Wi-Fi in schools
Hi there.
Just wanted to make contact with fellow parents fighting Wi-Fi in schools. Trying to catch up with all my emails. Busy week with our appeal before the Board of Education here in school district SD #62 (Sooke,Vancouver Island). The district has already started the installation of commercial Wi-Fi networks in all the schools here. No consultation with parents whatsoever. We have 5 children (2 are my own) that have medical notes re EHS or other conditions that we are asking accommodation for. Magda was so generous to help us out by providing a verbal submission via speaker phone. Her knowledge on the subject is profound. We can only hope trustees were truly listening and understanding the magnitude of this harmful pollution in schools.The cornerstone of our appeal is the Canadian Human Rights Commission report on Environmental Sensitivities that includes EHS. I have included my dissection I have put together for quick reference of portions that specifically pertain to electromagnetic fields. You may have done this yourself already. The Board has up to 45 days to make a decision re our appeal.
We are in the midst of planning a big media event around it with interviews and a rally outside the School District office and will keep you posted with any developments. Please keep us in the loop re any actions taking place where you are also.
Parents are starting to organize their efforts for a national effort re Wi-Fi in schools. We have now started a data base/registry for parents to assist with this. All we need is: parent’s name, email address and the School District their child(ren) belong to. This info can be sent toparentsforsafeschools@gmail.
Together we will see children protected!

Please forward my personal info on to anyone legit working on Wi-Fi in schools. We have started a data base/registry for parents if you know any who would like to join us to coordinate efforts in schools across Canada.
