Making a Difference

Cameco, Orano and northern communities have a long history of working together and collaborating for mutual prosperity. 2020 was no exception. In fact, last year we all faced significant challenges – the dynamics of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, continued weak uranium markets and care and maintenance of McArthur River/Key Lake and Rabbit Lake operations.

Cameco is pleased to announce that twenty northern students are the recipients of the Cameco Northern Saskatchewan Scholarship for 2021. This scholarship program is one of the ways that Cameco seeks to make a positive difference in northern Saskatchewan.

We've still got a ways to go and each of our regions are at different stages of the pandemic, but there is hope with the vaccines that have arrived. Some of our northern Saskatchewan employees have already received it, including community liaisons Rick Robillard from Black Lake and Darlene Gazandlare from Wollaston/Hatchet Lake.

Strong relationships between northern Saskatchewan communities and the uranium industry are important to our mutual prosperity. Cameco and Orano have been partnering with communities in this region for decades.

Over the past three years, Cameco and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB), have continued to collaborate to advance the LLRIB’s goals for the funding provided under the collaboration agreement signed in 2017.
