Graduation

We pridefully recognize the graduation of our newest Quality Control Inspectors (QCIs) — all proud Saugeen Ojibway Nation band members.

This milestone reflects not only their personal achievement, but the shared commitment of our team to excellence, safety, and community empowerment.

Over the course of their training, these graduates have demonstrated exceptional skill, attention to detail, and an unwavering dedication to upholding the highest standards. Their contributions will help ensure that nuclear projects are delivered with integrity, technical precision, and the utmost adherence to nuclear safety protocols.

This accomplishment is more than a career step — it’s an investment in the future of our communities, the growth of Indigenous talent in specialized trades, and the continued assurance of quality in one of the most demanding technical environments in the world.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Sarah John, Kenzie Kelterborn, CANDU Energy Inc. and Shoreline Group for their invaluable support in making this achievement possible. Your partnership strengthens our shared vision for a sustainable, community‑driven future.

We couldn’t be prouder of each graduate’s achievement and look forward to see where they will grow from here.
