The next step in removing fluoride from the town’s drinking water has passed. At last night’s meeting, council passed a by-law to stop adding fluoride to the municipal drinking water in a 5-1 recorded vote. Councillor Bonnie Keith was the only one who opposed the by-law, but not because she thinks fluoride should remain in the water.
Councillor Brad Horne had a message for town and Municipality of McDougall residents.
By stopping the addition of fluoride and not having a snap referendum, the town will save around $250,000. McDougall will discuss a similar by-law at their council meeting tomorrow night and if it’s passed there, fluoride will stop being added to the drinking water on Friday at noon.
