"Back in February of this year, I got a call from a friend who was concerned about a Bell Canada transmission tower proposed for Port Franks. The thought of such an ugly thing "ungracing" the riverfront beauty of this tourist hamlet was upsetting to me . . .

"I intend to continue to throw my support to our Council, and all groups such as Southcott Pines, Grand Bend and Kettle and Stony Point residents in resisting this rampant expansion of a technology whose safety is in question.

"I feel so strongly that Port Franks must be designated a Transmission Antennae Free Zone. In Port Franks, we are the central portion of continuous woodland stretching from Kettle Point to Grand Bend, with a seasonally reduced human population from September to the end of June. Many endangered species are able to continue to exist in Ontario because of this. No studies at all have been done to find out how these electromagnetic frequencies affect our natural world. This spring, our Lambton Shores Council introduced a municipal protocol to protect us from these so-called "towers", and also, is sending off missives to all other Municipalities in Canada, warning them. Council is planning to set up a website soon, so that anyone can find out credible sources of information from an approved source. They have just sent off a comprehensive package of information to Industry Canada which provides evidences of why we should not have a cell phone transmission tower in Port Franks . . .
