SNC-Lavalin (TSX: SNC) is pleased to announce its wholly-owned subsidiary Candu Energy Inc., has recently reached five-year collective agreements with the Society of Professional Engineers & Associates (SPEA). SPEA’s two bargaining units represent engineers, scientists, technicians and technologists.

These agreements, ratified by SPEA members on March 23, 2017 provide long-term stability for Candu Energy’s workforce.

“With an order book that includes life extension projects for Ontario Power Generation, Bruce Power and Nucleoeléctrica Argentina Sociedad Anónima (NA-SA), we are pleased to reach this mutually agreeable contract,” said Preston Swafford, President & CEO, Candu Energy Inc. “It sets the stage for us to continue to grow our share of the nuclear market in Canada and abroad.”

China is looking closely at CANDU technology for its ability to reuse spent fuel from other reactor types, and NA-SA is considering building a new CANDU unit. Discussions are also underway with utilities in Romania and the United Kingdom.

These agreements are some of the longest SPEA has ratified with their employer
