WENDY WALKS FOR ES (ELECTRO-SENSITIVITY)September 2012<br />
In light <strong>of</strong> the proliferation <strong>of</strong> Electro-magnetic Radiation (EMR) in our environment (such as those emitted from cell towers, ‘smartmetres’ and wi-fi) which have<br />
not been proven safe, we, the undersigned, do hereby Petition Mr. Stephen Harper, Prime Minister <strong>of</strong> Canada, the Members <strong>of</strong> Parliament; the Federal and<br />
Provincial Minister and Ministry <strong>of</strong> Health, the Minister and Ministry <strong>of</strong> Industry and the Minister and Ministry <strong>of</strong> Natural Resources to:<br />
1) Prevent Involuntary Exposure to electro-magnetic radio frequency. IE: smart meters on homes, wi-fi in schools and hospitals, etc<br />
2) Provide White Zones for Persons with ES and Those Not Wishing to be Exposed - Develop a template for the identification <strong>of</strong> White Zones (low RF areas) and<br />
implement the designation <strong>of</strong> such residential areas to the Canadian Land Use Code. IE: Port Franks Ontario and its adjoining lakeside communities’ natural shielding<br />
geography comprised <strong>of</strong> eco-sensitive Carolinian forests makes it a great location for a White Zone. A history making motion brought forward by Councilor John Russell<br />
was passed by the <strong>Municipality</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lambton</strong> shores, requesting staff research and report in consideration <strong>of</strong> creating a 'white zone' in the hamlet <strong>of</strong> Port Franks.<br />
3) Reduce Emission Levels - Adopt, Establish and Enforce regulations limiting the amount <strong>of</strong> electromagnetic radiation emissions from electronic devices and<br />
infrastructure in developed and natural environments.<br />
4) Allow Municipalities to have the Final Say - Legislate Industry Canada to adhere to Municipal protocols and Provincial laws for land use regarding all antenna<br />
siting; no exclusion, no exceptions. Where there are no pre-existing Municipal protocols, the default process shall be based on the most stringent Municipal protocols<br />
registered at the time. Additional protections for natural areas, endangered species/ species at risk and children must be given.<br />
5) Require Transparency and Escape Clauses for Telecommunications Contracts - Contracts must be made open for public scrutiny and protection. Escape clauses<br />
must be built into Telecom/Land Owner Contracts which is concurrent with the same time period as the public consultation response process to protect land owners.<br />
