The plan includes the following items:
n Two units at Thunder Bay GS are to be
converted to natural gas;
n The Atikokan generating station will be
converted to biomass;
n Two additional units at Nanticoke will be shut
down in 2011; and
n Ontario will continue to grow its hydroelectric
capacity with a target of 9,000 MW by 2018.
The plan also cites the need to modernize units
at Darlington and build new nuclear units on the
Darlington site, and to invest in the continued
operation of Pickering B until 2020.
In an e-mail to staff, OPG President and CEO
Tom Mitchell said, “Ontario’s Long-Term Energy
Ontario’s
Long -Term
Energy Plan
On November 23, the Ontario government
announced its Long-Term Energy Plan that
outlines its approach for maintaining a clean,
modern and reliable provincial electricity
system over the next 20 years.
Plan is essential for sound decision-making, smart
investments, and the reliability of Ontario’s electricity
supply. As Ontario’s largest and most important
electricity generator, OPG is the backbone
supporting the province’s future cleaner energy mix.
We cannot, however, take this role for granted.”
OPG continues to demonstrate its commitment
to delivering value to Ontarians. This will be
especially important in the coming months as the
Long-Term Energy Plan is debated and analysed
by stakeholders and the public.
To obtain a copy of the plan, visit the Ontario
Ministry of Energy’s website at: www.news.

The report cites
the government’s
ongoing commitment
to modernize
Ontario’s nuclear
fleet through

ZERO INJURIES
Winter Driving
Weathering Winter
on the Roads
The roads are icy from freezing rain and the rain is turning
into snow. A car races past you on the roadway and
attempts to stop at a red light ahead. The driver hits an
icy patch, loses control and skids sideways, hitting another
vehicle in the intersection.
Does this scene sound all too familiar? According to the
Infrastructure Health and Safety Association – Transportation
Sector, these incidents can be avoided by recognizing
the following key hazards of winter driving:
1. Poor Traction – Start off slow and easy. Do not spin
your wheels. Consider using winter tires to improve traction.
2. Reduced Ability to Stop – Braking on ice is never easy
and as the temperature rises, it gets even more slippery.
Slow down and increase the braking distance between you
and the vehicle in front of you.
3. Slippery Surfaces – The action of tires spinning on
snowy roads reduces traction, especially at intersections,
curves or hills, so slow down early when approaching
these areas. Asphalt in winter is normally grey-white, so
be suspicious of black or shiny asphalt which may indicate
black ice.
4. Reduced Ability to See and Be Seen – Wipe off your
headlights, windshield and all windows. Run your heater
and defogger before starting out. Use your windshield washer
often and with fluid designed for winter temperatures.
Remember to check with the Ministry of Transportation at
1-800-268-4686 before heading out. If weather conditions
are poor, consider delaying your trip or replacing it with a
conference call.
PENSION PLAN
Cost of Living
Pension Plan 2011 –
Cost of Living Increase
The cost of living increase provided under the OPG
Pension Plan is calculated based on the change in the
Ontario Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the 12-month
period ending in June of the previous year.
The 2011 cost of living increase is 1.6% for OPG’s registered
and supplemental plans, and 0.8% for the executive supplemental
plan. The cost of living increase is prorated if you
retired in 2010 after January 1 and excludes the level income
option amount if you retired before November 1, 2003.

