The City of Prince Albert and the Province of Saskatchewan are poised for growth. There is no question that this new growth will require energy - and lots of it.
The question of the day in Prince Albert is whether or not the citizens are willing to have a nuclear reactor built nearby. A Public Opinion Poll regarding the proposed nuclear power facility in the Prince Albert region was conducted by DEMAR Consulting Associates Inc. on behalf of the City of Prince Albert, the results of which are posted on the City of Prince Albert webpage and can be viewed here.
The Province of Saskatchewan has been a player in the nuclear energy arena for many years, exporting uranium from the northern region to eastern Canada and the U.S. Today, the Provincial Government and City Council are working together with Bruce Power to explore the further development of nuclear energy in the region.
A group of concerned area residents have banded together to ask the local and provincial governments to provide clear and transparent information about nuclear energy and other options that this region might explore. RPIC (Renewable Power - the Intelligent Choice) is focused on opening lines of communication between government, industry and area residents to assess the health and safety risks, economic impacts and tax repercussions of nuclear energy.
We are also striving to provide answers to the same questions aimed at alternative and renewable energy sources to educate the public on energy options.
We invite you to take a browse around our site to learn more about nuclear energy and renewable power options. Please contact us for more information about RPIC, and find out how you can join us! |
