Share Your Feedback On Our Nuclear Power Project
We’re in a multi-year planning phase to see if nuclear power from small modular reactors could be a good fit for Saskatchewan and we want to hear from you!
ENGAGE WITH USEngagement with the public, communities, customers, stakeholders and Indigenous peoples is a critical part of the planning phase for the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) project.
Engaging with You
In 2023, we reached 3,000 people in 24 communities across the province through. workshops, drop-ins and pop-ups. We’ve engaged with more than 100 First Nations and Métis locals at Indigenous sessions.
To find future engagement opportunities, check out our SMR Engagement Schedule.
What We’ve Heard
We’ve created reports summarizing our engagement sessions and the feedback we’ve heard. This includes sessions with the public, municipal leaders and various Indigenous communities. These reports showcase the different perspectives that shape this project. We’re using the feedback we’ve received to help inform our approach during the project planning phase. Check out the summaries below of what we’ve heard so far.
Public and Municipal Engagement Reports
The feedback gathered from engagement sessions with the public and municipal leaders have been made into summary reports. This input is crucial in shaping our project planning, and ensuring we move forward with a well-informed and inclusive approach. Check out the summaries from the engagement sessions below.
Indigenous Engagement
We’ve worked with several Indigenous partners to co-design and hold engagement sessions with members from Indigenous communities across the province. The feedback gathered from these sessions have been made into summary reports, allowing us to share the valuable perspectives of our province’s Indigenous community. This input is crucial in shaping our project planning, and ensuring we move forward with a well-informed and inclusive approach. Check out the summaries from the engagement sessions below.
- May 2023 - Métis Nation of Saskatchewan
- February 2022 - Métis Nation of Saskatchewan (Virtual)
- September 2021 – First Nation Power Authority

Your Top Questions
We've highlighted the top 5 questions we're asked when it comes to nuclear power from SMRs.
How do Small Modular Reactors work?
Good question! Check out the video below to see how it all works.
How much will it cost?
Cost means a lot to you. That’s why evaluating cost and risks is an important part of developing nuclear in the province. The project must be competitively priced against other reliable, non-emitting power options available in the 2030s to proceed. Small modular reactors have strong potential to be a competitive option.
What's the plan for managing waste?
We’ll follow all regulations from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. For more information on what that means, visit our managing waste page.
What about Indigenous participation?
We’re committed to ongoing, meaningful engagement with First Nations and Métis citizens of Saskatchewan. We’ve heard about the importance of protecting mother earth and future generations as we build the future power system. We’ve also heard that Indigenous participation as equity partners in the project, workforce training, and supply chain opportunities is key. For more information, check out the video below.
How much consideration are you giving to renewables?
To get to net zero, we’re considering all supply options. Curious about what options exist? Check out the Understanding our Future Supply Mix video.
