Seven Actions

Say NO to the Transportation and Burial of Nuclear Waste

Show your opposition. Display a lawn or window sign expressing your opposition to nuclear waste transportation and burial. Purchase and wear a t-shirt.

Sign active petitions. Active petitions will be posted on this site.

Share your concern and opposition. Let others know that you are concerned and share your views and information. Write a letter to the Editor of your local or regional newspaper or contribute an article to your local newsletter. Call CBC Talkback to comment on a story or to connect the issue of nuclear waste with other regional news stories (train derailment, highway closures, other nuclear related stories).

Pass a resolution in your local, church or neighbourhood organization opposing the transportation and burial of high-level nuclear waste. Ask other organizations to pass a resolution.  Ask your municipality to pass a resolution. Send a copy of each resolution to info@nuclearfreenorth.ca to be added to the list.

Organize a meeting to learn more and share information about nuclear waste transportation and burial. We the Nuclear Free North  and others can provide speakers, materials, videos and action ideas.

Meet with your MP and MPP.  Raise the issue, share information, ask them to take an action, and press them for their position: Do they support Northern Ontario becoming the dumping ground for all of Canada’s high-level radioactive waste? Do they believe northerners should share already dangerous roads with multiple truck carrying nuclear waste every day for over fifty years?

Hold or join public events and solidarity actions. Watch our Facebook page  or sign up to our e-news for updates, and plan solidarity actions (e.g. walks, rallies) in your community.
