Crown Investments Corporation Minister Jeremy Harrison will lead a delegation to attend the World Nuclear Symposium in the United Kingdom.
According to a press release, the mission will advance Saskatchewan’s engagement with international jurisdictions with mature nuclear power programs and those actively developing nuclear options.
The delegation will showcase Saskatchewan’s ambitions and strengths in supporting the global declaration to triple nuclear energy worldwide by 2050.
The minister will represent Saskatchewan at a Provincial Energy Ministers’ Panel, hosted by the Canada-UK Chamber of Commerce, to advance shared goals with other Canadian jurisdictions.
Harrison will take part in another panel at the Energy Users Summit during the symposium, which brings together the nuclear sector and energy-intensive industries to build new partnerships.
Harrison will join other Canadian officials to provide an update on Saskatchewan’s nuclear energy program to attendees at the Canadian Nuclear Association-Nuclear Industry Association Forum (CNA-NIA).
Saskatchewan mines 100 per cent of Canada’s uranium and is the second largest uranium producer in the world.
To build nuclear expertise in the region, in May, the University of Saskatchewan hosted the first Canadian National Nuclear Energy Management School in western Canada, a renowned program from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The inaugural national nuclear conference, CNA WEST is coming to Saskatoon October 20-22, 2025, to highlight prairie potential in nuclear development.
The UK mission will run from Sept. 1-6.
