Ignace Jumps on Nuclear Waste Band Wagon

Ignace Council has decided to take the next step in becoming a host community for a nuclear waste repository.

Council has voted in favour of entering into a preliminary assessment feasibility study.

The study will determine if Ignace has the potential to meet the detailed requirements for the project.

Mayor Lee Kennard says any decision on becoming a host site won't be made for several years and it will involve the entire community.

The study will begin early next year and it could take up to a year to be completed.
