More than 100 suppliers sign commitment to put Canada first, strengthening the economy and driving a clean energy future. 2026-09-18 More than 100 suppliers signed a Supplier Commitment to Strengthening Canada's Nuclear Supply Chain Sept. 16 during Bruce Power's Domestic Supply Chain Summit, strengthening their resolve to power Ontario and Canada forward and drive economic growth. The Domestic Supply Chain Summit featured discussions on taking steps to expand Canadian participation in critical infrastructure projects, strengthening domestic manufacturing capacity, and helping businesses succeed in an evolving trade environment. Bruce Power's supplier partners came together to sign the pledge, demonstrating a shared commitment to supporting Canadian jobs, strengthening domestic supply chains, and advancing Canada's long-term economic competitiveness. With trade challenges facing Canada and impacting its economy, Bruce Power asked its suppliers to join its Made-in-Canada approach to standing up for a strong, united Canada by aligning to five key commitments: * Contributing to Bruce Power's 95% Made in Canada commitment by buying from Canadian suppliers wherever possible and ensuring sub-suppliers do the same. * Building its Made in Canada nuclear supply chain by working with Canadian companies to expand its supplier base and do more production in Canada and engaging businesses impacted by tariffs to build their capabilities in the nuclear and electricity supply chains. * Supporting workers impacted by tariff-related job losses through retraining and targeted hiring in collaboration with its union partners. * Developing an integrated strategy to continue to increase spending, infrastructure and other opportunities in the Saugeen Ojibway Nation Territory and the Clean Energy Frontier region. * Undertaking transformation and innovation initiatives with Bruce Power to reduce the cost of electricity and contribute to Canada and Ontario's competitiveness by driving savings on life-extension and new build and ensuring safe, high quality, disciplined and affordable execution. "As President Trump continues to target Canadian workers and our economy, we challenged our nuclear sector and more than 100 companies are stepping up with a pledge to build more here at home," said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. "This is Team Canada in action - strengthening our Made-in-Ontario nuclear supply chain, creating good-paying jobs and keeping investment and manufacturing on Canadian soil. At a time of unprecedented global uncertainty, we are driving Canada's economic sovereignty and ensuring Ontario's historic nuclear expansion creates lasting benefits for workers, businesses and communities." The Domestic Supply Chain Summit took place during the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) two-day event at Bruce Power Sept. 15-16, connecting nuclear suppliers directly with senior leadership, procurement professionals, and end users from utilities. Organized by Bruce Power's Made-in-Canada Council, it supported Bruce Power's broader Canadian at its Core commitment, which includes leveraging the company's extensive supply chain network to support Canada's economic growth agenda while identifying new opportunities to strengthen domestic capacity and competitiveness. "Bruce Power is fully committed to providing opportunities for Canadian workers, suppliers, Indigenous partners and ratepayers," said James Scongack, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice-President, Operational Services, Bruce Power. "Our made-in-Canada nuclear industry has long been a world leader and there's an exciting future ahead." It also aligned with the federal government's Invest Canada Summit, Sept. 14-15 in Toronto, highlighting the importance of private-sector investment and collaboration in advancing Canada's economic priorities. Bruce Power's life-extension program continues to generate significant investment and employment opportunities across Ontario and Canada. Looking ahead, potential opportunities associated with the proposed Bruce C Project would further expand demand for Canadian manufacturing, construction, engineering and technology expertise. Bruce Power's ongoing operations and Life-Extension Program create and sustain approximately 27,000 direct and indirect jobs annually across Ontario and Canada. According to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, the proposed Bruce C Project would contribute nearly $238 billion to Canada's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over its 80-year lifespan, including more than $217 billion to Ontario's GDP. Bruce C would support an average of 18,900 jobs annually during construction and more than 6,700 jobs annually during operations, creating long-term careers in trades, engineering, manufacturing, technology, and skilled professions.
