Latest change: The Bruce Power pressure tubes participant funding page is now closed and shows approved funding results instead of an open application opportunity.
Bruce Power participant funding closed
The Bruce Power pressure tubes participant funding page now shows that the opportunity is closed and funding has been approved, replacing the open application status that previously ran from November 10, 2025 to January 12, 2026. The page now includes a decision section listing approved reimbursement of up to $49,282.50, with awards of $10,062.50 to the Canadian Environmental Law Association, $1,500 to Dr. Frank Greening, and $37,720 to Saugeen Ojibway Nation; the $1,500 award was not claimed. The application instructions, deadline section, and form submission directions are no longer present on the page, so it now functions as a results page rather than an intake page.
