Bruce Power will conduct an emergency response exercise early next month.
In a release, Bruce Power says Exercise Huron Endeavour, scheduled to take place October 4-6, will test its emergency response capabilities alongside the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Health Canada, Ontario’s Provincial Emergency Operations Centre and the communities of Kincardine and Saugeen Shores. An on-site emergency scenario will be run, with over 300 Bruce Power employees taking part, along with nearly 1,000 provincial and municipal participants.
“The simulation allows the company to test emergency preparedness and response procedures, while at the same time coordinating with outside agencies and municipalities. Huron Endeavour is the fourth installment of these large scale exercises. Bruce Power also participated in emergency exercises named Huron Resilience in 2019, Huron Resolve in 2016, and Huron Challenge in 2012,” the release shared.
“Bruce Power’s emergency response organization, which includes members from all areas of our business, is constantly training to ensure that we are prepared and to uphold our number one value of safety first,” said Jennifer Edey, Senior Vice-President, Operational Services and Business Development. “These full-scale, integrated emergency response exercises give us an opportunity to collaborate with community partners and external stakeholders ensure our people, our site, the public and our communities remain safe and secure.”
