Advisory Councils
The successful work of the CNA depends on regular and direct engagement with our members and partners, primarily through advisory councils, including the Indigenous Advisory Council, Waste Council, Public Affairs Advisory Council, and Regulatory Affairs Advisory Council.
If you are a CNA member and are interested in participating in the work of the association, please get in touch at membership@cna.ca
Indigenous Relations Council
The mandate of the Indigenous Relations Council (IRC) is to provide advice to the CNA staff and Board of Directors on matters related to the relationship between Indigenous peoples, the nuclear sector and their various industry activities. The purpose is to help the CNA, and the nuclear sector overall, develop and build relationships with Indigenous peoples across Canada, improve the association and sector’s understanding of Indigenous perspectives as they relate to various nuclear issues and developments, and help the CNA and its members advance their reconciliation journeys.

Council Members
Waste Council
The Nuclear Waste Council’s initial mandate is the coordination and collaboration of the nuclear industry’s public affairs and communications approach to waste. This is a critical topic of discussion and can pose a major challenge to the sector if there is misalignment. The Council’s purpose is to facilitate discussion and dialogue amongst industry Senior Executives and to gather outputs and deliverables from other waste working groups that will help develop and drive the industry’s overall strategy.

This includes monitoring and identifying emerging issues of importance to the industry and advise on the effectiveness of strategies developed to address those issues and providing advice and guidance on CNA efforts to assure a systematic and coordinated flow of information, and exchange of effective policy, government relations and communications strategies and techniques, within the nuclear industry.

The Regulatory Affairs Advisory Committee (RAAC) is responsible for advising CNA management on regulatory affairs issues that are of concern to CNA members and to the nuclear industry in general. The RAAC works to identify and prioritize regulatory affairs issues that are of concern to the industry, develop industry positions and provide guidance on their solution; and facilitate the dissemination of the information to CNA member and governmental policy makers on regulatory affairs issues of concern to the nuclear industry.
