After nuclear industry lobbying, the Canadian government exempted these projects from a federal environmental impact assessment.\n\n\nPoint Lepreau is located on the shared traditional and unceded territories of the Peskotomuhkati and Wolastoq Nations.\n \n\nThe panels features Indigenous leaders and academic and medical experts as presenters followed by Q&A with registrants.\nPanel:\n\n\nDr. Susan O’Donnell, University of New Brunswick\nIntroduction • moderator\n\n\nChief Hugh Akagi, Peskotomuhkati Nation\nThe Bay of Fundy and Peskotomuhkati peoples\n\n\nDr. Gordon Edwards, Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility\nThe Point Lepreau reactor vs. the experimental reactors for the Bay of Fundy site\n\n\nDr. Dale Dewar, Former Executive Director, Physicians for Global Survival\nChernobyl: What we learned about the health impacts from a nuclear disaster\n\n\nHosted by:\n\nThe RAVEN project at the University of New Brunswick\nCanadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility (CCNR)\nCoalition for Responsible Energy Development in New Brunswick (CRED-NB)\nInternational Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War Canada (IPPNWC)\nNB Media Co-op\nPrevent Cancer Now\nSierra Club Canada Foundation Atlantic Chapter\nSierra Club Maine Chapter\n\n\n\n
