KINCARDINE, ON – The Kincardine and District Chamber of Commerce and the Municipality of Kincardine welcomed a delegation from Kenya on Friday, June 5, 2026, as part of an international knowledge-sharing visit focused on nuclear energy and community development.

The delegation, comprised of government and industry representatives, travelled to the region to learn about Bruce Power and gain firsthand insight into the experiences of local municipalities and businesses that support one of the world's largest operating nuclear generating facilities. The visit included a tour of the Bruce Power site on Thursday, followed by a community tour and discussions with Chamber of Commerce and municipal representatives on Friday.

As Kenya advances its nuclear energy program, delegates were particularly interested in understanding the broader community impacts of hosting a nuclear facility. Discussions focused on how nuclear energy can support local economic development, workforce growth, housing, infrastructure investment, small business success, and long-term community prosperity.

"It is exciting to welcome visitors from around the world to learn about the positive impact the nuclear industry has had on our community and local businesses," said Jaye Boyer, President of the Kincardine & District Chamber of Commerce and owner of Harbour Rose Boutique. "Kincardine has built a strong and vibrant community alongside Bruce Power, and we are proud to share our experiences with others exploring a nuclear future."

Mayor Craig noted that Kincardine's experience is attracting increasing international attention.

"As interest in nuclear energy and energy-intensive industries continues to grow around the world, communities are looking for real-world examples of how to successfully host and benefit from these major investments," said Mayor Craig. "The Municipality of Kincardine has decades of experience working alongside Bruce Power, and we are proud to share the lessons we've learned about economic growth, community development, and building strong partnerships."

The visit reflects the growing global interest in nuclear energy as countries seek reliable, low-carbon sources of electricity and highlights the important role host communities play in supporting the success of large-scale energy projects.
