- Bruce Power unveiled the Bruce C Project on Jan. 19, 2026, projecting 18,900 jobs and nearly $238-billion GDP over an 80-year span in Kincardine, Ontario.
- The Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Prism analysis found the lifetime GDP projection splits into about $61 billion during construction and over $176 billion during operations, with the project emphasizing a made-in-Ontario supply chain and 95 percent of current spend in Canada.
- Independent analysts estimate more than 10,100 annual full‑time equivalent jobs across Canada, generating about $1 billion in national labour income, with nearly $900 million earned in Ontario.
