Participant Funding opportunity updated to Western Waste Management Facility

The participant funding opportunity changed from Canadian Nuclear Laboratories’ Douglas Point Waste Facility to Ontario Power Generation’s Western Waste Management Facility, with a new $200,000 funding cap and March 25 to June 16, 2026 application window.

The main funding opportunity now shown is Ontario Power Generation’s application to renew its licence for the Western Waste Management Facility, replacing the Douglas Point Waste Facility opportunity. The visible program details also show a $200,000 maximum amount and an application period from March 25 to June 16, 2026. The participant funding guidance was rewritten to include updated who can apply, eligible and ineligible applicants, eligible expenses, and how to apply instructions, while the application form and related terms pages were also retitled or relinked to the current program materials. The legacy Douglas Point hearing and application-form documents remain available separately, but the current opportunity content now points to the broader open program.
