Which Canadian colleges offer nuclear engineering programs?

In summary, there are several colleges in Canada that offer programs in nuclear engineering. One is the Polytechnic Montreal, which is located in Quebec and offers a program under the Department of Engineering Physics. Another option is McMaster University in Hamilton and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Oshawa, both of which are in close proximity to nuclear plants. As an A level student at Cambridge University, you are considering a future in either mechanical engineering or nuclear engineering and are seeking advice and arguments.

Here's two in Ontario, McMaster in Hamilton and UOIT in Oshawa... which is in close proximity to 2 present nuclear plants and the 'new' build CANDU plant which by all rumour should be breaking ground soon... about 1 year ago.
