuclear technology brings to the environment, economy and daily lives of Canadians.
