Residents of an Ontario farm community that may become the site for a deep underground facility housing Canada's radioactive waste were given an all-expenses-paid trip to Finland to see first hand what that future might look like.

The municipality of South Bruce has been engaged in a years-long process to decide whether it wants to become host for a $23-billion facility that aims to safely seal away Canada's huge stockpile of nuclear waste for millennia.
