Bruce Power's M.C.R. office and training complex opens

Bruce Power's new Major Component Replacement office complex and training centre hs officially opened.

The building is located off Sutton Street in Kincardine and will directly support the Bruce Power Major Component Replacement project.

The complex features a two-storey office area - including office space; classrooms and amenities for the occupants;   a one-storey, high-bay shop area to host training; room for 330 office workers and space for an additional 150 in the shop space; and parking, amenities, and facilities for about 500 employees.

The training facility is part of the Bruce Power Life-Extension Program, which started in January 2016.

With the Unit 6 MCR set to begin in early-2020, Bruce Power is upgrading or building new facilities both on site and off site, as it prepares for the influx of contractors and supplier partners who will be part of the project.

For Kincardine Mayor Anne Eadie, the new facility is an extension of the ongoing collaboration between the municipality and Bruce Power.

"Kincardine is proud to host Bruce Power’s Major Component Replacement Facility, which will bring more people to our area and benefit local businesses," the Mayor said.   "The Municipality of Kincardine continues to work closely with Bruce Power and its nuclear supplier partners as they prepare for the MCR Project."
