Canadian at our Core: Bruce Power contributing more than $13 billion to Canada's economy over the next 18 months, supporting jobs and business here at home when it matters most Kincardine, Ontario, Aug. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bruce Power’s Canadian at our Core commitment is delivering real results when they matter most, creating an economic impact of more than $13.3 billion in the next 18 months, supporting good jobs in Ontario and across the country.

Bruce Power’s Canadian at our Core campaign was launched in 2025 and since then, the company has spent more than $6.6 billion in Canada from January 2025 to June 2026, and will spend an additional $7.7 billion through the end of 2027, supporting Canadian businesses and workers through its operations and Life-Extension Program. This represents over 95 per cent of the company's total spend staying in Canada.

“Canadian at our Core is a key commitment that we value in the decisions we make every day,” said James Scongack, Bruce Power’s Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice-President. “Our people, our skilled trades workforce, our suppliers and our community partners are the foundation of our success. By investing in Canadian talent, supporting local businesses, advancing made-in-Canada innovation and creating opportunities for future generations, we are helping power Ontario, strengthening our economy and delivering lasting benefits for communities across Canada.

“We are proud of the role we play in supporting the country when it matters most."

As a proudly Canadian-owned company and public-private partnership, Bruce Power is committed to providing safe, reliable power to Ontario and cancer-fighting medical isotopes to the global health-care community. It’s a source of pride that more than 95 per cent of Bruce Power’s spend is in Canada and the company encourages its partners to buy local and buy Canadian.

“As President Trump continues to threaten Canadian workers and our economy, Bruce Power, its supplier partners, and our government are stepping up the fight for Canada by keeping 95 per cent of spending in this country,” said Stephen Lecce, Ontario Minister of Energy and Mines. “By investing in Canadian workers, companies and innovation, Bruce Power is keeping jobs and investment here at home as Ontario leads North America's largest nuclear expansion, on-time and on-budget. This is Ontario’s nuclear advantage in action: Canadian technology and ingenuity, built by and for Canadians.”

A strong, united Canada benefits everyone, and Bruce Power has doubled down on its Canadian commitment through five key pillars that are focused on supporting people, businesses, skilled trades, innovation, the economy and health care:

95% Target

Supply Chain partnerships

Buy local in the Clean Energy Frontier region

Reconciliation through action

Isotopes for Hope

The Bruce Power site has been producing sterilization grade cobalt-60 (Co-60) since 1986, medical grade Co-60 since 2019 and lutetium-177 (Lu-177) since 2022 and will continue to support the fight against cancer in Canada and around the world as it works to meet the goal of doubling Canadian isotope production by 2030.

"By sourcing from Canadian businesses and investing in local suppliers, Bruce Power will strengthen the resilience of Ontario’s domestic supply chains and support thousands of highly skilled workers across the province,” said Vic Fedeli, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “We commend them on the initial success of the Canadian at our Core initiative and look forward to seeing this commitment unlock new opportunities for our world-class talent, enhance our economic competitiveness and reinforce Ontario’s leadership in isotope production.”

Those effects are also felt closer to home.

“Bruce Power continues to be a driving force for opportunity in the Clean Energy Frontier region, supporting families, businesses and communities throughout Huron, Bruce and Grey counties,” said Lisa Thompson, MPP for Huron-Bruce and Minister of Rural Affairs. “Through its operations, major projects and partnerships with local suppliers, Bruce Power is creating jobs, growing the regional economy and demonstrating how rural Ontario can lead in clean energy innovation.”
