The Municipality of South Bruce, located south of Owen Sound , held a referendum putting the question to its residents.

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization plans to select a site this year where millions of bundles of used nuclear fuel will be placed in a network of underground rooms connected by cavernous tunnels.

The process for the $26-billion project has already been narrowed down to two sites, Ignace in northern Ontario and South Bruce .

Ignace , between Thunder Bay and Kenora , in July became the first community to make its decision known, as town council voted in favour of a nuclear waste repository at a special meeting.
