ELGIN MILLS RD W 5:30 PM
Please come out to report on our Richmond Hill demonstration this
Thursday at 5:30 pm.
The Belll Mobility tower was constructed despite:
- The fact that it was approved by Richmond Hill Council without
discussion and most affected residents were not made aware of it.
Petitions were sent to Bell outlining these issues.
- The fact that, although technically approved by council, the Mayor
expressed regret by writing a letter asking Bell to stay construction
due to enormous community objection and asked Bell to find an alternate
site further away from residents and a daycare.
- The fact that we advised Bell executives that we have a copy of a 2006
tape of a Bell representative stating to Norfolk County council, that
Bell would not consider a location near a school as ? ideal?.
- The fact that we advised Bell executives that the Vancouver School
Board does not allow towers within 300 m of schools.
- The fact that we advised Bell executives that the Toronto school Board
announced in 2008 that it too is pursuing a precautionary siting policy.
- The fact that the Chabad Rabbi, wrote a letter to Bell executives on
behalf of the Jewish community. The Chabad Daycare is located at the plaza.
Bell ignored community concerns and constructed its tower. Then it put a
Canadian flag atop of it. This was perceived as adding insult to injury
and staking their pole in glory.
This protest is about how democracy has failed us.