Women in Trades
Women in Trades
Info Sessions
On Saturday, November 27, OPG hosted Women In
Trades career information sessions for high school students
to highlight the career paths available as a skilled trades
professional. This public event was held at the Kipling
Training and Development Centre in Toronto.
The skilled trade sector is expected to be in high demand
in the coming years, largely due to an aging workforce
and a decreased supply of trained candidates. This career
path is often overlooked by many female students. As
OPG strives to create a diverse workforce representative of
the communities we serve, women are seen as a valuable
resource who lack representation within the skilled trades.
“While the benefits of outreach and awareness initiatives
such as this won’t be evident for some time, they are
critical,” explains Rose-Mary Matusiak, Senior Staffing
December is Universal
Human Rights Month
Established by the United Nations on December 10, 1948,
following the Second World War, the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights sets out basic rights essential for all human
beings, regardless of race, religion, age, gender and other
personal characteristics. When signed in 1948, the
Declaration was the first international document to set out a
global goal of human rights, dignity, equity and inclusion.
The Declaration is a cornerstone of the Canadian Human
Rights Act and the Ontario Human Rights Code. The
fundamental principles of these laws recognize the dignity
and worth of every person, and promote understanding and
mutual respect.
At OPG, these laws are important because respecting others
is integral to our work environment. OPG is committed to
fostering a work environment in which all employees are
treated with dignity and respect as outlined in our Code
of Business Conduct. In promoting an inclusive work environment
that values individual differences, and the diverse
backgrounds and experiences of its employees, OPG upholds
the principles contained in applicable human rights
and employment equity legislation. As expressed in OPG’s
Diversity and Human Rights Policy, employees at all levels
of the organization are accountable for promoting an inclusive,
safe and healthy workplace, free of discrimination and
harassment.
For questions about human rights at OPG, contact the Human
Rights and Ombuds Office at ombuds@opg.com, the Senior
Advisor – Diversity at tanya.mushynski@opg.com or your

Consultant. “If we don’t start to explore untapped pools of
talent, we may find ourselves in a significant skilled trades
shortage in the future.”
The event was a great success with approximately 100
young women and their parents attending. Attendees had
the unique opportunity to not only discover the skilled
trades career paths available at OPG, but to also connect
personally with female trades workers and education
representatives from key skilled trades programs across the
province, such as Cambrian College, Durham College and
Mohawk College.

Wildlife Habitat Council
Recognizes OPG’s
Commitment to Biodiversity
OPG currently has 14 sites certified by the WHC for exemplary
wildlife habitat enhancement programs. Five of the 14 sites are
also certified as “Corporate Lands for Learning” which recognizes
community outreach and opportunities for experiential
learning about biodiversity.
This November, the Niagara Plant Group was
selected from 185 sites to receive the WHC’s highest
honour – the Corporate Habitat of the Year Award.
Criteria for this prestigious award includes implementing
long-term measures to protect biodiversity,
involving employees at all levels of the organization
and collaborating with external conservation groups.
Niagara’s partners include the Niagara Peninsula
Conservation Authority, the Niagara Parks Commission,
the Ministry of Natural Resources and
Niagara College.
Additionally, both the Northwest Plant Group
(Kakabeka Falls GS) and Central Hydro Plant Group
(Trent, Moon and Muskoka Rivers) achieved
certification to WHC’s Wildlife at Work program.
All plant groups in Hydro now have certifications
under this program.
Considering the scale and diversity of OPG’s Hydro sites, this is
a significant achievement.
OPG’s Wayne Weller and Tony Van Oostrom receive the Corporate Habitat of the
Year Award on behalf of the Niagara Plant Group (left to right): Scott Kilkenny,
Chariman, Wildlife Habitat Council; Wayne Weller; Tony Van Oostrom; and Bob
Johnson, Wildlife Habitat Council President.
OPG has been committed to biodiversity for many years.
The goal of OPG’s program is to reduce any adverse
effects of operations and demonstrate that we can
co-exist with nature. OPG was one of the first utilities
in North America to formally address biodiversity
conservation and is recognized as a leading authority.
Since the inception of OPG’s Carbon Sequestration and Biodiversity
Management Plan, OPG has planted almost 4.5 million
trees and shrubs. Environment Canada recommends that all
watersheds have at least 30 per cent forest cover to support
wildlife, conserve biodiversity, provide shade and windbreaks,
improve air quality, control runoff and maintain water
quality and quantity. In Ontario, it’s estimated
that one billion trees need to be planted to
achieve this. The Ontario Environmental Commissioner
has recommended a strategy that supports
what OPG has been doing for the past decade.
OPG’s commitment and encouragement
of others “will help raise the
profile and benefits of biodiversity work
across Canadian electrical utilities
and inspire other business sectors to
further recognize the benefits of being
proactive.”

