Denis McBride 

Director, Security & Emergency Services Programs
Ontario Power Generation

Worked in the banking industry with Canada Trust until 1985, spending time in branch banking, estates, and lending.

Joined Ontario Power Generation in late 1999, as “Site Security Manager” of the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station.  Fulfilled that role until April 2008.  I was accountable for all aspects of Site Security operations, program & project planning, integration, budget, stakeholder & regulatory relations, human resources & labour relations.  My tenure at Pickering featured challenges such as: Y2K, the Pickering “A” Restart project, 9/11 (& subsequent security upgrade projects, site hardening, the introduction of site-based armed response), the Eastern Seaboard blackout, various labour and environmentalist actions.
Since that time served as OPG Nuclear Security’s “Manager, Special Projects & Integration”, largely focusing on security planning in anticipation of OPG constructing new reactors at its Darlington site.  Represented OPG during a 2 day in-camera session specifically devoted to security issues, in advance of the Canadian Nuclear Security Commission granting a licence to prepare the Darlington site for construction.
I currently serve as OPG’s “Director, Security & Emergency Services Programs”.  I direct a division within OPG’s Security and Emergency Services business unit, in which I am accountable for OPG’s: Investigations & Intelligence Unit, Security Clearance program, Governance, Business Planning, Threat Risk Assessments, Performance Metrics, Stakeholder Relations, Quartermaster program.
