As the year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on the past and plan for the future.
The past year has been tumultuous given all of the political uncertainty on a national and international scale, but here in the Clean Energy Frontier Region of Bruce, Grey and Huron Counties, we’re putting our best foot forward contribute to Canada’s position as a clean energy and medical isotopes superpower.
In fact, the work Bruce Power, its people and its partners have done in 2025 is setting the table for exciting opportunities to see our communities, region, the province and the country thrive for decades to come.
In a time that energy security is top of mind, Ontario is leading the way with nearly 60 per cent its electricity coming from nuclear, roughly half of that from the Bruce site. The private-sector investments into Bruce Power’s Life-Extension Program and Major Component Replacement project will ensure Ontario’s nuclear advantage continues well into the future and 2025 saw record performance as the Unit 3 and 4 MCR outages progressed.
Bruce Power is proudly Canadian-owned, investing 95 per cent of its spending within Canada and fueling economic growth through a vast supply chain. The company’s Clean Energy Frontier initiative strengthens local communities, while our partnership with the Saugeen Ojibway Nation advances reconciliation and creates shared prosperity.
Refurbishing Bruce Power’s units also ensures a stable supply of cancer-fighting medical isotopes to meet growing demand for patients and health care around the world. In 2025, Bruce Power saw its largest harvest of cobalt-60 in more than 40 years of production, and more than double the production of lutetium-177 through innovation to help with Ontario’s goal of doubling isotope output by 2030.
All of these successes in 2025 are helping drive economic growth in the region and across Ontario, while also providing new opportunities in our municipalities and Indigenous communities, including the Gamzook’aamin aakoziwin partnership and Community Development Fund with Saugeen Ojibway Nation.
Bruce Power, its supplier partners and employees place great value in making our communities a better place for everyone and we were privileged to donated millions to worthy initiatives in 2025 with a focus on health and wellness, youth development, minimizing environmental impacts, community engagement and Indigenous youth development, cultural, recreational and educational programming.
Bruce Power and its Supplier Partners donated $327,000 to local holiday initiatives across Bruce, Grey and Huron counties and in partnership with its employees, the United Way Bruce Grey and the community at large, raised $55,000 supporting 19 toy drives and hamper programs. An additional $2,000 was donated to each of 38 local food banks, to help offset the increasing impact of food insecurity.
As we close out 2025, count your blessings and be sure to give to those in need if you’re able.
