Re: Regional District Meeting ~ August 25th, 1976

Fluoridation has again reared its head. It started with a statement

“by the Health Officer, Mr. Bonham, in Vancouver and the Vancouver Council passed

it to the Regional District.

Today we agreed to have the G.V.R.D. put together all the information

pro and con on the issue and to hold Public Meetings so that everyone can have

their say.

It is my personal: opinion that it should be everybody's personal

choice if it goes to plebiscite. I believé the District and the Councils
should present information and the citizens should make their own decisions.
I presume that if a plebiscite is held it will be held at this year's

election so therefore Public Meetings will have to start within the next month

and a half and also there must be a decision made as to whether we should go

to plebiscite or not.

I will keep you informed, but I think we all should be prepared to

be bombarded by literature from both sides.
