Voices From Our Members

Our members are at the heart of everything we do. Here’s what they have to say about their journey, growth, and experience with us.

  • Trade Missions

    “The strategic value of OCNI’s membership extends well beyond domestic borders. Their international trade missions have opened doors to global markets and connections that were never on our original radar. It’s an incredible resource for any member looking to scale internationally.”
    Hani Al Anid
    Vice President at Calian Group

  • Creating Pathways to Opportunities

    “At that early stage, I saw OCNI as more than just a membership. I saw it as a way to build credibility, develop a client network, and signal to the market that I was serious about being part of the nuclear supply chain.”
    Susan Brissette
    Founder & Principal Consultant, Wild Matriarch Inc

  • Meaningful Events

    “One of OCNI’s key strengths is its ability to bring together utilities, facility operators, engineers, and suppliers. For a specialized manufacturer like MarShield, this engagement reinforces the importance of technical expertise, quality assurance, and collaboration in delivering dependable shielding solutions that protect people, infrastructure, and operations.”
    Walter Silva
    Vice President at Marswell Metal Industries Ltd.

  • “OCNI is very beneficial to the suppliers because people network with each other. They get to see what the industry is about, and it gives you a sense that you’re part of a much bigger system then just yourself and your own daily struggles. So kudos to OCNI. Thank you for doing all you do.”

    Paul McKenna
    ATS Automation. Member since 2006
  • “We just met with one of our previous clients who had helped us with training in the Indigenous groups. Leveraging that has helped us grow our business with Indigenous communities all over Canada. OCNI was part of that connection to bring us together. So OCNI I think is a super useful resource in bringing together different groups, different communities, and learning about what’s out there that you may not know of.“
    Kevin File
    Hatch. Member since 2013
  • “Being between our satellite offices and working offsite we don’t get as much interaction with other people, so it’s just really good to connect, bounce ideas off each other, and helps us make our organization even better.“
    Jordan Jarvis
    Globotech Inc.. Member since 2019
  • “One of the great things about OCNI when we first started, initially, was it was a great gateway in to connecting with the nuclear community, but also with the customers and clients and the utilities, which is a great overall agency and organization to tap in to that gives you that benefit.“
    Darryl Spector
    Promation Nuclear. Member since 2007
  • “It’s a great opportunity to network with other members of OCNI. I think we all learned during the pandemic how much we miss the personal face to face connection. I think it spurs that innovation, collaboration, and builds the friendship that you need to have the trust to work together.“
