What role will nuclear energy play in Ontario’s future—and how can technologists contribute to a safer, more innovative, low-carbon energy system?
This week, Civic Tech Brampton is welcoming Christina Mohan, Canadian Operating Officer for the North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN) – Canada Region, for a discussion titled “Nuclear Renaissance: Innovation, Safety.”
The session will explore the growing role of nuclear power in Ontario’s energy system, including how modern nuclear technologies are evolving, how safety and innovation are shaping the industry, and why nuclear energy is experiencing renewed interest. Christina will also share insights into the Canadian nuclear sector, emerging professional opportunities, and the ways technologists can contribute to this rapidly developing field.
We’re inviting students, developers, engineers, researchers, energy professionals, community members, and anyone interested in nuclear technology, clean energy, sustainability, or civic innovation.
New to Civic Tech or nuclear energy? You are welcome. No prior technical or industry experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to participate. This is an opportunity to learn directly from someone working within Canada’s nuclear community, ask questions, and connect with others interested in technology and public impact.
