Marley Giunta a spokesperson for the group opposed to putting fluoride in Thunder Bay's water supply states, "Thunder Bay City Council are about to vote on Monday July 20th as to whether or not water fluoridation will be on the voting ballot of the upcoming election (Nov 2010)".

"If the majority of the Councillors vote no, then it would be up to the District Health Unit to try to get 9,000 people (10% of the population) to sign a petition to get the question added to the election ballot," adds Giunta. "Our Councillors have the power to stop the Health Units pro-fluoride campaign right in its tracks".

The group asks people in Thunder Bay to "send a letter or email, as soon as humanly possible,to your City Councillor".

The Address to send mail to city council is:
