The SNO+ experiment is under construction and major installations will be completed by early 2013. Canadian SNO+ groups at Queen's, Alberta, Laurentian, SNOLAB and TRIUMF are heavily involved in fabrication and installation. In the near future, activities will turn to detector commissioning and Canadian groups will also play a lead role in the data analysis. Most of the capital equipment funding for SNO+ is provided by the CFI award (with in-kind contributions from the Provinces of Ontario and Alberta, as well as from Queen's University and the University of Alberta). There are a few small equipment items that are needed that were not anticipated during the proposal of the CFI project. A small Category 1 RTI (Subatomic Physics) request to NSERC will ensure that the SNO+ project will not miss fiscal 2012 project targets. The main science objectives for the equipment in this request are: world-leading neutrino physics studies with low energy solar neutrinos and a competitive neutrinoless double beta decay search.

SNO+实验正在建设中，主要设施将在2013年初完成。加拿大皇后学院、艾伯塔省、劳伦蒂亚省、SNOLAB和TRIUMF的SNO+集团大量参与制造和安装。在不久的将来，活动将转向探测器调试，加拿大团体也将在数据分析中发挥主导作用。SNO+的大部分资本设备资金由CFI奖励提供(安大略省和艾伯塔省以及女王大学和阿尔伯塔大学提供实物捐助)。有一些小型设备是在CFI项目提案期间没有预料到的。向NSERC提交一份第1类RTI(亚原子物理)小请求将确保SNO+项目不会错过2012财年的项目目标。本申请中设备的主要科学目标是：对低能太阳中微子进行世界领先的中微子物理研究，以及竞争性的无中微子双β衰变研究。
