AtkinsRéalis, a world-class engineering services and nuclear company with offices around the world, welcomes Dewar Industrial Services as a new ambassador in support of the Canadians for CANDU campaign.
Dewar Industrial Services is a third-generation company deeply embedded in Canada’s nuclear story. Since the 1960s, they have played a critical role in building, maintaining, and extending the life of Ontario’s nuclear fleet. Their experience spans every major site in the province, including Bruce, Darlington, and Pickering. Whether supporting scaffold and infrastructure at Bruce A, executing coatings and blasting at Pickering A, or delivering auxiliary systems at Darlington, Dewar Industrial Services has consistently been recognized by the industry for their leadership in health, safety, quality, and execution.
The Canadians for CANDU campaign was launched on February 28, 2024, and is proudly supported by organizations including organized labour, supply chain, nuclear medicine, education, and Indigenous Canadian organizations. Spearheaded by Co-Chairs the Right Honourable Jean Chrétien and former Ontario Premier Mike Harris, the campaign promotes the deployment of CANDU® nuclear technology at home and abroad in support of Canadian and global efforts to reach net-zero emissions.
“I would like to thank Dewar Industrial Services for their leadership in Canada’s world class nuclear sector, and their support for CANDU technology,” said Joe St. Julian, President, Nuclear, AtkinsRéalis. “This growing movement can position Canada as a global clean energy champion, while promoting a domestic nuclear industry that Canadians can be proud of.”
“CANDU isn’t just a technology—it’s part of our legacy. Dewar has proudly supported Ontario’s nuclear fleet for over six decades, beginning with construction and continuing through maintenance, refurbishment, and decommissioning. We’ve delivered more than $500 million in nuclear projects in just the past decade alone. Our teams understand the risks, the stakes, and the standards—because we helped build them. With a proven track record in safety, quality, and performance, CANDU represents both our history and our future in powering Canada safely and sustainably,” says Cameron Dewar, President of Dewar Industrial Services.
