A region in northern Ontario has been chosen as the site to hold Canada's nuclear waste in a deep geological repository.
The Nuclear Waste Management Organization announced its decision today, saying the people of both the town of Ignace and Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation have demonstrated their willingness to move forward.
The process to select a site for the $26-billion project began in 2010 with 22 potential locations and was eventually narrowed down to two finalists in Ontario.
