Pioneering New Nuclear in Atlantic Canada convenes senior leaders from provincial and federal governments, utilities, Indigenous organizations, industry, finance, regulators, and international partners to advance practical pathways for new nuclear deployment. Taking place in Saint John, New Brunswick on June 2–3, 2026, the Forum will examine how new nuclear can strengthen energy security and grid reliability, support industrial competitiveness and decarbonization, and unlock growth opportunities tied to ports, shipping, and critical infrastructure.

The program will feature keynote addresses from provincial and federal leaders, alongside high-level panels on regional energy strategies, Atlantic Canada’s investable new nuclear opportunities, and Canada’s nuclear leadership, including lessons from Ontario and New Brunswick. A dedicated session will explore the role of nuclear in supporting energy security for defence and the maritime economy.

The Forum will also look outward, with discussions on the North American clean energy future, cross-border cooperation with U.S. partners primary New England and Southeast regions, and transatlantic partnerships that can strengthen supply chains, investment pathways, and technology collaboration.

Designed as a day-and-a-half, outcomes-oriented gathering, the Forum will prioritize actionable dialogue, partnerships, and next steps to move from policy ambition to investable projects.
