Subject:
radio tower
Dear Ms Fox, 
 
I am writing to oppose the installation of the proposed radio tower  on Gabriola.  I live about 1 km from the 
proposed site.  I have heard enough anecdotal  evidence on the health effects of radio frequency exposure to 
give me concern.  Also there is another case on this island of a few guys with a hobby, who are negatively 
affecting the  health and economic lives of their neighbours. I am talking about the gun club, which by the way 
is in the same area! 
Why does  the interest of a small group of people  hold sway  over the great majority once again. 
There is already a radio service, CHLY,  with local input that meets this islands needs.  We do not need to 
disrupt the environment, and put peoples health at risk to satisfy these hobbyists. I would expect a responsible 
government to be less cavalier with it’s citizens’ wellbeing. 
 
 
Yours

Re: Gabriola Radio Society’s proposal to site a radio tower near the end of Chernoff 
Drive on Gabriola Island. 
 
 
Dear Islands Trust and Industry Canada, 
 
I do not want the radio tower built on Gabriola. I believe the radio tower is counter to the 
way of life for me on this island.  As a community member on Gabriola, I would not 
make use of this radio station.  Please do not concur with this proposal on my behalf. 
 
Sincerely,  
Luanne McCollum
