“These are unprecendented circumstances that have had an impact on all of us and we have all had to adapt to the rapidly evolving situation,” said Dale Clark, vice president of Cameco’s Fuel Services Division. “But what has not changed for us at Cameco is our commitment to the Ontario communities where we live, work and play. We want to help support our communities as we collectively navigate through these trying times.”
