Warden Glen McNeil Receives Community Visionary Award From The Southwestern Ontario Isotope Coalition
by Bob Montgomery
Huron County Warden Glen McNeil was presented with the Southwestern Ontario Isotope Coalition's Community Visionary Award at last week's county council meeting.
This inaugural award recognizes a partner of the Southwestern Ontario Isotope Coalition who demonstrates unwavering support for the isotope industry, values the power of relationships, and fosters collaboration amongst SOIC partners. In presenting the award Nuclear Innovation Institute President and CEO and SOIC Co-Chair Jessica Linthorne said Warden McNeil had been steadfast in the early development of the coalition through both his role as Warden and his role as Chair for the Western Ontario Wardens Caucus. “He has amplified SOIC advocacy efforts and is helping us build a brighter tomorrow.”
McNeil says he was very privileged to receive the inaugural Community Visionary Award from the Southwestern Ontario Isotope Coalition. “The Southwestern Ontario Isotope Coalition is so important in cancer treatment for the benefit of those who find themselves in need of this.” “And Bruce Power is going to double the production of isotopes and they're distributed world-wide for the benefit of others.” McNeil also points out that Bruce Power and the Nuclear Inovation Institute are leaders in isotope production for the world
