Engaging at Every Stage: Shaping the Project Together

June 20, 2025

At Energy Alberta, public engagement isn’t a checkbox – it is the foundation of how we work. We are committed to open, honest dialogue and building lasting relationships rooted in respect and trust.

From planning through to operations, we will engage early and often to understand community interests, meet or exceed regulatory expectations and ensure we’re a responsible, respectful neighbour. Community feedback helps shape every step of the way.

Focused Dialogue: Targeted Workshops & StakeholderSessions

Our plans include hosting focused workshops and meetings tailored to specific audiences that are designed for deeper conversations with local stakeholders. These sessions provide an opportunity to explore specific aspects of the project, engage in meaningful dialogue and gather valuable feedback, input and ideas.​

Open to All: Public Information Sessions

Our public information sessions are open forums where anyone can learn about the proposed project, key milestones, timelines and next steps.These events give residents the chance to engage directly with project leads, ask questions and voice opinions in an open and respectful environment.

In Your Community: Events & Kiosks

Attending community events is a vital part of our engagement strategy. We will meet people where they are – out and about, at local festivals and gatherings. Our team will offer a friendly, informal way to learn about the project, chat with our team and share your thoughts. Building relationships starts with showing up - and we are proud to do just that.

Energy Alberta’s Commitment to Indigenous Engagement

We believe that meaningful engagement with Indigenous Nations and Communities is not a one-time event – it is a continuous journey built on trust, transparency and respect. We are committed to listening, learning and ensuring Indigenous voices actively shape our decisions. By fostering open and ongoing dialogue, we honour the rights, values and knowledge systems of Indigenous Peoples, and recognize that these must be central to every stage of our project. Engagement with Indigenous Nations and Communities is being developed in collaboration with community members to ensure they are reflective of community protocols and cultural practices.

Public Participation in the Impact Assessment Process

At the heart of any strong impact assessment is the voice of the public and Indigenous People. In addition to the engagement Energy Alberta is directly undertaking, the Government of Canada also wants to engage with you through the impact assessment process.

To support these efforts, the Impact Assessment Agency ofCanada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission have drafted a PublicParticipation Plan that outlines the specific ways the public will be engaged throughout the impact assessment process.  Examples of activities include: various public comment periods, public hearings, information sessions, and posting important documents to the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry.

The Government of Canada is currently looking for your feedback on this plan to help ensure what they propose works for you.  Visit the Peace River NuclearPower Project webpage on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry (REF89430) to share your thoughts on how you would like to be engaged throughout the impact assessment process.
