Council Talks Fluoride at First Full Meeting
Prince George, B.C. – There is a full slate of business for the new Mayor and Council at this evening’s regular meeting of Prince George Council.
Councillors will be asked if they support the results of the referendum which had voters declare they wanted the City to end the practice of adding Fluoride to the water. Council will be asked if it would support having fluoridation stopped by the end of this year.
Also on the agenda, a report outlining planned road closures and parking restrictions in the downtown core for the duration of the Canada Winter Games. There will be a public hearing on changes to the Official Community Plan. The proposed change would add more cycling and pedestrian trails.
Residents of the Hart Highlands who just had the sewer installed, will be in for some good news as the estimated cost of the installation is much lower than anticipated, which will save each home owner about $10,000.
Council will also be asked to decide on who will be the three who will join Mayor Lyn Hall as a Director for the Regional District. Alternates will also be chosen.

Road closures and parking restrictions? Hey, now that’s a great idea to keep visitors from seeing our, almost alive, city core! Maybe they could consider the VLA too!
“Councillors will be asked if they support the results of the referendum which had voters declare they wanted the City to end the practice of adding Fluoride to the water. Council will be asked if it would support having fluoridation stopped by the end of this year.”
Congratulations PG on the result of this vote. What seems to be the hold up, get the crap outta my water…
That just means people are going to have get off their butts, open their car door and walk on their own two feet. Poor baby for road closures, waaaaa. A little walking distance goes a long way if you want to sight-see.

I think part of the problem as you see it, could be that tonight is the FIRST meeting of the new council. A little patience , at least long enough for them to meet the first time just might be in order..
Will they honor what they said about accepting the voters wants on this issue…. I would think if they don’t everythting else they said will have been a lie as well…and they might as well all resign as their credibility will be shot.
I will however be glad when the Winter Games and all the politicing that has been going on is over.
Maybe city council can tell us where this previously unknown , limitless source of money came from that has been and is being spent in the name of the Winter games.
Just read an article about skyrocketing infant tooth decay in Calgary. Now 3 years since bad science prevailed in that city.
Wondering who is footing the bill for the wood fence around the abandoned ‘hotel’ project beside the library.
Too bad about the kids in Calgary. Their health care system failed them and so did their parents. Good thing PG has Northern Health with their FREE fluoride tooth varnish for kids under 6 program. They also have a great dental care program that teaches kids and parents how to care for their teeth. So I guess NH will have to get out there and promote their programs and parent will have make sure their kids brush their teeth! Oh my!
Won’t happen, NoWay. If they didn’t care about their teeth when fluoride was in the water, they won’t care when it’s out.
We’ll see the same thing they saw in Calgary. You’ll pay later for this care. Too bad.
Agreed. My hygienist was working in Terrace when they stopped fluoridating the water there. She said that within the year, they saw the increase in dental decay, especially among the young and the marginalized. Expect the same thing here.
What a crock- saw an increase in dental decay within a year.
Exact JB, you can’t help stupid!
“Road closures and parking restrictions? Hey, now that’s a great idea to keep visitors from seeing our, almost alive, city core! Maybe they could consider the VLA too!”
Our Downtown core is small… obviously this is necessary. But, of course we need someone to complain.
If they bring in parking restrictions downtown, where are all the workers who currently park on the streets going to park?
Good thing treating the water is not up for vote to. The morons would vote for that to.
Didn’t you get the memo Ax? All downtown businesses are closing shop for the games and are forcing everyone to take their holidays!
Krusty:”Agreed. My hygienist was working in Terrace when they stopped fluoridating the water there. She said that within the year, they saw the increase in dental decay, especially among the young and the marginalized. Expect the same thing here.”
Except, of course, that the story is totally untrue! In Terrace a concerned citizen movement is under way as we speak to stop their mass medication with the known neurotoxin fluoride!
Terrace is still being fluoridated , as are Fort St. John and Cranbrook.
Once it is shut off here, B.C. will be more than 99% fluoride free! There never was a cavity epidemic after fluoridation in some cities was voted out! Our NH area has the worst dental problems record, in spite of being fluoridated since 1954!
Fluoridation does not work, but education does!
More info if you wish! I know the facts!
What surprises me is that Mackenzie citizens were asked years ago if they wanted Flouride, they said no. They didn’t have a problem with more tooth decay then and they don’t now. Wish these wannabe scientists would quit pushing crap that’s bad for us down our throats.
PG: “More info if you wish! I know the facts!”
I’ll listen to the medical and dental experts and professionals, but thanks just the same.
So glad we decided to listen to the conspiracy theorists and university of YouTube graduates rather than actual scientists on the fluoride issue. /sarcasm
I guess we have Calgary’s experience to look forward to. More kids with teeth problems and more dental costs. This is embarrassing.
There will be a public hearing on changes to the Official Community Plan. The proposed change would add more cycling and pedestrian trails.
step in the right direction! Love what this council is doing so far
