Bruce Power reopens its visitor’s centre today after a hiatus due to COVID-19.
The nuclear operator says in a release, it took the opportunity to update and rejuvenate its visitors centre and exhibit hall to enhance the experience for visitors.
Bruce Power says, “Even if you’ve been here in the past, you’re going to want to see our new displays on the nuclear electricity process, our production of life-saving medical isotopes, our refurbishment projects, and our commitment to safety and the environment, as well as the changes to our site as we progress with our Life-Extension Program.”
They will also offer their summer Site Bus Tour Program, providing visitors with a look at the site from inside the gates.
In June, tours will be offered Monday to Friday, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., to guests who pre-register using the booking site at www.brucepower.com/bustours.
In July and August, they will provide three tours a day (10 and 11 a.m., and 1 p.m.), Monday-Friday, except statutory holidays on July 1 and Aug. 1. Some days are unavailable due to special events, and masks are required on the bus for all June tours.
Bruce Power says, it is recommended that participants arrive to the Visitors’ Centre 30 minutes before their scheduled site bus tour to watch the welcome film in the air-conditioned theatre and complete required security checks.
The bus then departs for a one-hour guided tour of the Bruce site.
Bruce Power says it also welcomes larger groups such as service clubs, school and church groups, and other organizations. They say, in order to arrange a site tour for larger groups, please call us at 519-361-7777 or email BNPDVisitorCentre@brucepower.com.
