Hi Amanda

Thank you for your story about Wi Fi in schools - http://www.medicinehatnews.com/front-page-news/wifi-in-area-schools-gets-passing-grade-radio-levels-miniscule-states-6000-study-01122011.html .

I am disappointed that Superintendent D. Leahy could be so fooled by statements made by Health Canada. He should know that Health Canada has made significant mistakes in the past which have severely harmed Canadians. These include Tobacco, DDT, PCBs, Thalidomide, Asbestos and other exposure risks where they originally advised Canadians that they were safe. If Mr. Leahy were to do his own due diligence, he would find many scientific papers that show serious harm to health caused by micro-wave radiation at levels below those found at Medicine Hat schools.

Trustee Jodi Churla stated that we should trust the science. I agree with that, but first she must find the science, read it, understand it and then she will realize how dangerous Wi Fi is. To illustrate the dangers of what Ms Churla, Mr. Leahy and Health Canada are ignoring, I have attached a letter that I sent to the Medical Officer of Health of my local health authority, Perth County, Ontario.

The letter describes how a very large scale scientific study (S. Szmigielski) indicates that micro-wave radiation can cause massive increases in the likely-hood and death from various cancers. Having Wi Fi in schools is likely to increase that danger by a large amount.

Why is the school board willing to risk the heath and safety of the children that they are supposed to protect? Why is Health Canada ignoring thousands of scientific research papers which indicate that electro magnetic radiation cause serious harm to health.

Much of the scientific evidence is easily available in the Bio Initiative Report http://www.bioinitiative.org .

Yours sincerely