Director of the Canadian Business and
Biodiversity Council

Northwest Thermal employees to prove that we can satisfy that need with Atikokan on
biomass and Thunder Bay on natural gas.”
Safe Station, Safe Community
OPG’s Commitment to Security
Since September 11, 2001, OPG has invested more than $400 million to ensure that its
nuclear stations are safe and secure for staff, communities and for the stability of
Ontario’s electricity system.
“Working with regional, provincial, national and international
law enforcement agencies, our stations utilize sophisticated
security technology and intelligence to keep our stations and
communities safe,” says Paul Nadeau, Vice President of
Nuclear Security.
Examples of OPG’s robust security program include:
Security Clearance: To enter the site, OPG staff must have
valid security clearance and an identification card. An in-depth
security review is completed every five years for all employees
and includes background and police checks. Every employee
must also undergo a three-step security search each time they
enter the protected area of the site.
Visitor Pre-approval: Visitors to OPG’s nuclear stations must
receive prior approval to enter the station and undergo the
three-step security search. They must also
always be accompanied by an authorized
staff member.
On-site Protection: Physical barriers, wire
fencing and additional anti-intrusion
measures protect the site. There is 24/7
monitoring and patrolling by nuclear
security officers. In early 2010, the Pickering Nuclear station
transitioned to an OPG nuclear security response team following
an extensive training period and hand-off from the Durham
Regional Police Service. By the end of 2011, Darlington will
implement its own nuclear security response team. This armed
response presence is a requirement of the Canadian Nuclear
Safety Commission – the national nuclear regulator.
Shown left to right: Yvonne Armstrong, OPG Nuclear Security
Officer; Paul Bruce, Durham Regional Police Service, Nuclear
Security Division; and Allen Chase, OPG Nuclear Security Officer.
“Safety and security are ingrained in OPG’s culture,” says
Nadeau. “As a company, we are absolutely committed to keeping
our employees, our stations and our communities safe and
secure.”

Traveling by foot across Ontario’s northeastern
Temagami Region was no easy task. The pair battled
sleep deprivation and dehydration while manoeuvring
through swamps and thick forest. Both decade-long
reservists of the Canadian Army, Darrell and Ben
relied on their knowledge of maps, stealth, observation
and use of camouflage. “Basic military skills are
what we relied on the most,” notes Darrell. “This
was an opportunity to showcase our expertise in a

Teamwork and clear communication were crucial for
the two friends. Said Darrell, “Ben and I approach

Gaudry, Production Supervisor Operations-Atikokan GS Repowering Team.
The province announced its support for the Atikokan Biomass
Repowering Project this August when it directed the Ontario Power
Authority (OPA) to negotiate a power purchase agreement with OPG for
biomass-powered electricity. Ken Lacivita, Director, Trading and Origination,
Energy Markets, reports that negotiations with the OPA are underway.
“We need to arrive at a power purchase agreement which will provide value
for Ontario consumers and a reasonable return for OPG.”
At the same time, the project team is working through proposals from
engineering and construction firms and biomass fuel suppliers. Should
the project be approved by OPG’s Board of Directors, contracts are expected
for the middle of 2011 with an in-service target date of late
2013. The team is also assembling environmental data required for the
environmental approval application.
Community outreach is an important part of the Repowering Project and
seeks to engage regional stakeholders including First Nations and Métis communities.
Project staff have hosted open houses and facility tours to create
opportunities for discussion on repowering. Chris Young, Vice President,
Thermal Generation Development says, “Our communication program
makes sure people are aware of the project and have the opportunity to raise
issues and express concerns. It’s the way OPG does business.”
