Photo by Gerard Creces Bumped up I Public To Holmesville u School student Jamie Willis, all else is a blur as he lunges for a dig during Saturday's vol- leyball tournament at Goderich District Collegiate Institute. The tournament was made up of teams of elementary school students from the weekly volleyball clin- ic held at 'the high school. In 2008, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) initiated a dialogue with interested organizations and individuals on important principles and elements for a fair process to identify an informed and willing community to host a deep geological repository for the safe containment and isolation of Canada's used nuclear fuel for the long term. Guided by this input, we have developed a discussion document 5 outlining a Proposed Process for ' Selecting a Site. The discussion document describes the It f project that will involve the establishment of a deep geological repository and an y " associated centre of expertise. It reviews scientific and technical requirements that will guide selection of an appropriate site to ensure safety. It describes implementation of the project through a partnership with an informed, willing community, to foster well-being and sustainability. And it outlines proposed steps through which interested communities would be able to Team more as they consider potential interest in hosting this project. We invite you to review the discussion document, and share your thoughts on whether this proposed process is appropriate, and what changes may need to be made. We invite and welcome you to an upcoming information session in your region. Your comments will assist the NWMO in refining and confirming an open, fair and inclusive Process for Selecting a Site for this national infrastructure project. i}i: 'f 1'r1't 1!1T:I .1 .,v.?: f.• tt: Date May 19 May 20 London Time : 2-9 p.m. Brockton 2-9 p.m. May 21 Toronto ` 2-9 p.m. Delta London ArmoOries Hotel 325 Dundas SL, London, ON N6B 1T9 Tel: 519.679.6111 Walkerton Community Centre 290 Durham St. West, PO Box 850.
