The company flying lawmakers and community leaders to Canada this month to see an active uranium mine will spend about $3,000 per person on the trip.
The three-day trip includes a visit to a mine and mill as well as meetings with Canadian officials, including the ministers of energy and natural resources, federal regulators and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, according to an itinerary released Monday in response to a request.
About 15 people are expected to go, including five legislators. Sen. John C. Watkins (R-Chesterfield) and Del. Onzlee Ware (D-Roanoke) are both attending. The company declined to release the full list of attendees.
The group will leave Richmond the afternoon of Sept. 26 and return the evening of Sept. 28. They will take a private jet from Richmond for the nearly four-hour flight to Saskatoon and stay at the Delta Hotel.
