"Ontario's nuclear facili- ties provide reliable and clean electricity. Innovation within the industry is a key driver of jobs and economic growth throughout the prov- ince," said Charles Sousa, Ontario's Minister of Finance, who was in attend- ance at the event. "Improv- ing affordability and com- petitiveness is also key and that is why our government is committed to the refur- bishment of the Bruce Power and Darlington units as part of Ontario's Long Term Energy Plan."

"I'm proud of the role our local industry is playing in providing clean, afforda- ble and reliable nuclear energy for Ontario now and in the future." The BRIMS automated tooling system is the result of a multi -company collab- oration involving Bruce Power, ATS Automation, MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd., BWXT Canada Ltd., Candu Energy Inc. a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Canada. "We are proud to be part of this important initiative for Bruce Power, a valued ATS customer," said Anthony Caputo, CEO, ATS Automation.

Ontario's Long - Term Energy Plan is count- ing on Bruce Power's eight units to supply clean, relia- ble electricity for decades to come. "This is an example of the nuclear industry's incredi- ble innovation and Bruce Power is proud to be at the forefront of this world-class technology to ensure we continue to deliver clean, affordable, reliable electric- ity to Ontario families and business," said Duncan Hawthorne, President and CEO Bruce Power. "This new tooling builds on les- sons learned from years of operation allowing for more effective execution of our inspection and mainte- nance activities that we carry -out on a planned basis through maintenance outages." "The city of Cambridge congratulates all the compa- nies involved in this success- ful project," said Doug Craig, Mayor of Cambridge. "Our community is proud of the role businesses like ATS Automation and BWXT Can- ada play in the global nuclear energy supply chain and it's encouraging to see what is possible when Ontario -based companies collaborate." Protect yourself from mosquito bites Huron County Health Unit Summer is here and the mosquitoes are out. The Huron County Health Unit reminds the public to protect themselves from mosquito bites. West Nile virus can spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. "The easiest way to prevent infection is to prevent mos- quito bites, especially during dawn and dusk when many mosquito species are most active," says Public Health Inspector Keshia Hackett. Here are some simple pre- cautions to help protect yourself from bites: wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts, long pants and closed -toe shoes; use an insect repellant that has been approved by Health Canada, and always read and follow the manufactur- er's instructions; check the screens in doors and win- dows to ensure there are no tears or holes; disturb or eliminate any mosquito breeding grounds on your property. Dump any stand- ing water in places such as bird baths, buckets, old tires, pet water dishes and gutters. For most people, the risk of getting infected with West Nile virus is low. However people can be at greater risk of serious health effects if they are over the age of 50, have a chronic disease such as cancer or diabetes, or have weakened immune systems. Most people infected with West Nile virus do not expe- rience any symptoms. Many of the people that do show symptoms will experience mild illness with symptoms such as: fever, headache, body aches, fatigue, skin rash, occasionally vomiting and nausea. If you experience any of these symptoms, speak with your health care provider. For more information on West Nile virus and ways to protect yourself, visit www. huronhealthunit.ca.
